3rd Annual San Jose Classic

[andrewgoodman]

Once again, random golfers are welcomed to take some time out from SES San Jose (only if you have a permission slip) and join the organizers of this informal golf outing -- Chris Boggs, Andrew Goodman, John Krystynak -- for 18 holes of rather mellow semi-sporting activity.

We have two tee times booked (early, before 9 a.m.) on Tuesday, Aug. 21 (Day 2 of the conference). If interested, contact one of us by Aug. 14, please.

The course will be Sinnabar Hills, 25 minutes from downtown SJ.

Skill level: If you get really upset at bad shots, maybe you should just forget about it. Otherwise, a handicap of 45 or better is recommended. OK, OK, maybe to be safe we should say 25. Sponsor: Microsoft is paying for all the beer. Veracity of previous statement: limited to none. Club rental: apparently available, phone number available on request. Cost: green fee is under $65.

How many players total... and really 25.... I would hope to break 100 but has been a long time between rounds... I could drive the beer cart!!!

[Chris Boggs]

ausiie I really hope to see you out there. I plan on breaking 90...sans cheating.

[AussieWebmaster]

count me in.... I will pick up balls if I fall behind... or just come for the walk

[rustybrick]

I seriously need to pick up golf.

[Chris Boggs]

lol we don't walk that would be too "excercisey"

[evilgreenmonkey]

Golf clubs don't like me, I tend to add extra bunkers to the green :)

I think my handicap is 25 hours.

[storyspinner]

I've got a ton of golf balls here I could donate to your cause ... hehehe

I live right next to a golf course (my apt overlooks hole 18) and for some reason I have this HUGE bag of golf balls.... ok ok, I find them when I walk my dog and scarf 'em right up :)

This gal doesn't golf though... now if it was bowling, then we could talk. *idly wonders if league bowling team handicaps would transfer to golfing*

[ThomasB]

I'll sponsor 3 balls per player. ;) Downside, my company logo is on them. Due to my HCP of 37 I won't participate this year I guess.

nein thomas, you will play again! if not tuesday maybe a casual round thursday afternoon...

[sportsguy]

CRAP! CRAP! CRAP! I kicked Chris's butt at pool in NY back in April (or he kicked mine, can't really recall...)- this would have been an excellent addition to my list of accomplishments - or failures!

Sorry I'm missing it... :(

[Chris Boggs]

umm duanne I wiped beer off the edge of the pool table with your puny Canadian body, as I was destroying you. :p

[ThomasB]

Ok, I'll bring balls and would be in for an afternoon round on thursday. :)

[critter]

Is there still room for one more?

Im the guy last year who was supposed to pay and got a kidney stone the night before...

If you got room I would play!

Critter

[Chris Boggs]

Hey Critter come on down! We will fill up the third tee time I am thinking, and you are the first of the last four. :) We are going to randomize the groups when we start, and if we need a couple threesomes and a four, so be it.

Anyone else that wants to play Thursday afternoon please let us know as well!

Chris, is the Golf Thursday afternoon or Tuesday morning?

Critter

[critter]

I was actually hoping to play in the Tuesday morning group as I have a Thursday afternoon meeting?

If it helps im a 8 HDC

:-)

[merrick_lozano]

Chris, if there is a third tee time, I would like to join. My handicap was never lower than 18 when I played more often, but I enjoy hitting the ball when I can.

Let me know so I can fly in the night before instead of that morning, also I believe the course is Cinnabar Hills dot com right?

[RossDunn]

Hey have you got room for an extra candidate? I too will pick up my ball if I have too... not so sure about my handicap ;-) Some days I can hit and some days... well I won't talk about it.

I am heading outta here. I will check this later or you can drop me a note at rossco@stepforth.com. I hope I am in under the wire. Otherwise perhaps I can organize a group of stragglers that also missed the wire? Cheers, Ross

[danielos4ever]

Hey you golfers I work for the company that does the Medicus Dual Hinged Driver, it helps with train you to correctly swing your golf club, anyone interested to try it out I can probably bring one last minute.

[merrick_lozano]

Anyone know if that third tee time was booked / or filled up? I am flying in tonight just curious if I should head out to the course tomorrow morning?

[RossDunn]

I am still waiting to hear as well. I am going to try to hunt down Goodman or Boggs to relate my interest in person. Gotta get some golf frustration into this trip ;-) Anyway, off to the show.

Come to think of it, if someone gets this and can get a hold of me at the Hilton that would be great. Number: 408-287-2100 and ask for Ross Dunn. Cheers

[davidmihm]

Hey, I just remembered / found out about this event again today. If there is still room tomorrow, I'd love to play. davidmihm@gmail.com or 510 459 9052. I'm happy to take an early morning wakeup call to play if there is space for one more!!

[Chris Boggs]

hey all...Ross made it. We will likely play Thursday afternoon somewhere if everyone wants to let us know here or via IM. I had problems getting my updates on this thread because I forgot to update my information with my new email. I will keep track this time...

sorry to those that we didn't get back to... we ended up 1 person short.

it was a BEAUTIFUL course that I highly recommend. Although it is links style, I am proud to say I used the same ball for just over 100 straight strokes. the greens were VERY fast. amazing driving holes though and if you keep it straight - and can putt at Augusta - you can probably do well like the other group did.

[davidmihm]

Chris, I really enjoyed yesterday's round & would definitely be up for another tomorrow afternoon. Where is the venue going to be this time?

[Chris Boggs]

we didn't go Thursday. Recovery time... :)

[AussieWebmaster]

we didn't go Thursday. Recovery time... :)

what time did you get up Thursday?

[davidmihm]

That's cool, I needed the time also!! Btw, I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation on Social Media!
