339: Recapping our Arizona Golf Adventures
There's something almost magical about hitting the road with good friends and discovering unexpected golf treasures along the way. Our recent Arizona golf adventure delivered exactly that kind of experience – from world-class courses to surprisingly delicious roadside burritos, and everything in between.
The journey began at 2nd Swing Golf in Scottsdale, where we encountered a scene that would warm any golf enthusiast's heart: dozens of people waiting outside before opening time, eager to explore the incredible selection inside. Once through the doors, we discovered a wonderland of golf equipment – private fitting bays, an expansive putting green with PuttView technology, walls lined with every imaginable brand of used clubs, and even rare Scotty Cameron collections that had us geeking out completely.
But the real highlight was playing We-ko-pa's Cholla course, where the conditions defied belief. Despite having been punched just two weeks prior, the Bermuda greens were flawless – a testament to the incredible maintenance team. The course layout perfectly utilized the natural elevation changes, creating a dynamic playing experience that had us all agreeing this might have been the best golf of our trip. Special shoutout to Todd in outside services, whose exceptional attention to detail elevated our experience from great to unforgettable.
Our stay in Payson at the Mansion on Main provided the perfect basecamp for exploring private courses, Chaparral Pines and The Rim Club – exclusive venues we accessed through the Beautiful Golf Courses and Fore Hadley Foundation fundraiser. These courses sparked friendly debates among us about routing, scenery, and playability, with The Rim's dramatic "hold my beer" back nine featuring some truly spectacular holes. We're already planning how to bid in this year's fundraiser to discover more hidden gems.
The trip reminded us why these getaways matter so much – they're not just about the golf, but about disconnecting from daily responsibilities and reconnecting with what makes this game special. As we told each other repeatedly throughout the episode, if you haven't take
An indoor Trackman Lounge in the south end of the valley featuring four bays, a snack bar, and beer!

What is up, everybody, Welcome, welcome, welcome to another episode of the Chasing Daylight Podcast. We had ourself a little road trip and we're back.
Speaker 1:Time was had, time was had. We made it back safe and sound, and so we're here to talk about it. So, yeah, we'll be chatting about our road trip down to Arizona. A whole bunch of shit went on, had a blast. It was fantastic. Joe, your mic's on mute, just in case you didn't know that.
Speaker 1:Okay, I do want to say thank you to Bernard Garson for coming on the show. That interview was absolutely fantastic. If I do have to say so myself myself, I've been a fan of his work for a very long time. Uh, joe's rocking his putter grip. I put a garson back on today after talking with him because I I believe what he's doing is right and uh, yeah. So I did a little tinkering with it to get it to exactly how I want it and I'm pretty happy with it. Been rolling a lot of putts out there today. So if you did not check that out, it's the last episode we just had. It is available on all the podcast formats. It's also out there on YouTube, the video, so you can watch that if you want to. It was a great interview, learned a ton about him that I did not know, and you're probably going to be hearing a lot more about Garson on this show. We're talking with them, working out some agreements to have them, you know, run some ad spots and be kind of a supporter, sponsor of the show in a way that we can bring some information to you guys about the grips. Maybe do some giveaways, offer you some discount codes, things like that. So pay attention to that.
Speaker 1:Also want to thank, of course, the golf stop, the indoor track man range down on St Rose and here in here in West Henderson, a great facility to go practice right now, especially since it's so damn hot outside. I was putting out back and I was like this is stupid, blazing hot, blazing hot. So go get yourself some indoor practice, great place to hang out and play some track band games or work on your game. And then, of course, las Vegas Gala Soup Store and Roars Our friends.
Speaker 2:Our friends.
Speaker 1:How are you guys doing this evening? Are you all back to normal Kind?
Speaker 3:of Yep all back to normal. Kind of Yep Back to normal Already hit the range this morning.
Speaker 4:Very much back to normal, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know, I was wiped for some reason. I don't know if it was just sitting that long. You know, driving back and then not doing anything.
