Living the American Dream!
Canāt waitāwill try to get out to hit some golf balls in the sub-40 weather this week.
I donāt remember that on-course employee amenity from TSS3/EP2 ā must be in the lost footage.
Only 3 times?
Wait on 2āopportunity to get to that snack bar.
I donāt think they played Rancho in TSā¦
Another vote for Cassia (despite the fact it causes a fight between me and the wife on the proper pronunciation). God, itās so good.
And yeah, all of their restaurants: Tallulaās, Rusticāhave you tried Milo & Olive?
Italianāsoft spot in my heart for Locanda Portofino. I assume because youāre shouting out SM spots you must live around here. Whatās your take on Forma?
I used to live right next to Forma, big fan.
Yeah, thatās me being a dummy and reading too quickly over Rancho and seeing Rustic.
Anybody interested in playing Rustic Canyon next Sunday? Ideally, around 8-9a.
Sunday 1/19 or 1/26?
1/26
26th is looking good for me at the moment. Iād be down.
Made an executive decision that daylight is a precious resource weād run out of too soon by trying to make it to Rustic. Hopefully thatās not too disappointing. Rancho is a treat in itself but in a totally different ethos-sphere from Rustic.
No worries whatsoever. Iām down for getting in the max amount of golf. Will be 24 degrees in NY on Monday, so no complaints from me. Likely coming to LA at least once every quarter now, so opportunities in the future. Much appreciated. Iāll Lyft from LAX and meet you there. Cool if I dump my luggage in your car during round?
A buddy and I are coming to LA in early February to golf. We fly into LAX on Friday the 7th at about 9:20 on Delta. Iāve booked a round at Rustic Canyon at 1:30 PM. We have to drive to Oxnard to pick up my clubs, Iām Shipsticks-ing them to our hotel.
Two questions:
- Anyone want to join to fill out the foursome? Hoping to get a full 18 in, so we will be chasing the light.
- I think this should be plenty of time to get luggage, rental car, pick up clubs, and get to the course. Agree?
And get to the course? For sure. How many holes do you want to play, though?
Iām kidding. LAX sucks, getting a rental car sucks there, and itās a long haul to Oxnard, but you should still be able to make it to Rustic by 1:30.
Are you not able to Shipsticks to clubs to Rustic?
Good idea about shipping to Rustic, I will check with them.
Just be warned that there is a lot of uncertainty with this. They recently put in a new policy for Cabs/Lyft/Uber that they all have to pick up from a separate lot. I havenāt done it yet but Iāve seen people say itās a complete nightmare and Iāve seen others say it works great.
It really depends on what terminal you fly into. If youāre in Southwest (T1) itās a piece of cake because the lot is right next to the terminal. If youāre in Terminal 3+ it sucks because itās either a super long walk or youāre waiting on shuttles to make their way to you through the absurd traffic of the airport and then drop you off at the lot, while stopping and loading other passengers/luggage at every other terminal along the way.
We took the shuttle all the way around the loop from terminal 1 right before New Years. Piece of cake even then. They worked out a lot of kinks in the first couple weeks. Much better now.
Why didnāt you walk from T1? Itās like 4 minutes.
and @Kelch is the most pro-walking guy i knowā¦
