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

    • Day 16: range night! Worked on long game for about 40 minutes, with a good solid 20 minute focus on my priority piece. Things improving there. Bookended that with some wedge and driver work. Finished up with about 30 minutes of short game. Working on distance control and all types of shots and lies. Short game is probably as good as it has ever been. 
    • You should be able to install it yourself, honestly. You could easily blow it on and use some one-sided duct tape or something so it stays in place. That's what I've done with one of my grips.
    • Day 22 (12 July 26) - worked on putting tempo today using metronome for accurate tempo. 
    • Hi all, My Edel putter seems to have developed a rattle.  I don't think it's a big deal, as I mostly hear it when I'm tapping down ball marks on greens.  However, I am debating getting it fixed, especially as I intend to play a lot of golf in August and September, and to continue playing regularly after that of course too.  My issue is I think fixing it would entail the fixer (golf shop repair station?) removing the grip and, presumably, applying a new one.  My problem is two-fold.   First, I like the grip on it, although after eleven years, maybe it's worth replacing.   The bigger (second) issue is getting the grip.  I don't like the flat-fronted putter grips anymore.  I have the round one on my putter, and I suppose I could buy one from Edel's website, but would a golf shop install a grip I bought elsewhere and brought in?  Or could they order one if Edel is not a supplier of theirs?  I don't recall ever seeing any Edel products in a Roger Dunn or PGA Superstore, although the era when I would go to a store and browse has long since ended (for better or worse).  I'd also wonder what the timetable is, as I'm leaving for a seven week trip in under three weeks. Any suggestions on what to do would be very welcome, whether about the rattle or the grip, together or independently.  Thank you!
    • I'm glad to know that picking up grass and letting it go doesn't help.  It felt like it shouldn't, but I'm glad to hear there's a good reason why.  It makes sense that wind is different higher up than it is near the surface. For a while, I was in the habit of checking the prevailing wind direction before playing.  That helped if I wasn't sure.  However, I still am not really sure whether something is a 5% wind or a 10% wind (and, of course, I know that a "helping" wind helps about half as much as the same wind hurting).   One of these days, I'll learn how to figure out what to do differently if the prevailing wind is 10mph vs 20 mph.