Speaker 5:I just crashed hard.
Speaker 1:Crashed hard to get a night. I'm glad we did not do the show last night, because it would not have been a good show. In other news, thanks to Gosh, I can see his portfolio, his name. He gave me some tips last week on um running, uh, giveaways using stream song or stream yard or software. So, uh, right now in the background we have something running that is collecting all the comments. So if you're watching the show and you're commenting, uh, if you chime in and you participate, we'll be doing this for a couple weeks to test it out to see how it does. We'll randomly be selecting somebody that was participating in the show and we'll be giving away stuff Still trying to figure out exactly what it is we'll be giving away, but it will be beneficial for you to engage with us in the show. So please do so, and I think that's all I got going on as far as getting shit out the way, do you guys want to start with Dennis Riccio?
Speaker 5:Dennis Riccio. I don't know if they're ready for that yet. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1:So we were staying at the mansion on main in payson and um, it didn't have the best entertainment. As far as television, it was a really really weird tv subscription that it wasn't like live tv but it it was TV. There was like a boxing channel, there was a PGA channel, there was a pickleball channel. Hey, quinn, say hi.
Speaker 5:Hi Hi Quinn.
Speaker 4:Can you say golf, golf?
Speaker 1:Go Really really weird TV, though, and we couldn't find anything to watch and you had to log into your netflix account, so we said the hell with that, and so we started just watching youtube videos and stumbled across dennis riccio and, uh, I let me bring up just just so, uh, everybody here can see what is this is all about. Uh, so here's our guy here. Oh, yes, yeah, so uh, I, I stopped it at my favorite part to this, this smile on the approach shot to clear that bunker uh, the audio doesn't play through, but this guy, welcome to hole number two.
Speaker 5:Short game legend for sure, minutes from four feet.
Speaker 4:Best four foot putter in the world.
Speaker 1:He was 18 For 18 from four feet.
Speaker 2:While doing this. I'm Dennis Riccio. Welcome to hole number three. Friendly Glenn, you may be tempted to cut the corner On this dog leg left. I'm Dennis Riccio. Welcome to hole number three. Friendly Glenn, you may be tempted to cut the corner on this dogleg left par four, but beware of the bunkers on the left.
Speaker 1:It's hilarious, it's content gold, Although there is plenty of fairway past them the safer play is to the right where the fairway slopes to the south. I wish I had the audio because right here at this time, Make sure to take an extra club to clear the ravine, to separate the tee and green and to conquer the slide uphill slope. If you're hitting into the wind, you may need to hit even harder. A large green makes even a slight guarantee shot.
Speaker 5:I can hear the audio. Oh, you can. Yeah, it hits the plane. He just said it too.
Speaker 1:Oh, let me put it back, I'm Dennis.
Speaker 2:Riccio and to conquer the slight uphill slope. If you're hitting into the wind, you may need to hit even harder.
Speaker 5:A large green makes even a slightly errant tee shot playable.
Speaker 2:I'm Dennis Riccio.
Speaker 1:Welcome to hole number four yeah, so uh, yeah, I'll put a link down into that. So, uh, you can, can, can watch uh, Dennis Riccio, Cause it, it, it was entertaining, the dude couldn't miss, uh could not miss. And man, it was hilarious.
Speaker 3:So but great course tour.
Speaker 1:But man, the video does not do that either course justice, no crazy how different it looked I had a couple problems with a few of the holes, trying to remember them, um, I think what I think once you get to the fifth and sixth hole, all the holes on the rim are pretty rememberable or memorable. But the two, three and four were kind of I don't know. I kind of got lost in them. I don't know if it was the heat, the no food or the frustrations with the course or what Just wasn't into it. But yeah, it took a little while for me.
