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!

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!

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
