+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.

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.

Sounds like typical New Mexico weather. Wait 5 minutes and it will change. Hope this weather holds out so I can get out on saturday.

      Going to a Friendsgiving tomorrow and I am bringing a no-bake cheesecake. I make the crust too big, but I think it turned out good. The filling is really good.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      I would say your back nine is the second nine you play that day. It's part of what makes getting some of those holes tougher. Or, if 18 holes are played pretty often, out of A, B, and C, and you often play A and C, A is the front and C is the back, regardless of the order you play them in. That way not birdieing C #7 isn't overcome by birdieing the easier A #7 on a day you played it C-A instead of A-C. But, at the end of the day, nobody really cares except yourself.

      @DeadMan, I think your approach makes sense. As @dennyjones said, consistency is the key.