Speaker 1:But let's start from the beginning. Let's go back a day before that. Um, we drove down to scottsdale, which super easy drive from vegas, it's four and a half hours. Um, there wasn't a lot of traffic, it was a sunday morning and, uh, we, no issues, no issues getting down there, uh. But we decided to stop in at second swing golf before we headed over to wikipa and dan myself and jeremy had never been there, joe had, and he was telling us about it and everything he said was true. And then some, that is an amazing facility. Yes, it is.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this is insane I couldn't believe how much golf was in there the, the private fitting bays, the putting bays, the regular bays, the huge putting green with the putt view from above so you can see the line, use putters for miles that you can test. Um, they had. Oh, I found the. We went back, that'll, that'll be told later. But we went back and I found all the shafts which I was just like, oh man, I should have been over here for a long time looking at the shafts, um, but they have a scotty cameron collection.
Speaker 4:They've got a paint collection I think one of the craziest things, though, before we even get into like the shop, is you pull up on a sunday, they open at 11 and there is 20 cars out there and 40 people waiting to get in before they even open like. I have never seen that at a golf shop in my entire life people waiting to get into the store and yeah, a lot, not like a lot, not like joe golfer dude it was a lot of people.
Speaker 1:Black friday-esque yeah exactly, exactly.
Speaker 4:It was great happens.
Speaker 3:They were saying that it's like that every Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 1:Yep, yep. So we saw the my Girl collection. They had every my Girl Scotty Cameron ever has put out in a case with all their head covers. That was awesome to see. Bunch of circle Ts.
Speaker 3:He might have been there, he's in line, he might have been there in line.
Speaker 1:Uh so uh, jordy knows, jordan knows and then then in the back and the the back is where it is, that's, I mean just wall and wall and wall after wall of used clubs, putters, drivers, fairy woods, hybrids, irons, wedges, single iron sets, anything you can think of anything every brand every brand.
Speaker 1:I mean we saw jp wedges, edison wedges, uh, all the main brands, of course, but it was, it was impressive, absolutely impressive. And then there's a workshop in the back and that's where lamont man is set up mancrafted, if anybody is familiar with him. I've been a fan of lamont's work for years and he wasn't there on sunday, um, so when we left and then went to go play week about, we decided I think we're going to come back here before we go back to Vegas. So that was the plan. And so after we played all the golf, we went back and then I got to meet Lamont and went in, shook his hand, chatted him up for a while, which was amazing, just a legend in the putting world. It was a blast to see him. So that was a thrill for me. It was so, so damn cool to see his work and him doing it. It was, it was pretty damn cool.
Speaker 1:So, but, uh, then we went to uh, weekopaw after that and played some golf and we were chatting in the car after everything and I think for the most part everybody agreed that week of Paul was pretty special. So I originally had Chaparral Pines is my favorite, but as I've been pondering it over the last couple of days, I think one of the reasons I in a car didn't rate week opah better was because familiar with that type of golf, because we play piute a lot and so I was going through the videos jeremy sent me and I was like why did jeremy send me pictures from piute?
Speaker 4:like when did I play jeremy?
Speaker 1:I was like, oh, that's week opah yeah, but I was like I go, you know I it's my favorite place to play golf here in town, you know, piute, and because the conditions are amazing and I was like so then I started thinking again and looking through back through some of the photos and I'm like you know that that probably is the the best golf that we played. Um doesn't have the crazy scenic views, but the golf was.
Speaker 4:The golf was tremendous, tremendous yeah, so I feel the same way yeah, conditions were amazing impeccable, impeccable conditions the.
Speaker 1:You know, uh, dan kind of threw down the the. The line in the sand said we can only talk about the golf, we can't rate anything else. But I'm breaking script. I thought the pro shop was fantastic, the outside services was fantastic.
Speaker 4:Shout out Todd. Shout out Todd. That's the man Outside services a week of pause. Shout out Todd.
Speaker 2:That's the man dude, incredible Todd you're the man dude.
Speaker 4:Incredible. Todd, you're the man you better be listening. I hope you're listening. He said he was going to.
