Hello friends… John here from Petaluma… planning a trip up to Portland and Gearhart Sept 15-20.
Just wanted to touch base is all. The men’s club tournament at Gearhart is going on that weekend. Not like I can play in it; but pro shop said there is more than enough room to get a single out there and play that weekend. I do plan on playing 36 on Saturday the 18th. Assuming a number of you are members and playing that weekend. Would be cool to hangout and watch the matches and what not. I was travelling to the event in Duluth; but had to bow out for medical reasons… looking to change course and still doing something; but out here in the West where things are more familiar.
Here is my tentative schedule for the trip if anyone is at all interested. No stress of course; I’m very used to rolling solo and making friends with whomever I meet. My credentials: a 16 handicap that is one step away from shooting 80… or going over the top to shoot a 99; but always friendly and supportive of yours and my journey. Director of Sales for a brewery. 10 years of experience in College Athletics. Playing blades all day every day.

May just relax at the ocean and get lost. Watch the Men’s championships; putt around. We’ll see.
@gaandrews I usually play every Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon, then every other Friday afternoon. Weekends have been rough with weddings and kid stuff. But should be clearing up starting in October.
Hey Oregonian friends… super selfish question. Looking to acquire gently used Bandon resort properties yardage books.
I know they’re $40 for the set on their site… but I’m trying to maximize value for Secret Santa Gifting… Things like bag tags or divot tools also appreciated. Just hoping one of you is connected in a way that’s not asking too much!
Truly appreciate any help and consideration. Happy to Venmo and mail you a pre paid mailer.
Hello all! I know I’ve kicked it around in here before but it never really materialized. As 2021 starts would the Oregon contingent be interested in getting some weekend games here and there?
I’m finally back in Eugene permanently after being fairly nomadic for most of this pandemic. I’m pretty much a have clubs will travel kind of guy so let me know!
I am interested for sure with the caveat that I have twin 6 month old’s, but with advance notice can make it at least one time a month for sure. Live in Portland.
I think it’s just a matter of circling a date on the calendar, picking a course, and grabbing a tee time or two. And then just let it rip. Maybe the first weekend of February weather permitting?
I know Langdon Farms has been discussed as a fairly central location for the folks up and down I-5.
That is a good spot if we get PDX folks wanting to play, otherwise we could look at something between Salem and Eugene for the handful of us down south.
