Greg - I am in.  Do you want a deposit or full payment?  Where should I send it?

Well send me an e-mail my man!

I guess I should read the entire post

In fairness you read a partially completed post that I had prematurely posted 

I recall another post where someone said they would be your rommie... please include if accurate. And again, don't expect much communication or request for deposit until we get the G20 folks out of here. At least the American contingent is not staying at our resort (though the Mexican delegation is)

Hi Greg,

Thank you for your generosity in offering this enticing opportunity!

Quick question --

is there any obligation on the part of the attendees to sit through a membership or property pitch?
If so please advise.  Would like to know if there is this sort of expectation.

None whatsoever. We have no real estate on the market and will only discuss membership with those who are seriously considering purchasing a previously owned property that qualifies for membership invitation.

The hotel does have a timeshare component and hotel guests will typically be approached at some stage during their visit (in the lobby typically) but can politely say "no thank you" and go on about their business of enjoying Cabo.

Those staying in the private residences will not encounter such nonsense.

As I have stated before one of the requirements of playing Diamante should we be fortunate enough to do so would likley be a timeshare pitch from their sales team. I will be the first to say it is likley worth it if given the opportunity.

Only angle to this is bringing together like minded folks in one of the world's special spots at a reasonable rate. If I try to sell you ANYTHING it will be that my game was once much better than it is now.

Thank you for the question as it never occurred to me some might be thinking in such terms.

[Tim Pitner]

Greg,

I can't make it this time, but I just wanted to thank you for putting this together--very gracious of you.  I look forward to getting down there sometime in the near future. 

Good luck with the G20--I know how those government types can be.

[Greg Tallman]

OKAY - Roadblocks, 8 days of closed golf courses and all the other wonderful things our world leaders brought in tow are now gone. Time to get serious about the event in January.

Deposits will be August 15th - $500 per room (I will sned forms to everyone who signs up)
Final Payment will be (hopefully... I rejected the first contract from the hotel) December 1st

VAMANOS!

Back to the top...

Have heard from precious few that expressed interest.

[Brad Tufts]

Hi Greg...wanted to reiterate interest...have a buddy of mine that would be joining if it works out.

Thanks!

Brad, Duly noted. What is your time frame for deciding?

[Brad Tufts]

Hi Greg...will try to make a decision in the next few weeks.

Thanks for the reminder!

Considerable interest in Diamante golf (cannot promise anything) and a few interested in Bay of Dreams (operation of this course does not appear all that promising as of right now but one never knows), Chileno Bay (Fazio) looks more and more like it will be ready though probably not open to the public but I am optimistic the timing is right to get a smallish group on at a reasonable (for Cabo) rate.

Again - I will be sending deposit forms in August and may be able to take stragglers after that but nothing in the way of guarantees.

Early arrivals and late departures (3 days either side) can get the special rate of $225 per night (all in) at Sheraton. Checking Expedia today these rooms are listed at $491 per night. Just let me know if you wish to arrive earl/stay late and I will build it into your package.

[Greg Tallman]

Anybody else?

[Jim Johnson]

A gentle nudge, for Greg. Anybody else interested in this?

Perhaps you could change the name of this thing, Greg ... I'm a vodka drinker myself. 

[Jason Topp]

Tufts

Suck it up and commit!

I wil introduce you to Mexico's finest Vodka, Oso Negro. Anyone who has had the pleasure will understand the joke.

I will send out deposit requests in about 2 weeks. You will be able to sign up after the initial deposit period but accommodations will be subject to availability though I do not foresee an issue.

I understand the price is not as attractive as some of the GCA events but I can assure you it will be the least expensive way to enjoy some wonderful golf in Cabo during the winter. 

[Greg Tallman]

Deposit requests will go out Monday, August 6. Any additional takers?

[Dave McCollum]

Count me in.  I’m still working on finding a roommate to commit.  I’ll look back in the thread about where to send the deposit.

BTW, Greg, I need to come just to forget my golf in PV.  I melted.

Dave, please shoot me an e-mail to gtallman@cabodelsol.com.mx - can't imagine playing in PV this time of year.

Deposit requests will be another few days... busy playing in the dirt.

[Brad Wilbur]

Greg,

I sent you an email to see if late entries would be accepted.   My wife will just have to have good rehab after rotator cuff surgery. 

[Brad Tufts]

Hey Greg,

I think I'm in.  I'm sure you've gotten the 50 questions email from my buddy Fergal O'Leary at this point, but I think we will end up doing pretty much what has been proposed.  It's a great deal!

I was looking last night at flights, and it looks like we might fly out wed. night, stay at LAX, then fly down Thurs. morning...heading back Monday afternoon.  $730 on American from Boston...not bad!

Let me know what's next.

Thanks,

Brad