Speaker 1:I'm going to get framed and it will be up here on the wall shortly. The signage on the course. You never didn't know where to go. Everything was clearly marked. They had these little rest stop grills and water stations. It was a very, very well done golf course, from the moment you pulled up until the moment you left. A lot of great selection. This is one of the hats that I got. I was impressed from the moment we got there to the moment we left.
Speaker 4:End to end, incredible golf experience Pro shop practice facility, two courses, casino, outside services. Todd was fantastic. Water turn shack, impeccable conditions, well-designed course. Uh would. You can go there again and again and again and still learn new things. A lot of blind t-shots, but you know, you learn it. It was, it was amazing amazing.
Speaker 1:There was some great elevation changes. Like, piu doesn't have a ton of elevation changes, yeah, yeah, but this had you're, you're, you're up on a mesa and then you're down in a canyon, then you're back up on a mesa and then you're down in a canyon, then you're it was. It was really well done. They really used the land great and, uh, I had a phenomenal putting day out there.
Speaker 2:Whatever?
Speaker 1:whatever it is, was that Bermuda greens? Was that what they were?
Speaker 5:Yes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean I, I couldn't miss.
Speaker 3:The crazy thing is they punched the greens two weeks ago. They closed the course for two weeks. There's no play. They do it and then they let it recover. You would never even know they were punched, never even could have told.
Speaker 1:I wouldn't have believed you if you told me no, they didn't. I mean it was so good, the fairways were lush. I mean the bunkers were outstanding, the tee boxes were great.
Speaker 4:My only problem with Week of Paw Go ahead they didn't have chapstick. It was way too fucking hot, it was hot. We started at 12.30 was our tea time.
Speaker 1:It was too hot, it was hot Thank God there was a little bit of.
Speaker 5:Just to clarify anybody listening, that was the Cholla course we played. They have two courses there we played the Cholla.
Speaker 4:Yeah, and I've wanted to play Saguaro for so long and we played cholla because saguaro was closed and I thought I was going to be pretty bummed because saguaro is corcoran shop, but man did cholla, um cholla. Really I feel like I'm probably gonna like cholla more than saguaro. Like I feel like that's gonna happen when I get the opportunity to play Saguaro.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 4:Because I enjoyed Cholla that much.
Speaker 1:Dan will be back there in October, so he's going to play it and he'll let us know.
Speaker 4:As incredible as Cork Crenshaw is. I have a hard time with Cork Crenshaw Because I know it's way flatter on the other side, making a better course than Cholla. So I got to get back and play Seguara but Cholla blew me away.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you weren't the only one that blew away.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Also an incredible finisher.
Speaker 4:A great opener, an incredible finisher.
Speaker 1:what a way to start and end your round. Let me bring up I got a picture of that last hole. Let me, uh, let me find it real quick. Are you gonna be slacking like something? It's such a such a good closing hole. Okay, it doesn't want to work, all right. Oh, here we go. All right, hang on like those week apart oh, you got pictures, you got pictures yeah, I got a pictures. I got a picture. I got a picture of the closing hole.
Speaker 4:It's thinking During golden hour.
Speaker 1:Look at that. I mean it's absolutely stunning. Stunner of a hole.

Speaker 2:Matt's in the bottom.
Speaker 4:Matt's bottom square Welcome to bottom square.

Speaker 1:Oh yeah, thank you very much. Oh, my goodness, so that was all, dan, that was all sorry, almost god. Holy shit, I can't believe I almost did that.
Speaker 1:uh, as some of you may have seen, we've been sharing greenly green house 13 a uh, I've been sharing some photos, uh, that were taken taken by a new friend of ours, ethan from Golden Hour Photography, golden Hour Golf. He has just started this business adventure where he is taking photos of people on group trips, and Dan and I were at the Raiders practice and I was just scrolling on Instagram waiting before the practice started. Yeah, and his account popped up and wait hang on jeremy travis matthew.
Speaker 5:What?
