Alas, we're just heading back from our 2nd week in Palm Desert this month, and
our calendar is overflowing with other April and May commitments. It's tough
being retired. On a positive note, I shot my personal best score, 97, at the
Golf Course of La Quinta. 🏌️♀️YAY!

Society Members – greetings on a Tues evening. It would appear that Vegas
might be a little too much to swing until possibly in the fall, and I wanted
to see if there was interest in getting out to Palm Springs around 20 May
through around 23 May. It’s obviously closer than Vegas, and would give an
opportunity for some folks that have work to join us for a day or two. Can
everyone let me know their interest and availability and then I can look into
lodging and courses. I think we could probably get a reasonable house
through airbnb.
Best, Shaft

Concur with Rules….let’s go for the 100 ºF days. The only thing better than
taking off small fitting ski boots after a day of skiing is getting an ice
cold towel on a real hot golf course.

Axe and Rules are available:
8 April--not our best time.
13 May--our best time.
20 May--could be moving toward those 100 degree days.

All – We need to make some decisions relative to our annual Vegas trip.
First off the travel dates, the plan was to travel to Vegas on Sat, 18 Mar
and stay until around Wed, 22 Mar…some folks were going to join us later than
18 Mar. I have looked for rooms at the Grandview, next to Southpoint casino,
through the Armed Forces Vacation Club (AFVC), there are no rooms available,
or at least advertised until 31 Mar; as Chi Chi mentioned below that can
change. I have looked at other rooms in Vegas on Trivago for the week of 18
Mar, and you could easily throw down $120 per night for anything halfway
decent.
So what do you want to do? I know Rules mentioned to punt to next year, I
would still like to see if we can make it this year. I would suggest we
review our schedules and see what works for.
For me, the weeks of 18, 25 Mar and 1, 8 Apr, and 6, 13, 20 May. Could
everyone do the same and get back to me. I will tally what I receive and get
to everyone. For reference, the average daytime temp in Apr is 78 degrees
and the average daytime temp in May is 88 degrees. Also, for what it is
worth, single room rates at the Grandview are $350/7 nights starting on 31
Mar, and the go to 2 rooms for $350/7 nights starting on 15 Apr (yes, half
price).
For convenience, as Chi Chi stated below, those planning for an 18 Mar start
were Knockdown, Shaft, OB, DoCho, Rules, Divot, and
Bagger.
Arriving late were sHank and Trek
Those not able to join were Axe, Skully, Ace, and Chi Chi, Bounceback.

Subject: [sogagg] Vegas Survey Update #2
Bonjour Mon Amis
Sorry for the delay ...
I wanted to pass along the latest update on the Vegas survey. There are no 1
or 2 bedrooms available at the Grandview for the week beginning Mar 18th or
any other time in March as of today. Of course inventory is always changing
and maybe something will come up. There are 1 bedroom units available from
Mar 24-31 for a cost of $349.
Due to a recent change in my vision, I am scheduled for eye surgery sometime
in Mid March so I am going to take a pass on attending this time. I'll be
happy to help out whoever decides to take the lead for making the necessary
advance arrangements.
Here is what I believe is the latest tally of who is going and who is not:
YEA 8
Knockdown
Shaft
OB
DoCho
Rules
Ace
Divot
Bagger (plans to use his timeshare and will schedule arrival based on dates
and courses.)
LATE ARRIVAL 2
sHank
Trek (plans to drive over for a round of golf sometime that week and an
evening with the group)
NAY 3
Axe
Sully
Chi Chi
NO RESPONSE
Bounceback
