What part of New Mexico are those courses in?

I will be there for 2 months and am looking for courses around the Angel Fire area.

They are all around Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Farmington. Basically the northwest corner of New Mexico.

Black Mesa, Pinon Hills, and UNM are the creme de la creme.

Arroyo del Oso (Bear Canyon) is a popular and respected muni in NE ABQ. In fact, a Pinnacle Exceptional Driver contest prelim will be at the Arroyo del Oso range on June 4. (Could be a reason to go or to avoid the course at that time.) Sidenote: Last year's Pinnacle long drive contest was held nearby at a practice facility in NE ABQ near I-25; a freak tailwind carried challengers' drives about 400 yards, and 2 or 3 lucky contestants won $5k each! Of course, they probably slept in the parking lot the nite before. If you head from ABQ to southern NM, then you might consider the NM Tech course in Socorro (they have a yearly "Elfigo Baca Shootout" in Socorro, where they hit balls right off the mountain West of town), Inn of the Mountain Gods at Ruidoso (6500 feet alt.), the 9-hole at the Lodge in Cloudcroft (8000 feet alt.--highest in the U.S.??), and Sonoma Ranch in Las Cruces, an innovative, water conserving, desert course, of the kind you will otherwise find in Tucson or Phoenix, nested under the jagged pinnacles of the Organ Mountains to the East of Las Cruces. If you get that far south, you may as well try El Paso -- and Juarez, just across the border. I hear Juarez has at least one excellent course and inexpensive caddies. (Remember real live caddies?) How 'bout somebody starting a thread on Mexican golf? What the heck, take a whole month or two off and see some of Arizona and Texas as well!

Hi Atlanta! I live in NM. Are you going to play Las Campanas? That's a private course so you must know someone! It's great though, as is UNM, Pinion Hills, Paako, Black Mesa. I'd pass on Malpais, last I heard it was in poor shape. Check out Isleta Pueblo GC, very long. The NM State course in Las Cruces is harder than it looks and is great to play.

Yes I know someone - my pro knows a lot of other pros from playing in the CPC. Reciprocal clubs are great. Leaving on Tuesday!

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      It sucks to carry around a lot of water, but ideally it should be way more than we think.  I buy those gallon jugs of water and hang them from my pushcart when I walk. I agree with the electrolytes as well. You don't just sweat out water, but you lose electrolytes as well.

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By WUTiger · Posted

      A 2010 study from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research compares the effects of different pre-round stretch routines for competitive golfers. Active Dynamic Warm-up: Swing Medicus driver, hit 3 shots each with selected clubs. Passive Static Stretches: Various athletic stretches such as hamstrings, chest stretch and reverse trunk twist. The subjects were collegiate golfers with a HDCP index of 5 or less who engaged regularly in strength and fitness routines. All golfers had two test days: one with active dynamic (AD) warmup, a second with AD followed by static stretches (SS). The results were then compared, within golfers and across golfers. For performance testing after the warmups, golfers hit three driver shots at time 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the warmup. The study shows that static stretch formats produced poorer performance outcomes in the four measures shown in Table 5, which shows Time Zero results. The performance deficits under the PSS protocol decreased over time. Some suggestions on why the passive protocol was tied to lower performance than the active protocol: The passive stretches routine induced excessive range of motion,  basically producing wobbles in the golf swing. Other research indicates that the stretching produced slack in the tendons, lessening the amount of muscle force that could be transferred into the shot. One caveat: The study had good scientific controls and balancing of treatments (test routines). This was, however, an exploratory study and raises as many questions as it answers. Also, although the study was done back in 2010, it is still cited as a primary work in recent reviews. A quick online search did not reveal any follow-ups on the study. For those interested, the study PDF is below. PassiveStretchGOLF.pdf

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Puerto Vallarta Vacation / Vidanta

      By Mystique · Posted

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