Speaker 1:jeremy shut up, shut up and his account popped up and I was like, oh, I don't know, he's in arizona and so I sent him a message. I'm like, hey, you know, you want want to come out and take some photos first. He's like, yeah, absolutely so great guy, him. And Joe hit it off because he's into hip hop, like Joe was. But he followed us around for the front nine and took photos and I've been sharing some of them on my page and on the Chasing Daylight page. But it sharing some of them on my page and on the chasing daylight page but uh, it was awesome to have you know.
Speaker 1:I said in the post today it was nice to not have to worry about taking pictures and having somebody there to take pictures for you, because we were able to, you know, focus on the golf and not have to worry about, oh, did we get this shot? Or to get that shot, and so it was great. Uh, does, does great work. Uh, so you know, again, that'll be something that's tagged in the show notes where you can reach out to him and uh, definitely, awesome, definitely.
Speaker 4:Like that's the first time, like I had that for like a group experience and I know there's a lot of people out there that do it, you know, like document your buddy's trip while you're playing golf on your golf trip. And uh no, he was, was a great dude, great dude and he's like don't worry about me, I'm a ninja and dude, he was spectacular, spectacular. Shut up Golden Hour Golf Co, I mean, and the pictures we've seen so far are fantastic.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he did some good.
Speaker 4:And he's a golfer. You can tell he's an actual golfer. He's not just trying to take capitalize on the boom of golf. He's a golfer. He was telling us where to hit it and things like that, and like I felt like he was a friend that was there to take pictures of his other friends playing golf and 100 totally totally worth it yeah, absolutely so, uh, yeah again, I'll tag him in the show notes.
Speaker 1:So then, after we got done at Weak Paw, we headed north up to Payson. It's an hour 15, hour 20 from where we were right Is that what it was 49, 50 minutes, 59, 56.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it was 54.
Speaker 4:Oh yeah, from.
Speaker 1:Weak Paw. It was a little closer.

Speaker 1:Bob, from the week apart, was a little closer. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, half half hour for bob. Yeah, yeah, bob would be there in 25 minutes. Um, payson, small little, small little town. Uh, we tripped out because there was elk in the almost in the parking lot at the safeway where we stopped. Um, something you know, you don't see around here. Uh, elk walking around the street. They were gnawing on some grass on the side of the intersection. And big too, big elk, not little elk, big boys, big ol' boys, big ol' boys, big boys.
Speaker 1:We checked into our mansion, the mansion on Main. Shout out, dan, for finding that spot really cool place. I don't know if I'd call it a mansion, but maybe in the payson landscape it was a mansion yeah yeah uh, but uh, really cool spot, uh it was. It was great big kitchen, big outdoor patio with outdoor kitchen. Had a pickleball court, which I have known. I'd have brought the pickleball stuff, but I don't think we would have played. Anyways, yeah, grilled some steaks and chilled.
Speaker 4:Oh sorry, Didn't mean to do that. Take this guy anywhere.
Speaker 1:And yeah, had some little controversy with the bunk beds. Dad ended up sleeping in the rafters, uh, but it all worked out well.
Speaker 4:But uh, the thing is is like if, if, if you've never taken a golf trip with your friends like you, just gotta go, do it. Have to, you know you can stay in the trailer on the side of in side of the state highway in georgia and feel like you're about to die because somebody's breaking into the back window and it's the best, just go do it, get out there and do it yeah do it for your health, do it for your mental health, do it for you.
Speaker 4:Sure, I came back I came back and I feel so less stressed because I'm stressed every day picking the kids up every day or taking the kids to school, going to work, picking the kids up, feeding them deer I feel so much better now. It's just like a release. It really is. Most days I'm like I gotta get there, make sure I get there on time, I gotta do this, I gotta do this. And then it's like, okay, I get there when I get there, and that's gonna last for maybe maybe a couple months, but it's good, it's it's good, it's great, go do it go do it, book it now go buy something like steve jack.
Speaker 1:Yeah, go buy something Like.
