HOT in May? Please!! I played 36 per day for 3 days straight, and then 18 on the fourth in AUGUST. Guaranteed 100-110+ every day. Worst part was after the sun went down, it was sill 90+. We would drink gallons of water and Gatorade and never have to stop for a bathroom. A nice cold beer after the rounds at dinner would hit you nice and quick. One benefit was that you don't feel tight and cold when you tee off in the mornings.

Trying to remember which I liked best, but if I recall the newer course certainly had some memorable holes. I specifically remember a par 3 on the back 9 that had a grandstand starting to get set-up for an even they were going to have in October I believe? Nice water on the left and front of the green, bunker back right. For Boulders, the newer course felt much more fresh to me. More yardage markers, better irrigation, and some very pretty holes. Hole #1 is a nice treat that you have the thread your drive in a fade for a clear second shot.

I just switched my irons and hybrid over to Golf Pride Players Softie. We'll see how they go. Might take a trip to the store to feel those new Decade's that you all talk about.

We-Ko-Pa. Both courses are fantastic....and in better shape than other places I played. Don't know if it's due to less water restrictions on Indian Reservations? I played the Saguaro course in April of '07 and it was immaculate and beautiful. Played Cholla in August of 07 as well and was stunned by how green and well kept everything was. While in Scottsdale in August I played Troon, Boulders, Raven S. Mountain, Grayhawk (Raptor & Talon,) and We-Ko-Pa. Of all those I would say We-Ko-Pa, and so would the other 7 people in our outing.

Just purchased Players softie. First time re-gripping clubs myself. Wish me luck. I'm sure now that I'm learning I'll be trying out lots of grips in years to come. Still debating whether to use the air compressor method or traditional solvent.
