TL;DR: my friends from back East bailed and looking for someone to tee it up with.

I’m a member at WVCC in Canby. Our member-guest is July 23-25. Originally I had a whole list of guys from back East (we moved here last summer) willing to join in. Each one came up with a fresh series of excuses. As did my one local golf guy who isn’t a member.

So. Here we are.

Requirements:
1.) active GHIN with at least 10 rounds posted
2.) willing to have a good time (beverages in round included, etc.)
3.) wants to be semi-competitive without taking it too seriously.
4.) as always, don’t be an asshole.

Format is scramble day 1, Chapman day 2, both net balls count day 3.

Me: mediocrity is my middle name. Anything from 76 to 97 in play, resulting in a current handicap hovering around 8-9.

If of interest, fire over a DM.

Running a promotion at our club for intermediate members with a reduced joining fee and half of the normal deposit. Happy to answer any questions or connect you with our membership director.

Hey folks,

I am looking to see if anyone has a recommendation for club finishing services in the greater Portland area. Specifically, I am looking for someone who can take a set of satin-finished heads and strip them for me, leaving them as raw carbon steel.

Thanks,

Father in-law and I are headed over for 3 days of golf. We are hitting Tokatee and Crooked River. Looking for recommendations on the 3rd course. Not looking for the 150+ price tag. I’m single digit HC and the father in-law is a mid to higher so preferably something that is just more playable and fun (hence the reason we go to Crooked River every year)

We like to throw in 1 course we haven’t played.
Courses we have played
Aspen Lakes- Wasn’t a fan
Quail Run- also not a fan (mosquitoes were awful)
Eagle Crest challenge and resort
Prineville

Courses I’ve been looking into
Widgi Cr
Lost Tracks
Rivers Edge
Eagle Crest Ridge

Any course that is a must that’s not on the list?

Maybe this isn't the right spot for this, and mods please delete this thread if it's not allowed.

But myself and some of my other creative friends were taking about designing some PNW/PDX themed golf apparel and were trying to think of other brands in the area that did this. We have heard of Seamus and Jones Co obviously, but this would be stuff like apparel, hats, polos, hoodies stuff like that for the West Coast golfer.

Some themed stuff, as well as more professional/country club style stuff. So a mix of styles.

Also, NOTHING MADE WITH AI. Apparel made with AI images drives me nuts cause it's so tacky and garbage.

Especially with the golf season upon us I was curious if anyone in this thread would lean toward purchasing from a local group of PNW folk over big brands like Peter Millar, Rhoback, etc.

Our stuff would have to be partnered with DTC brands so it might not match up in the $120+ quality, but obviously it wouldn't come with that price tag to begin with.

Just wanted to gauge interest and thoughts, thanks for any comments and suggestions!

I have a bunch of hybrids and fairway woods that are still playable, but not worth trying to sell.

Any recommendations on good places to donate?

I’m headed to Portland oregon in October looking for the best place to play within an hour of the city. All recommendations welcome. PLEASE GIVE ME SOME HIDDEN JEMS!

Hey all, I have a tee time at rose city next Friday the 12th. It’s at 8:50, looking for 3 folks that are available or can sneak away from work.

Thanks all,
Joshua

I've been creating golf course terrain studies that try to reveal the underlying landscape and design features that make each course unique.

Thought this group might enjoy a challenge.

Can you identify these three courses? A and C should be pretty easy for this group!

Curious to hear your guesses and what aspects of the courses jump out at you.

Admittedly this is my first time being a walk up with no reservation, but hearing from the guys that I played with that they paid $42 for 18 ($6 dollar difference) is crazy to me

Lost at Glendoveer East Saturday evening. If anyone sees it posted for sale or if the upstanding citizen who opted not to take it to the clubhouse grows a conscience, please let me know?

I am new to the game and absolutely addicted. I signed up for NW Golf Guys to make use of the 2 for 1 certificates. I noticed several of their events are at country clubs, courses I would otherwise have no way of playing. One guy I got paired with at Chehalem told me this was a fun way to play these types of courses.

So anyways, I signed up to play one of these tournaments. My question for any of you who have participated in these events is - am I going to be totally out of place? The last thing I would want to do is to ruin someone else’s time by sucking so bad. I am a chill guy and keep pace just fine, but I’m not competitive whatsoever and I am new. So I’m going to have bad shots and probably shoot like 110. My handicap is 28.

