I am looking to join a "beginner's" golf group to play a variety of executive courses
 
I would lime to hook-up a group of "beginners" to play a variety of executive courses on a weekly basis, preferable on Wednesday or Friday. I am available from mid-September until mid-May. Please, let me know if I can join you.

Thanks, Dave Bordem

Too expensive for the condition their in.

2bordens 09-17-2021 04:07 AM

I would be interested in playing once or twice a week.
 
I would be interested in joining a group, just me (wife doesn't play). But, I, too, am a novice and my game is not suited for Championship courses. Once or twice a week on an executive course would be great.

Thanks for your interest, our group is currently only playing once per week on Championship courses (Sunday late afternoons). Keep us in mind when you want to play with the group.

Thank you,

I picked up one of the BagBoy Nitron Golf Push Carts at the beginning of the year and have had zero problems with it. It isn't the cheapest one out there but it folds up small and unfolds in under 3 seconds. I've got a big BagBoy tour/staff bag and they have a feature that locks it right in place so it sits securely and literally can't fall off, moves/rolls smooth, it also has a hand brake so it won't roll away on you. 2 drawbacks are that you have to take your bag off the cart in order to fold it back up and the storage pouch under the handle doesn't secure causing things to fall out when you do go to put it back in the car (a small piece of double sided velcro tape easily solved the latter problem)

Trying to nip this off topic diversion "in the bud", before it took over the thread...no need for ad hominem nastiness.

Thanks for being the good Samaritan.

D) 2 People (1 couple) have future interest, no at TV yet. As mentioned previously, the focus for now is getting Group "A" sorted out and playing by June. I'd like to let this percolate for a few days to get feedback from people on preferences for day to play golf, format suggestions, any concerns or issues with group golf and every individual's personal choices. The group is for golf fun & enjoyment only...sorry to have to emphasize this, but we hope all can leave their politics at home for a few hours. Thanks!

Dr Winston O Boogie jr 06-26-2022 09:31 AM

My wife and I would be interested. I was a decent player back in the day, not so much any more. I have trouble with the heat and several injuries limit what I can do.
The wife is a complete beginner but enjoys getting out.
We'd probably only be interested in executive courses but might consider the occasional championship.

What do I need to do to get added to the list?

We only play Championship courses to date, however a few players have shown interest in playing Executive courses also.
I can add you to our group roster as an "alternate", meaning I will only add you to the weekly group request for Sunday Championship play if you contact me through E-mail by the Monday (12 noon) prior to play day (following Sunday).

If you want me too add you as an "alternate" on our group roster, please E-Mail following info to me (at grayesun@yahoo.com):
Names
Golf ID #'s

Just a quick followup to recent posts…my wife and I would be interested in executive courses also.

(I currently play with the group on champ courses, but I would love for my wife to play with the group, and she would like to start with the execs.) :)