Speaker 2:Steve and Jack showed that video. Go buy something Go do it, go spend that money Go, spend that money Go do it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but this trip would not have been possible without the amazing folks at Beautiful Golf Courses and the Fort Hadley Foundation, the fundraiser that they put on every year every year every year. It's absolutely incredible. Uh, we're going to be hyping this one up as much as possible. It takes place on black friday, but you'll start seeing they're already. I was chatting with them the other day. They're already starting to put together stuff for this year and basically it's it's golf packages at places that you may not be able to get on like the two courses we played in payson, chaparral pines and the rim golf club are private courses.
Speaker 1:Uh, they're not open to the public. You can get on as guests, you know, I'm sure somehow.
Speaker 4:But I meet a friend. I got met. I got somebody sent me a message and they were like my parents live there. I've been trying to play rim club forever and he's like I'm gonna move there. I gotta meet somebody. I was like dude, beautiful golf courses for having like every year.
Speaker 4:Every year, you have the opportunity to take that chance and bid on something you've wanted to play for a long time. You just gotta put your money where your mouth is, and it's a great cause and just do it, and that's what we did and we didn't.
Speaker 1:I mean, had you guys heard of the rim club or chaparral pines? I mean, dan, you may have chaparral pines, not a rim club.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I mean, I've seen pictures, but no, I didn't.
Speaker 1:I did not even know, yeah, I, I had no idea, um, what to expect. Uh, as far as you know there, you know there's not a lot of people in Payson, it's a small town, nope, and so I wasn't sure what to expect. And the golf courses were impressive, they were impressive Now we did run into a couple little minor snags. On Mondays there's not a lot of action don't get me started, oh, joe's are already.
Speaker 1:I can feel it coming. Get that soapbox out, joe. Uh, but there's not a lot of action going on on mondays, uh, at at private courses. A lot of private courses across the country are closed on mondays. It gives, uh, you know, the staff and everybody a chance to have a day off or get caught up for some maintenance or whatever, stock the rooms and all that. So I wasn't sure if we were going to be able to play on a Monday, but they were open, thankfully. Yeah, but there was no food. I mean, we wanted to show up a little early, get some breakfast maybe, and and hit some balls. Nope, you could just hit balls. Uh, afterwards some lunch? Nope, nothing's open. Okay, well, we'll go across to the rim okay so we go, we get done nothing nothing.
Speaker 5:I mean, they didn't have anything nothing they didn't have a, not a water, mayo or anything, nothing, yeah, and water and a in a cooler that we found on 10 yeah
Speaker 1:it was like wow, nothing like yeah, and the guys, like they said they had two employees that day yeah him inside and the outside car guy.
Speaker 4:That was it.
Speaker 1:And so we said if there's nobody playing, we're just going to leave and come back at two instead of one. He's like, yeah, that's fine. So we went back into town, hit up a spot it wasn't a bucket of pasta, but it was a little pizza joint across the street and had some pizza and wings and some chicken sandwiches. And I went back out to the golf course, stopped off at a Speedy Mart slash Speedway slash 7-Eleven, stopped, grabbed a bunch of drinks and went back out and played um, it's all right. All right, let's talk about chaperone pines. Because yeah, it was. I mean, it's border number one for me. It's. It's really close. It could be one week of fall, could be one. They're both right there. Joe didn't like it.
Speaker 4:No I, I liked it. I think it was the prettiest. It was the prettiest of all of them is the most beautiful course we played, no doubt about it, no doubt no doubt about it.
Speaker 2:Prettiest course we played that's all he's gonna say. Yeah, well, go ahead.
Speaker 1:No, I'm gonna, I'm rebuttaling, I'm rebuttaling no, he didn't like, he didn't like the routing, he didn't like driving through the neighborhoods on a couple holes, um. But you know, when you're on a mountaintop sometimes you're going to have to do that. You can't just go from hole to hole. So that didn't bother me.
