2015 King's Putter venue suggestions?

[Pete_Pittock]

Pete,
That works for my schedule. We just play the emergency lateral hazard rule at TP-N.

[Pete Lavallee]

The canyons are always played as laterals during casual play.

I remember Phil being pissed off that somebody found his tee ball in one if those canyons.

Pete,

I sense that January might be too early for those whose work is particularly important in the first month of the year.  I am not that big of a fan of TP-N, so playing it is not a big priority.  Nevertheless, if that is what we want to do, I can probably make it if we can set the dates soon.

[Matt Bielawa]

I'd love to come on out and help defend the Putter, but January would definitely be tough for me.  I'd lend my support from a few thousand miles away though.

[Pete_Pittock]

Any organizer yet?   The constant turnover in gca.com participants and lurkers shouldn't preclude a return to past venues.

[Sven Nilsen]

Had a conversation last night with a crusty old soul about Northwood, which led me here.

Any updates?  As a newly minted pacific rim resident, the KP is in and the MWM is out.

Ain't no party like a west coast party.

Stone Eagle, etc was in 2006. Clear Creek was in 2010. But yeah.

[David Stamm]

2009 was Santa Anita, Soule Park,  Rustic Canyon and Sherwood CC.

[David Stamm]

FWIW, a return to Barona for 2015 would be cool. It's been a while.

[Pete_Pittock]

so many indians, so few chiefs

[Dave McCollum]

I'm sitting here by the fire (Indian style) up in the snowy mountains of Idaho.  Any venue looks appealing to me.  Not currently a Californian, but my 20 years in LA seems like enough to give me sub status.  Plus, I've got kids in San Francisco, so I don't mind playing for either team.  If we just had a game.

[Bill_McBride]

A few years ago the Kings Putter seemed to be losing momentum so I jumped in and organized a great KP at Bandon.   Bob Jenkibs followed that with a visit to Sagebrush and Vancouver.  Maybe that's the future of the KP, outside California but in the West, at interesting venues.  While I would love to see Barona and always welcome a visit to Pasatiempo, there might be other good destinations.  As always it just takes someone to step up and take charge. 

By contrast the Dixie Cup in the fall has had a consistent core of organizers and a lot of potential locations for future events. 

[Pete_Pittock]

It would have been nice if, when some people suggested venues (such as Sea Ranch/Bodega, or Torrey Pines North), they didn't get so much  buzzkill.

If I recall correctly, there was some positive responses, "I'm in," to Gib's proposal.    Perhaps it's worthy of more discussion. 

[Kyle Henderson]

Doubful I can attend this year, but there are lots of decent public options in the Sacramento/Sierra foothills region that could make for a good KP. April or May timeframe would work well weather wise. If anyone is jnterested in seeing Darkhorse, Morgan Creek, and maybe a few others in the region, I would be happy to share some of the gruntwork.

[Sven Nilsen]

I liked the sound of Gib's trip, with the possibility of throwing in Aetna Springs.  Adding in wine country might be a recipe for disaster, however.

Offer was made then shouted down.

Your offer didn't include comps.

Great golf, great food, great lodging alternatives for every budget, reasonable airfares and above all great weather.
Golfing heaven to me.

A KP during the summer time would also mean half empty golf courses for as many emergency nines as you could possible want to play!!!!
Pretty sures most venues in Cabo would allow replay at very nominal fees n'est pas?
