Im heading out to Phoenix and will have the opportunity to play 2 days.

Being a lefty, I would like to get over to Phil's place and play GrayHawk. Which two courses should I defintely play? Im not too worried about the cost, since this is my first time out there and I think they should have some good summer rates...

Just got back this Spring from Scottsdale. I would reco in order:

1. Gold Canyon - Dinosaur Course. Spectacular views through the foothills.
2. Greyhawk - Raptor. Flat course. Huge bunkers, huge greens. Great condition.
3. Troon North - Monument. Spectacular views, but crowded by homes on both sides of fairway which makes it uncomfortable to play.
4. Phoenician - Very scenic.
5. Sun ridge canyon.

What's in my bag:

Driver: Tour Burner 9.5
Fairway: Comp 15* Aldila NVS
Hybrids: 19* & 22*Irons: CG2 4-PWWedges: CG12 52*, 56*Putter: Studio Design Newport 1.5Ball: One BlackBag: GPS: SG3

Just called and I guess they're getting the greens ready for summer with some tye of overseeding on Raptor. Should I play Talon, is it a good course too?

This is the time of year for aerification of the greens. You should definitely call any course you are planning to play to check the schedule.

The Talon course is not a must play IMHO. Must play on a visit to Phoenix is We-Ko-Pa Saguaro. Their website shows they won't aerify until July 7 (but I would call anyway). Some other recommendations: Vista Verde Talking Stick North Sunridge Canyon Raven @ Verrado (NOT Raven @ S. Mountain) Troon North Enjoy!

Thanks! I will change my Talon tee time to We-Ko-Pa Saguaro!

Wanted to give you an update on the courses I played in the Phoenix area...

Played We-Ko-Pa and really liked it. Great Layout!

Also played Octillio in Chandler because it was close to where I was working and the only way to get in 18 at 4pm. Not a bad course, but didnt really knock my socks off.

Troon North was awesome! I played both courses; Monument and Pinnacle.
I have a hard time picking out which one is better. I played the GOLD tees on both courses which played around 6750yds. Shot 80 on Pinnacle and 73 on Monument! They have a deal for 36 holes and a NEW free Odyssey White Hot XG7 putter for $150.00!

Finally, I never played Gray Hawk and here's why: I called and asked if I could get out between 3:30-4pm and was told I could, but at 7pm someone would come out and make everyone come in and close the course. Needless to say, I said thanks, but NO thanks!

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