Speaker 4:I can go on a full tangent. Go, let's hear it. I want to hear it. Yeah, I was so hungry that morning. Nothing was open. Okay, the restaurant was not open. I was very hungry, you couldn't get chapstick. I could not get chapstick. My lips were chapped because we had week of paw and I was just dry. I drank 80 bottles of water, a week of paw and six high noons and I was just like spongebob out there. I needed fucking chapstick and I go 80 of chapstick, no, no chapstick yes, yes, greatly that's, that's insane.
Speaker 4:No, okay, I was more like I needed a snickers right, no snickers, no peanuts, no, nothing like.
Speaker 2:And the dude was we need a joant.
Speaker 1:We need a Joe name when he's angry. No, I'm not. I don't get angry. Bob becomes Robert.
Speaker 4:I can deal with hangry.
Speaker 1:Oh, you were bitter. You were bitter, but it was multiple things.
Speaker 4:It's not just because I was hungry, I was fine. I didn't ask for one of Jeremy's hard-boiled eggs. I can deal with that. But when it's you're hungry and then there's no chapstick and the bathroom is locked from the inside, oh, you can go around. You can go around, joe wasn't hangry, he was annoyed I was. Yeah, I was he was annoyed for sure, and then the pro shop sucks like. If there was like a dope ass hat in there, that probably would have calmed me down a little bit. No dope hats, pro Shaps sucked.
Speaker 5:I didn't think it was that bad.
Speaker 2:I didn't think it was great, but it wasn't.
Speaker 5:I mean they had a ton of it was trash. It was trash.
Speaker 1:I liked the shirt. I got a shirt. Yeah, you bought one. I don't think it was no, it wasn't as bad as the rim.
Speaker 3:The rim was off the rim had clubs at least I think rims was actually nicer it was like a dnf less election, less election, but nicer.
Speaker 1:For sure it was nicer but they had um bridgestone hats. I mean, who the fuck wears a Bridgestone hat?
Speaker 4:No, but for me it's like you know. I've been looking forward to taking this trip for a long time and it's like I can't get a breakfast burrito, I can't get a high noon right now.
Speaker 1:I can't get an iced tea at the moment. And if we play the first hole and then there's a minute and a half half drive around a corner and he's like, oh, this is fucking okay, the first.
Speaker 4:The first hole was incredible the first hole. I was like, oh, this shit is sick. The first hole. I was like this shit is dope. And then we, and then seriously we took a minute and a half drive around a corner. I was was like what the fuck is this? The next hole was fantastic. I loved the next hole, too Great hole. It just hit me like why did we leave this hole and then go a minute and a half later and now we're here? It was just compounding. It was just compounded.
Speaker 1:Did that bother any of you guys?
Speaker 3:yeah, I like that the holes are separate.
Speaker 4:I like that too, but it was just. It was just a compounding issue. It was compound compounding interest. You know what I mean do you feel like he?
Speaker 3:lose like momentum in in that minute and a half drive or what is it? About that that you don't like I don't think he gets lost.
Speaker 1:He gets lost. He doesn't know where he's at I got lost.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I like to know where I am. I like to. I like to see the golf course and know how it goes, like I like to be able to. When I finish a golf course, I like to be able to know where I was and know how I ended and the routing just like fucked me up and that's that's me right, like it's in my head. I like to be able to play a golf course one time and know which I. I like to be able to replay my round and chaparral pines in my head. Chapral Pines. I have fucking no idea where I was. Like I know one, I know two, I know nine or ten, and it's just nine and ten and then I just I get lost. That's my thing, right. Like I don't know where I was in my round. I could. I like to be able to go back because I don't keep score. I like to go back and be able to like oh, I hit that shot there, I hit that shot there, I hit that shot there.
Speaker 4:I can't piss score everybody, yeah, and I was completely fucking lost and I also did not like that we were playing slow. We weren't playing slow, but to the members we were playing slow. We weren't playing slow, but, like to the members, we were playing slow and I I always felt like somebody was on our backs the entire time.
