Just talked with the Los Altos pro and our format for Saturday 4/15 is set (in pencil). They have a shotgun tournament that morning but that will leave plenty of time for us to play there in the afternoon. So I am proposing:
8:30ish: UNM North (delightful 9 hole course)
- format: 2v2 net best ball matches
- players on winning teams get a 3 point boost to their afternoon quota score
- losing teams start at 0
- halved match: all players get 1 point
- we can refine this, but opening with best ball is always a nice friendly handshake for a competitive-ish day of golf
1:00ish: Los Altos
- format: individual quota with bonus points outlined above
That should leave time to get lunch somewhere nearby (plenty of good options in the UNM / Nob Hill area).
Additional Friday and Sunday rounds will be at Marty Sanchez (Santa Fe) and the UNM South Championship course.
Happy Pi Day for those who celebrate!

Are we doing 1 loop? 69 loops?
Just one since we have to play there in the AM.

You can pick your partner if you want to take on two bladetheists: myself and @jsg_nado

Can I ask questions, have open and honest discussion, and look at the toys without having to go down to the front of the church and convert at the end of the round?

Greetings! We are nearly two weeks out so I wanted to see if schedules have firmed up so that I can lock in our tee time details. Specifically looking for Friday arrival and preferred playing times (@Waffles @Jpop942 @wiz @hannajb8 @tbrooks), Saturday IN/OUT (@Breakfast_Ball_Hite @wiz @Blinkman2) and Sunday updates as well. I wonāt be able to play late Friday, so trying to figure out Friday itinerary is a little tricky. Let me know what itās looking like.

I will be a No for Friday. Was hoping Iād be able to bail on work early for a PM round but since it will be in Santa Fe I donāt think I can anymore. My game off the tee is in a dark place right now but looking forward to choppin it up Saturday with you all.

I might try to arrange a Friday afternoon nine for after the drive back from Santa Fe. Watch this space.

Is this where we make a pitch for teammates if we donāt have one? Or is it a random selection?

Yes! Teams for the Sat AM nine are fully negotiable at competitorsā discretion. It will be net best ball so no handicap index restrictions on pairs.

Since we have critical mass for Friday morning, here is the updated itinerary:
Friday AM: 18 at Marty Sanchez Links de Santa Fe
Friday PM: late 9 somewhere in ABQ
- Our best/favorite muni (Arroyo Del Oso) is aerating greens next week so they will have had ~10 days to recover
- Could play either of the Saturday courses here for a scouting mission
Saturday: 27 hole competition
Sunday AM: 18 at UNM Championship
- I wonāt be able to play here. I had been down on this course but it won me back last week. You guys will love it if you stick to the white or blue tees and no farther back.
