I am so excited to play Paa Ko tomorrow...will be a bit windy, but should be fun. Anyone on here not from New Mexico ever played it?

Will be my first time out there, heard its a pretty difficult course, hope I dont lose too many balls!


I have played it and its a great course- Awesome bunkering and stunning visually. Not overly hard to play either! Hope it was fun!

In the bag-

Driver- Ping Anser 9.5  Diamana Ahina
3 Wood-RBZ tour 15
Hybrid-RBZ tour 4 Irons-  Ping I20s 4-GW with soft stepped X100sWedges 58 and 54 SM4s with soft stepped X100s Putter- Ping TR Senita


+1 on Paa Ko----It can be as easy or hard as you want. From the tips it can be deadly. One of my favorite courses. When you are in NM try out Black Mesa. Another awesome course.

9* Geek No Brainer with red Stiff Gallofory shaft
15* R5 3 wood with Burner shaft
21* 24* Nike CPR hybrid Aldila by you shaft
5-pw Titleist 680 cb irons-SK Fiber graphite shafts
52*, 56*,60* Reid Lockhart Dual Bounce spinner shaftScotty Cameron Newport MidSlant with Tiger Shark GripTM LDP Red balls---used because I'm...


The course is visually stunning..but can be VERY difficult. We knew it would be windy but went anyway..60mph gusts at times and we felt them. What got me was on the back the weather dipped to 36 and the snow started blowing.

We finished! I of course played horribly, but that is me just not being very good. The greens were horrible, but that is just because they were aerated and sanded recently. Why the rates were $47.50 for weekend twilight I assume.

I will go again when the weathers better and the greens are green :)

Black Mesa is next, as well as Twin Warriors..another awesome NM course.

    • Day 2 - Played a few holes on the sim, but I feel like some of the numbers were off. Going to re-calibrate and mess around some more.
    • Day 254: did a stack session.
    • I think they were going for this type: Not the type you may be thinking of.
    • Thanks for both of your inputs. I fully agree that if a course has a non-smoking policy, everyone should just respect it. I'm also sure that my team-mate will do so, there is no doubt about that. I was just interested in the official requirements or steps for having this (or any other matter about personal conduct) applied.   Just FYI: We were told by a member about this policy, we haven't seen anything about this in writing so far. I only checked their homepage, but I will be at that club on Wednesday to play a round to get to know the course, then I can ask the reception or caddy master about it. Given that it doesn't affect me personally anyway (as I don't smoke) I will probably not bother to dig any deeper than that.
    • Rule 1.2b refers you to a section in the Committee Procedures (Section 5I) that helps explain what a Code of Conduct may (and may not) do.  Defining acceptable behavior (including smoking) and applying Stroke of DQ penalties are certainly within the Committee's authority. That Code of Conduct certainly should be available, either in written form or in a webpage accessible to all.  It may not show up on the "standard local rules" for an organization, the "hard card", as it sounds like its a policy of this particular golf course. Assuming that's the case it should show up on the Notice to Players for this particular event.  If you can't find it, ask someone, send an email, try to find out.   In summary, yes the Committee can DQ (or withdraw) a Player for smoking, even before or between rounds.  But its up to you to go from there, communication is the key here.
