Mr. Huckaby,
I seem to remember that word, cheeky, from my deployment to England last year. Now I know those girls at the bar were DEFINITELY talking about me...damn!
I didn't mean to be barking venues. I was just putting in my two cents for Pasa. I asked my father-in-law for his daughters hand in marriage on the back veranda of The Tap Room. So I hold that course in high esteem.
Well I was born in Los Angeles and now live in San Jose, so cheeky is not a term I often use. It just seemed appropriate here.
As I say, it's all good. And given your history with Pasatiempo, well I believe I have found the first participant here who holds it in HIGHER esteem than I do. I have a very very strong love for that course that goes way back.
So it's not for lack of esteem for the course that I responded as I did... more that we have done this event twice there as it is (as I say) and that well... having organized this several times myself in the past... well.. there is more that goes into this beyond quality of course. For one, outside of some inside help, groups can't go off on weekends before 11am (and even with that help it's dubious one kicks the members off the morning on a fine spring day). That rather hurts the logistics. It's also darn expensive now, far more so than traditionally this event has been geared to (courses that are great but also inexpensive).
All this being said, if the boys did set this up for Pasatiempo and managed the logistics, I doubt anyone would complain. Just knowing a the history as I do, and having done events there for this and other friends... well... I wouldn't suggest the boys even try.
But as I say also, you had no way of knowing any of this, so no hassles man.
