What's up brothers and the very few ladies on here?

Born and raised in NH and have been living in San Diego the last 7 years. Life has been real good it seems. 

I've just started really getting into golf the past 2 - 3 years. Before that, my obsession was / still is paintball (competitive, recreation, scenarios, tournament, and "outlaw ball). I've been playing that most of my life and continue to this day. Paintball, oddly, calms me down while golf is the new recreation / sport that gets me fired up (paintball does too with tournaments). 

I've been going to the range and playing a little golf with my dad here and there as a kid all the way until now. Never took it serious. I was just a range kid with my dad. 

So, I live in San Diego where the average round is great then 4.5 hours roughly and courses don't seem to mind sending out a five some. 

Couple of fun facts:

  • Most recent GHIN is 15.4
  • For the longest time, my stock shot was a fade and somewhat still is. I've trained and practiced enough that a draw in preferred but it can get away from me. 
  • I have very little to no brand loyalty but, I respect all manufacturers and what they do. I'll give ANY club a try.
  • I'm an iron *****. In the past 3 years: Ping I3, G30s, Wilson V5, Cobra MB King (3 different sets of these), PXG 0311T's (1st gen), Mizuno MP18SCs, P790s, and now JPX919 Tours.
  • Right now, my problem is thinning my irons.
  • I'll play and actually prefer to play the hardest tees possible. Noone ever got better by getting it easy. 

Anyways, if you're in San Diego and wanna play a round, by all means, send me a message. I'm a social butterfly and will play sober, competitive, buzzed, and different games (like one club rounds).

Nice intro!  Welcome from the Pacific Northwest!  Glad you joined us.  I haven't played much around San Diego; only Torrey, Barona Creek, and Cross Creek up in Temecula.  I traveled over the mountains to Palm Springs; played  a lot there.

Whats going on stanks? Im an SD native and proud Padres fan. You remind me of myself...no brand loyalty. Haha. I consider myself a "new gen" player. Competitive but really out there just to have fun, drunk or sober.

Torrey is the "spectacle" of San Diego. It's great to play and will test ya! I can't speak for Barona creek or Cross Creek but will have to take a look up that way. I am playing Indio / Palm Springs / La Quinta in a week and am jazzed to give them a whirl!

Always a lot of great memories from anyone I've met that has spent time or served in SD. Thank you for your service! Tourmaline is still a surfer new ne experienced paradise! Water is great lately!

Well!!! I am so new to the game that I can't really have brand loyalty! I am still kind of learning everything and trying everything I can get my hands on. I have a lot of well placed friendships and contacts in most golf companies around here and Carlsbad. Lately, I am quite partial to my Mizuno irons and my new TM Hi-Toe wedge which I wish they made all the way down to 46 degrees since I don't use a PW by "stock means" haha. 

I'm playing Chula Vista again this weekend. Hope you cats shoot low and make some eagles (maybe an ACE [why not shoot for the moon, ya know?]?!) this weekend if you're playing!

From a fellow Sox fan transplanted to San Diego (via MA about 7 yrs ago and never leaving if I can help it), nice intro! I highly recommend Barona Creek btw, especially now that its cooling off out there. Not sure if they still have this deal but in past years if you tee off post- 11:00 which is their winter-time "twilight" the greens fee drops substantially (I think like $80 vs $160). Very interesting layout with some elevation changes and possibly the best greens that are open to the public in San Diego (outside of Torrey around tournament times of course). I've never seen it too crowded either, so you can get through in 4 hrs easily.

You know? I have never had the please of dropping in on Barona Creek. I don't read anything about it or hear anything about it so, thanks for adding it to my check out list. The cool thing about the place we live in is the fact that many people would call it the "mecca" of golf. There are always places to play. My normal local go to's are:

  1. Mission Bay (literally 1 - 2 minute drive from house... VIVA PB!)
  2. Bonita
  3.  Torrey North and South
  4. La Jolla CC
  5. Admiral Baker
  6. Riverwalk

I played Crosby Rancho Santa Fe today as a guest and that place, if you have the means and contacts, I would highly recommend to take every opportunity to play. It is a great great spot that is highly renowned. 

Last but not least, GO SOX!

Barona is very good, Cross Creek is one of my favorites, The Crossings in Carlsbad is good, Arrowwood in Oceanside is good, Camp Pendleton is really good now, also there is Sycuan Willow or Oak Glenn.
