+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.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
