Roll Call: L.A. County (Rustic Canyon and the Coachella Valley are not in L.A. County)

Welcome to LA! Where are you coming from in New England?

Lazstradamus · January 21, 2020, 10:59pm

(here we go…)

I work in Huntington when I go to the office. Afternoon 9s at Big Rec are hopefully going to be more frequent for me in the next few months.

Originally from Connecticut but have been living in Boston for the last year and a half. Two places where golf is only played in your dreams this time of year!

JBoneCapone · January 22, 2020, 3:56pm

Awesome, let me know if you ever need someone to play with

TacoBucket · January 22, 2020, 3:57pm

Yep! Grew up in Central MA, been out here for 7 years. Best decision.

Brick-Tamland · January 25, 2020, 12:11am

Good choices…have you played Lakewood?

Lazstradamus · January 25, 2020, 12:28am

Never. I rank my Long Beach area options like so:
Skylinks
Eldorado
Big Rec

Brick-Tamland · January 25, 2020, 12:55am

I agree with that order but Lakewood is pretty fun…I won’t even play Big Rec

Lazstradamus · January 25, 2020, 3:45am

I like the accuracy big rec calls for.

bmb430 · January 25, 2020, 3:50am

Just played Skylinks for the first time today… Better firmness than the other courses. I will say that I can usually get much better pace of play on weekdays at Big Rec. That’s a big bonus.

Folks , could use a little help here:

Can anyone recommend a good instructor in or around LA? I can’t afford GG (no surprise), and I would prefer someone under $200 for an hour, but if no one has any recommendations I think I’m going to pull the trigger on one lesson with Dana Dalqhuist. The Golf Digest best in state list does not really have a lot of LA county options. May go with Alison Curdt if no one has someone else they’ve gone to and really liked. Sort of uneasy about checking out the Santa Monica GolfTec, as there’s really no info out there I can find about their instructors

TacoBucket · January 28, 2020, 2:33am

Alison is my friends neighbor and I’d love to get introduced but my dumb friend has never spoken to her. She’s obv super smart and accomplished, would love to get a lesson.

GremlinGolfer · January 28, 2020, 3:22am

@Bagger and I will be at Rustic on Sunday the 9th. Looking at probably a late morning tee time. If anyone wants to hook up for a game, let me know.

Lazstradamus · January 28, 2020, 3:30am

Honestly, consider evolvr.com I’m way into it.

rka · January 28, 2020, 3:39am

Can you pick your instructor? Can I ensure I get @iacas?

Lazstradamus · January 28, 2020, 3:41am

I’m not sure. But I do know I’m hitting fades and anyone who knows me will tell you that’s a miracle.

iacas · January 28, 2020, 3:49am

Generally, no, but I’ve been known to make an exception.

enriquedlcm · January 28, 2020, 3:55am

Monte Scheinblum @ Oak Creek in Irvine is the man. $150/hr. People fly in to see him, he’s quite famous in the golfwrx land.

iacas · January 28, 2020, 4:35am

Dana is a great option.
