So my dad and I have made the 3 hour trek twice in the past like 10 years to go play an amazing resort/casino golf course up northeast of phoenix. We haven't gone in about 4 years and I forgot how long it is. Check out the tips. A 661 yard par 5. I will say though, it is high desert and with the altitude the ball definetly flies further.

Thats first hole is a monster, everything else looks kind of standard thought, maybe with the exception of the 200+ yard par three.

Course near me has the longest golf hole in the US (per Guiness Book of World Records), par 6, 841 yards. Really can't stand the course, very gimmicky. Farmer decided to develope a golf course with 27 holes. Reminds me of a putt-putt course. Has everything this side of a Windmill and Clown hole...

Smile, it makes people wonder what you're up to...

the worst part is that first hole has the largest elevation gain on the course. It is straight uphill but is quite wide and very simple (straight, 1 bunker IIRC) A true grip it and rip it hole.

There are a few courses on the RTJ trail that are over 8,000 yards total. So, either one or both of the nines would have to be longer than the original course posted. Plus, the original course only has one Par 3 on the front which can skew the yardages longer of course.

In my bag:

Driver: SQ 9.5, Graphite Stiff Shaft
3 Wood: Diablo 13 degree, Stiff Shaft
2 Hybrid: SQ 18 degree, Steel Stiff ShaftIrons: MP-30, 3-PWSW: 56* Vokey Copper spin-milledFW 52* VokeyFlat Stick Zing 2Ball: Pro V1x

International "Pines" Course. 4188 yards for a par of 37. 674 yard par 5. 715 yard par 6.

Back nine is longer and a par 36. 270 yard par 3.

Played from the "Tiger" tees.

They should have a U.S. Open there. (80.0/154). I think it's the second toughest course in America. I can't believe it isn't #1.

Each 9 is over 4000 yards from the tips. There is another course on the RTJ trail (The Shoals) that is over 8000 yards. Don't think I'll ever be playing from the tips at either place. When the shortest par 4 on the course is 454 yards, you know it's for big hitters only.

What I play:

Driver: XLS Hibore 9.5* Fit-On Red (S)
Woods: Tour XPC 16* Graffaloy ProLite (S)
Hybrid: Exotics 3HIrons: Reid Lockhart 3-SWWedge: rac 60*Putter: a crappy $20 Academy putter (but it works!)

Isn't that completely absurd? I can understand Colorado where the air is super thin, but 454 yards being the shortest par 4? I honestly think that could turn people off from even going there, it just seems like carnival golf.

Well, they also have tees at 6200, 6700, and 7300, so it's not as if there aren't options out there for the rest of us. But seriously, I couldn't realistically play that course as a par 72 from the tips. More like a par 82 for me

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
