Golf in Palm Springs

    There are some members and sponsors who have asked about a golf outing at MOTM in Palm Springs.  After a small outing last year, several sponsors offered to underwrite or contribute to a MOTM outing.  

    If you have interest in sponsoring or playing Golf on Wednesday 2/28 in the morning before the Sage preconference session, please comment in this post.  We are looking into several potential venues and will also post additional information as it becomes available and if there is sufficient interest.

    I have looked around and found 3 resorts close by with four courses available for Wednesday 2/28 in the morning, starting between 6:10 and 8:50 AM with a goal to get people back in time for most or all of the Sage pre-session workshops.

    Escena - Close with great reviews is $155 during the 7:00-7:50 tee times and higher at other times.

    Indian Canyon - Also great reviews $155 with availability on the south course between 6:30 - 7:40 AM

    Tahquitz - Two courses - The Resort course (desert style links course) runs $124 and is currently available between 6:30 and 8:50 with the Legends course (traditional and original) for $97 between 6:10 and 6:50.

    I believe we will have enough for at least 2 foursomes if people who has expressed interest publicly or privately are ready to make a commitment.   I am willing to front the charges until the players or sponsors commit.  Anyone who knows the courses, please advise!  Those who are interested please confirm, either here or directly with me for preferences in course and time.   I am personally good with a time around 7:00 to allow for travel and a little practice as none are more than 15 minutes from Margaritaville.

    Count me in.  I haven't played any of the courses and am fine with any course.  7am tee off is great.  Thanks for the research and for fronting the greens fees @Gary Feldman.  Let me know how much I owe you.

    What is the cost if you just want to ride as part of the gallery, chit chat with the pros and knock down some AM refreshments?

    If the "friend" is you then it's free.... If a vendor doesn't pick up the tab then I will!  Please confirm and I will meet you in the lobby of the hotel at 6am.

    I am pretty sure you have an appropriate wardrobe for the course...

    I have booked the first foursome at Indian Canyons Golf Resort and have asked Doug to book the tee time right before our 7:30.   We still have one spot available for players after a couple of scheduling conflicts!

    Of the people playing (or still wanting to play) Golf, who will have a car, or will we need to Uber to the course?  I would like to get there by 7 to have a chance to hit a few balls and warm up!

    I will have a car, driving from San Diego. Truck seats 4 comfortably, but I will have room for clubs in the back as necessary! Let me know if anyone wants to carpool!

    @Hillary Heath  Thanks for the offer.  I would like a ride if you have room.

    Indian Canyons Golf Resort is less than 6 miles and 15 minutes from Margaritaville.   Lets plan  to meet in the lobby between 6:30 and 6:45 AM and carpool over or people can Uber if there is not enough car/truck space.    I know I will have my clubs and not sure who might need to rent.   I suggest we use the Socio app to stay in communication at the conference.

    Thanks Gary! Can you add all the golfers to a group chat on the Socio platform? I'm not sure who all is confirmed.

    Not all of us are in the App yet.  In addition to the two of us, we have @Doug Higgs @Thomas Johnson, Andy Reid, Mike Taylor, and Tom Miller.   @Jeff Schwenk indicated he wanted to tag along, but not even everyone is in our Community!

    My situation is fluid at the moment.  My office manager reminded me that her departure is not until 11 AM.  I thought it was a sunrise flight.
