Saturday morning 7:24am - Verrado Victory ($89)

Saturday afternoon 1:24pm - Verrado Founders ($49)

(Future consideration: Its always been in Phoenix and we love it. Recently costs and heat have given us a challenge, so we flirted with the idea of doing Tucson. Slightly milder weather, probably still costly as golf has just gone in that direction nationally. Please let me know your thoughts.)

hobbit hi how are you?

Phoenix is my preference. More choice for golf, food and nightlife.

Weirfan

CallMeAl

nightlife?

Other than our dinners at White Chocolate nightlife has been load up on water and advil, lights out and bed for all by 9pm past few years

Baaab

I agree…Phoenix works for me. More choices for golf.

I'm flexible but with the US dollar costing me about 1.5x it is pretty punishing on a poor man's wallet, especially with our trip to Erin Hills and Wisconsin this summer, so might lean to Tuscon.

the heat is not an issue for me. We played in 116 degrees last year so could not be worse.

I am only 1 voice however and could keep things to just 18/day instead of the usual 36.
I do worry that Tuscon could impact participation of our Phoenix locals

did you get the spreadsheet I sent you detailing all the courses in Tuscon that one of your fellow St Louisans gave me this week ?

thanks Rick

For those younger lads and lasses....Kinda like we used to way back when. 😁

Weirfan This is exactly why my USAF friends stopped meeting in Vegas annually. No early rounds and looked for early-bird buffets.😎

I will make a concerted effort to be around more this year. I will have been at work long enough to have a bit more flexibility. I am good with the Old Pueblo or Phx, but having lived in Tucson, I am a bit more partial than most to it. I could help arrange to La Poloma if needed. Not sure I have any connections left at Tucson National, but dinner afterwards would be awesome.

hobbit Saturday - still under consideration and accepting suggestions.

For Saturday perhaps one of the following a couple good for those wanting to play 36

Boulders N and S
Troon North and Pinnacle
Gold Canyon

I played Legacy over the weekend, It's an enjoyable course with wide fairways and terrific conditions. I didn't get a chance to play Raven, the sister course. Grass Clippings is an executive course by day and a lighted par-3 18-hole at night if anyone is interested in an evening diversion. Arizona Wilderness Brewing has fantastic beer and good food.

Had to change Verrado to Saturday - got a decent price though.