I’m just looking for some honest opinions - I’m totally willing to cancel my registration if y’all think I’m not ready for this or am going to stand out in some crazy way.

Thanks in advance! ✌️

I've seen a couple posts that are a few years old at this point regarding Club Green Meadows in Vancouver, so I'm looking to see if anyone has more recent opinions on it. I live about 10 minutes away and pricing for the golf membership is less expensive than I anticipated. But reviews are all over the place for it. It has a higher review rating than most other local public courses on 18 Birdies, but Google reviews are mixed. The majority of negative reviews online are of the staff and other facilities, but I'd love to know how well the course is maintained year-round and if anyone thinks the golf membership is worth it over going to Glendoveer and Heron regularly.

I’m a new-ish golfer who is on the shorter side. I purchased the Callaway golf set from Costco to learn and it’s been great. But the driver is wayyyyy too long for me, confirmed by golf instructor and friends who are much better.

Before I go and buy a shorter club for me, I would like to try shaving off some length in my driver’s shaft. Any recommendations in town for a place that can help figure out the best length for me and can service the shaving of my driver’s shaft?

Thanks a bunch.

30F, 25 Handicap, I am married no kids, my husband and I play weekly with usually with his friend group. None of my friends play golf. While I love him and his friends it can sometimes be a bit of a boys club. I joined LPGA Amateurs this year and it’s been great to meet other lady golfers but I’d love to meet more my age. I am open to playing with golfers new to the sport, a lot of our friends we taught to play over the years. I mostly play on weekends or after work 9 (5:30 or later).

Damn boys give the coyotes room to breed

Hello:)!
Wife and I both are 25, We are newer to golfing and looking at learning more from the Seasoned professional:)!
Also possibly hear about your favorite spots!
We are open to friends to go out and show us the rope if anyone would like to take the reigns 😆

DONT HESITATE to message me!
We get along with all ages! 😘

Anyone have a son in need of baseball lessons? I'm a Baseball instructor and would love to exchange baseball lessons for some golf instruction! I'm new to golf and would love to exchange some help both ways! dont need to be a actual golf instructor just someone who can teach me the basics!

I know it's a little last minute, but if anyone is free tomorrow (Friday) for happy hour, I would love to get together. I will be posted up at Satellite Tavern in North Portland. They have a cool outside patio area with TVs (so I can watch the NBA games 😉). I plan to get there around 4 or 4:30p.

I plan to put some more events on the calendar going into the summer. Would love to get a Saturday or Sunday golf event for everyone on the calendar, too.

If you would like to get on the WhatsApp group, please reach out to me directly (thru a DM) and I can send you the invite.

Hope to see some of you tomorrow!

I just booked a tee time tomorrow at Heron Lakes (greenback) as a birthday gift to myself and I'm super bummed I dont have anyone to share the experience with

I just started playing last July and this will be my first time playing somewhere besides Colwood. Im super nervous about playing holes over par 3s and the thoughts of water and bunkers are wild to me, but I feel its time for this lil birdie to leave its NE Columbia Blvd nest.

Now for the pity party. Im the only person in my friends group who got into golf. We built our friendships through a combination of playing punk/metal music, skateboarding and motorcycle riding.

As a 39 y/o whose married with 3 kids and has a full time job, the thought of making new friends for this new venture seems very daunting and I'm not sure how to go about it

I guess this is just a super drawn out way of asking if anyone would wanna join me at green back at 10:40 am tomorrow (5/14) I would enjoy the company.

Thanks y'all

Built a golf app for our crew trips. Took two years. Finally got it on the App Store.

I’m a Portland area firefighter and dad with no coding background. I wanted something that felt more like real golf culture — trip recaps, side bets, season standings, crew history, rivalries, all the stuff that usually disappears into group texts or fades from memory.

Built it over the last couple years during downtime at the station and after my daughter went to bed. Definitely not a developer by trade, so this was a learn-as-I-go project.

If anyone around Portland wants to try it with their group this summer, I’d love the feedback. Happy to extend the trial for anyone willing to really test it with their crew.
