An obvious attempt at LA access.

What are you doing out there for a month John?

My daughter got a house on the beach. I’m here till she kicks me out. It’s an amazing lifestyle that doesn’t compliment the lethargic.

[Tim Leahy]

I am telling you add Angeles National. It's miles closer than anything mentioned and it's better than Soule and I like Soule. It ain't cheap but you can afford it.

[Carl Nichols]

I've always been intrigued by Palos Verdes, Los Verdes, and Rolling Hills.  If you play any of them please report back.

[Mike Hendren]

Barney, I sense a new lightness in your demeanor - you wear it well.  I am most impressed by your daughter’s hospitality! No doubt a testament to the old man.  Have fun.

[John Kavanaugh]

I have a game at Olivas Links on Sunday. Very excited.


In the meantime I plan to continue my deep dive into the LA Jazz scene. Anyone want a piece of that ride let me know.

[BHoover]

The most interesting thing, to me, about this thread is that its author would have been the very first to absolutely eviscerate anyone attempting to do the same thing—gratuitously seeking access.


You have to love the irony.

Land in LA tomorrow for as long as “it” takes. Please golf with me. Anywhere, anytime.


Last dude, Laz, that took me up on a similar plea got a hole in one during our round. Why not you?


I’ve packed slacks.

Hoov,


Let's not loose sight of my original post above. I'm letting my friends know I'm available without the uncomfortable nature of an possible unwanted direct contact. I doubt that even pre-not-me would find fault in that.


Give me a week or so and I'll have some bike boes and jazz buds in the fold. We all benefit.

[Tal Oz]

Barney it was lovely to meet you for a game at Rustic this past weekend!

For the jazz scene, go up to the top of mulholland and beverly glen to a place called Vibrato. Whoever's playing there is always worth a visit!

John,
Let’s hear where you have played so far….

[John Kavanaugh]

I played Rustic, Riviera and Bel-Air last weekend. Olivas Links this Sunday. Living the life of a non affiliated golfer in LA is illuminating.

[John Kavanaugh]

I understand that I need to embrace beach life since golf is sparse in the big city. I bought the bike but now I need the bod. Thinking of taking next on the volleyball court. Lord knows I can’t get an invite no matter how long I stare.


Hey, fat dude, yeah you on the three wheel trike. How’s your overhead serve? Wicked dude...I got next.

Always fascinated by golf in LA but never played when I was there. How was Bel-Air?

[Steve Lang]

JK,


Are you going to head up to Ventura County and take in some LPGA golf?

[John Kavanaugh]

I looked for flaws at Bel-Air and found none. Best work I’ve seen out of Doak.

I got a Dodgers game on my spectator grid.

[John Kavanaugh]

Played Olivas Links yesterday. Plaudits to Forrest for providing a subtle layout that optimized challenge and pace of play. Olivas Links at $53 including cart on a Sunday should be in every value discussion across the country.

[Tim Martin]

Any noteworthy buddy-ups?

[John Kavanaugh]

I’ve played with Tal Oz and Mark Kiely. I met Luke, Al and Buck. Many of you probably know Buck from his barefoot Saturday game at Rustic.

John,

If you are still here the 24th or after, I would love to host you at Victoria Club in Riverside.

You can count on it. I will stop at no lengths for a good ass kicking.

What are you playing to nowadays?

If you are able to make it out, we should invite a few others from the group. Victoria is a blast to play. Very "sporty." :-)

I’m a vanity 5. Kinda sad really.

Pretty soon were going to be calling you Kato....
