Hello

I've seen a few members posting from Vegas and hope to get together some day.
I live in Summerlin and my home course is Siena; it includes the membership at Arroyo. I usually play twice a week - Wednesday and on weekends.

Please post here if you are interested in forming a local group or are looking for an extra player (I do not use Facebook).

Looking forward meeting you all.

Well, @mvmac is in Las Vegas, and obviously knows a lot of LV golfers, but also mostly plays at a TPC club, so… probably isn't exactly the type of golfer you're looking for as he's not going to play at a bunch of public courses, etc.

My in-laws live in Siena and we are there at least once a year. Would love to have someone to play with - I’ll let you know next time I’m there (likely late winter early spring). Played Bears Best and Rhodes Ranch last time I was there. Have only played Siena once.

I've blogged about my wanderings since 2003. I love roaming throughout the USA looking for remote public golf courses to play.

Chiming in here. Moved out here from chicago a few month ago and have yet to really explore more than a few courses. 
 

I’d be up for meeting other local golfers if the opportunity arises

So I’m seeing that you pretty much need to stay at an MGM hotel property in order to play Shadow Creek. I’m also seeing some options to book a hotel/golf package. I also know they strictly limit the number of players on the course. 

Does anyone know whether you have to book golf as a package or if you can book a room in any of their hotels (and shopping for the best deal), then book a tee time at the course (assuming availability given their limitations)?

Asking since, as a local, I don’t really need a hotel room and would just be getting one to get onto the course.

Pretty sure you just need your reservation (at MGM Resorts properties except luxor, excalibur, & I think nyny) number to book a round. I think winter/summer is $750 per round and fall/spring is $1000.

You can book a round without staying at the hotels. Often they have better green fee rates for local residents.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
