Mrs.?

I suppose I deserve that.

But yes, I am in.  My wife is a non-golfer of the non-iest sort.

 

[Tim Leahy]

Sounds good, count me in. I will be riding. If any other places are added like Pajaro or someplace else add me also as I will probably stay the weekend in the area.

It was from another recent thread. I dpn't recall which, but I tohuhgt you might apprciate the homage.

I believe the "Mrs." was a tyop from an earlier life.

Wish I could be there, man I love that course.  "The best nine holes in golf?"  The back nine at Pasatiempo.

It's pretty good, but I might rank it behind the front 9 at Ballyneal or the back 9 at Ballyneal. Perhaps you will agree by the year's end.

In....sounds great.

I am looking forward to Ballyneal in June, but Pasatiempo will remain #1 nine holes no matter what.  There is something magical, sort of like Brigadoon, about the routing and interweaving of the wondrous holes on that back nine.

Compatriots,

GCA’s new favorite son (apparently,   ) Jim Colton will be visiting Northern California in early March. Part of this trip includes plans to play 18-36 holes at Pasatiempo on Friday, March 12. If anyone would like to join us, please respond with firm commitments to this thread and/or send me an IM so we know how many foursomes to arrange. I believe my father and Mrs. Huckaby are also confirmed, thus far.

NCGA members can walk for $135. We may be able to arrange for even deeper discounts.

What time is the ticker tape parade?

[Bob Jenkins]

I too wish I could join you. Bill McBride is "bang on" about the back nine at Pasa being possibly the best ever. Just think of combining that with the front nine at Royal St Georges!!

By the way, if any of you are coming up to Vancouver for the Olympics, you may as well bring your clubs. It has been near 50F here for all of January, and other than a few rain out days, the courses around here are very busy. I went down to my home course yesterday at lunch and it was very playable and busy, the mowers were out and all were happy, except me as I had to go back to work. 

[Joe Perches]

What time is the ticker tape parade?

You missed them.

I'd rather not hear about ticker tape from those employed by bailed out financial "institutions."

You'll get a pride parade at best

[Patrick Kiser]

El Capitan,

Sure.  I'm in if there's still room...   

[Kyle Henderson]

Moved to 1st post...

[JLahrman]

Kyle, by when do you need these firm commitments?

[Kalen Braley]

I would attend, but I just couldn't take seeing my name up there as:

Kalen "Sandman" Braley!!    

[Kyle Henderson]

Kyle, by when do you need these firm commitments?

See above.

[Brent Hutto]

I know you guys will have a wonderful day out and Pasa is an awesome golf course.

That said, am I to understand that a 36-hole day there is now $330? I've paid that much for courses that were no better but still.

Sweet mother, could 2005 have been that long ago...

Those are the going rates, sadly so. Even sadder is they are not that out of touch with other, lesser, nearby courses.

The good news remains that Pasatiempo gives a very nice discount to NCGA members, and if you are not local, heck just join the NCGA and you still save money.

But such is golf, and such is REALLY NorCal golf....

[JLahrman]

Kyle, by when do you need these firm commitments?

See above.

Thanks, sorry if I missed that...

[JLahrman]

Kyle, please put me down as extremely probable, and let's bump this back up.

[Jed Peters]

It's on my calendar, so I guess I'm in.

Let's spend a couple more bucks and try to do a lunch/dinner thing?

[Jon Spaulding]

I don't understand some of the nicknames. For example, any remaining manlyness in me was extricated on Friday. Some abbreviated research will lead you to Huckaby's, and more importantly Benham's monikers.

Perhaps you can name the outing the "THE 1st annual Spring Beard Pull, brought to you by JP Morgan & friends"...or thereabouts. Topics would include, but are not limited to:

- why MacKenzie chose to live on such a lousy golf hole
- Ballyneal, schmallyneal
- hey Jim.....does Jamie Dimon have access at Chicago GC...
- what do my emasculation and the white sand at Pasatiempo have in common
- USC football, a look at the Paul Hackett era by Huckaby

You forgot the most predictable question.

-Cougars: Why so many in Washington State?

[Kyle Henderson]

Bump. Two more players needed to fill out another foursome.
