Talking Stick and We-Po-Pa are really good.

Would not recommend TPC Scottsdale, it's not bad but certainly not anything special.

I concur. In fact, I'd flat out avoid it.

I know it's not Arizona but several places in northern Michigan will set up a golf trip.

I live in the PHX area. I'd pick a resort and call them. Multiple resorts have multiple courses. Really comes down to budget and how many different courses you'd like to play.

There is a lot of nice Troon courses as well. Troon North, Boulders, etc ... I do not know of any agents, or "golf packages" Good lock, and I am sure you will enjoy the weather that time of year!

We send a lot of our golfing groups to stay in Old Town Scottsdale at Hotel Indigo or Hyatt House (both decent 3 star with Hyatt House more of a suites hotel with more space), and they then play Troon North, We-Ko-Pa, Grayhawk and TPC Scottsdale. This will give them the true desert golf experience along with good access to restaurants, bars and night life!

If you'd like a slightly higher standard of hotel for your trip then The Westin Kierland and Hyatt Regency are great options.

I hope that this help. Guy

    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
