Presumably, right?
Oasis canyon? You mean Coral Canyon?
It's really, really nice but it is genuinely gimmicky. I wouldn't put it top 3. Honestly Conestoga is almost as nice and Sand Hollow and Coral Canyon are up there too for the area.
You definitely should. I've done several like 4-day guys' golf trips there. Wolf is probably the best solely for the views, but there's surprisingly very good golf in the area - especially if you're willing to drive the 45 mins to Coyote Springs (middle of nowhere course on way back to Vegas) or to the Hurricane Utah area courses (Sand Hollow, Coral Canyon, etc.).
I’m in the exact same boat. I’ve taken comfort in the fact that I very rarely blow up on a hole or a round. My misses are not big usually. I keep in play and am long enough off the tee. When I’m going lower in the 70’s it’s because 1) better iron play and more GIR 2) goes with #1, but the difference is usually how I do on par 3’s. They are tough at our course. 175 yard island green, another 170 ish shot uphill into a prevailing wind, etc. 3) up and downs if I miss the green 4) putting - always. 5) eliminating stupid mistakes. I had a bad round on Saturday and some of it was #5. Went for a par 5 in 2 and the only place you can’t miss is short left. Leaves you with a 25-30 yard bunker shot over another bunker to a tight pin. I went in and doubled a birdie hole. Dumb AF.
Im good for 1 or 2 90s a year now a days...... just lack of playing..... I'll usually know by the 4th hole
because everything will just be "off"
Absolutely the same here, along with whether putts are rolling. My par 3 scoring is the worst (basically my stats show that I play them at 4 scoring average where my par 5 scoring is almost below par). I assume this is because iron play is the weakest part of my game.
Speaking of top 3, I've been advised by one of my work partners that the bold should absolutely be one of the three courses I ensure I play before I die. He says the course itself > Augusta (though he puts the whole "Augusta experience" as the best).
Nice. I do Vegas plenty too! Lots of good golf there. Next time I strongly recommend: Paiute (all three courses), Bears Best, Revere (two courses); and Bali Hai (assuming you can't get on the private to crazy expensive courses).Would love to. I need more/better golf friends! We were just in vegas and played Las Vegas golf club and Desert Pines
You're going to hate this, but the correct answer is the club and shaft that best fits your swing and that is not going to be brand specific or even a particular model within a brand.
I have played all of those except Revere. Also Wynn, Cascata etc. Just so much easier to center a trip there for those that the golf is more of an afterthought.Zow said:
Nice. Wynn and Cascata are beautiful (though not certain they're worth the price tags).
All the top brands (TM, Titleist, Ping, PXG, Mizuno, Cobra/Clevland, etc.) make high quality clubs as the technology has really ballooned to the extent it can with rules restrictions.
This was me a few years ago. I switched to a center-shaft putter (and started grinding on the practice green) and saw instant results. I'm now averaging 30.14 putts.
I reiterate the fitting comment with one caveat - those guys are there to sell you clubs and make as much money as possible. They are going to try to sell you the most recent most expensive set every time.
My buddy has some Hot Metal Pros. Very solid club, likely in line with my skill set. I borrowed the 5 and 8 irons and took them to the range and hit a couple buckets with them. By the end of the session I was pretty pure but I did have to make an uncomfortable stance adjustment - something a fitter will cure quickly. Highly likely this ends up being my choice.
You won’t regret it. But of a drive if you’re staying in mesquite but it’s beautiful.
At least you didn't 3 Jack for a par.... That's the worstestI hit the greatest shot of my life yesterday.
A 510 yard hole, at about the 250 mark it starts undulating down hill. Piped my drive to top of the hill caught a nice lie on the down hill.
Then the shot…sitting about 225ish . Had to wait for the green to clear so all my buddies were now there. Was expecting the usually yank in this situation.
Hit my fairway wood pin high to about 8 feet. Since the hole is well below where I hit it from it hung for a long time, the slightest fade.
Missed the putt, left it short about one roll
i typed it without my glasses on, 5 over is the goal. i’ve shot a 79 once and 77 is the next goal. getting old and needing reading glasses sucks
1. Make sure to leave some time to play the punch bowl and do some friendly wagering (stymie maybe?).The General said:
