@Golf Funatics It was 100% baseball until Freshman year of college. I always played golf as a hobby with my dad and gramps, but baseball was my childhood passion. Picked up golf competitively when I transferred back to community college, and ended up playing on the team for 1 season before focusing on school full time. So I guess the answer is...kinda? 😂
Thanks for posting this video, I've always wanted to see the course under normal conditions. As opposed to what I see on TV during the LPGA tournament. That was a fantastic shot into 9 green
Great front 9! Love the view from the tee box on the 5th hole. Geez hole 7 is a monster! Long and tight. The approach shot will get those nerves tingling. Nice video!
I've just seen the overhead of the course at the start. I played a course like that in Thailand and on every tee box the caddie announced OB left, OB right. By the 7th I had trained her to tell me the best line and what to aim at from the tee. It's complex as for me to lose a golf ball is loss of face for her and she doesn't know if I'm a person who gets angry if I lose a ball. We had a good laugh about it on every tee. Another fun day in Thailand.
I completely agree! "Easy" is a relative statement, and comparatively, this is certainly a tame Pete Dye design. Great for resort guests traveling to the desert!
@Golf Funatics Between 100-110° isn’t terrible when out in the desert...but otherwise, 🤮. I also played this last weekend, but local....it was 107° when we finished and it was horrible!
If I had to pick just 1, I’d go with the Gary Player! This Pete Dye course is very gettable and fun, but the Player course is just a little more forgiving all around.