Speaker 5:They were. Yeah, they were I had to look back, cause that ball was like 15 yards behind us, rolling to us.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we're not slow players, we're not, not at all we played in four hours.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're not still players and I just felt like there was all never seen before in our life.
Speaker 4:That is blind four hours is doable yeah, it's super acceptable that's the thing for me, if I cannot go through the entire course. In my head, the routing was sucked, and that's me.
Speaker 1:It's funny you say that because I used to, and me and Andrew Ganey used to talk about this all the time, because he has just doesn't remember anything. Nothing you know, and we were playing one time and he hit a really ridiculous chip shot that got close to the ground.
Speaker 1:I'm like oh oh man, that's just like the one you hit at cabot links. And he's like what the fuck are you talking about? And I'm like you don't remember that shot. And he's like, no, I couldn't tell you one hole on that whole course what it's like. I was like, oh my god, I said I could tell you every shot I've ever hit right, but like in the last year and a half two years, that's like's like it's starting to go away. Like I was sitting in bed last night thinking about the rim Cause I was like you know, the first. Like like two, three, four, five are just kind of numb to me. I don't know what is changing in me to where I don't have that ADHD, where I have to. You know that I have to remember every single shot, what I hit the yardage everything, but it doesn't bother me anymore.
Speaker 1:I'm like, oh well, I guess it wasn't that memorable, if I can't remember it.
Speaker 3:But do you remember, like, if you hit a good shot, do you remember a hole, that you hit an extra special shot? Yeah, I think on 11,.
Speaker 1:I hit that hybrid that was at the top of the hill. I don't remember 11.
Speaker 3:Oh, there you go. No, I'm talking about at the rim.
Speaker 1:I was at the rim.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't remember.
Speaker 1:That was the one in the video I got where. Dan drove it the long par five.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, it was a mile.
Speaker 1:It was a short par. It was not a short par four, but a par four.
Speaker 4:that it was the one that went to the right.
Speaker 1:You could have carried over the canyon to the fairway.
Speaker 4:Yeah, good birdie, dan birdied it. It was the one where I was short and Dan was like never change.
Speaker 1:That was 11. Joe went for a full flop and it went off. I was like 20 feet.
Speaker 5:The easiest of chip shots, almost flat. Four feet of fairway in front of him, about 18 feet of green, and must have flopped it and I was like never changed then I made like a 12 foot putt yeah but as you know, there's, there's some of those holes that I that just don't don't remember, you know.
Speaker 1:But and it's not like I'm trying to forget them, it's just you know that just didn't like the the, the third hole. I just I couldn't know, they just didn't like the the, the third hole. I just I couldn't. I'm like why can't I remember the third hole? And so I was watching dennis riccio and I'm like I'm like, wait a minute. Oh, okay, I remember. Now that's the one where we lost. Everybody was right on the opposite side of the bunkers. I said, okay, I remember.
Speaker 4:The only really bad hole out there at the rim was, well, we're on Chapel Rock Pines, I still, but one was the worst hole out there and that's because it was just straight away and that's what they tell you, like just welcome to the golf course, and that's that's like where my brain is right, like you know, and that's that's like where my brain is right. Like you know, we all were tired, also eating pizza from the pizza factory. Well, you know, full tired.
Speaker 4:We already played 18 and you know it was just a welcoming and, if you think about it right, it's like what a fantastic course to welcome you to your second 18 of the day after being super tired. Okay, here you are Opening hole Straight ahead, Nothing special, let's get back in the groove of things. And then it works its way around into the back nine and then you're like on, you know the back. You're like holy shit, Like that's what I love. It told the story it and it fit that second round perfectly of the day.
Speaker 1:We were fucking tired yeah, I said it was like okay, let's get back into the groove of things.
Speaker 4:Guys, I know you're tired. Here's a straightforward one for you I said it was a.
Speaker 1:It was a. Hold my beer back. Nine. I think, Dan, you're right. It started at hole six. I think it was five. Five is a short hole that you can drive the green with a big tee shot.
Speaker 4:Sorry on three for me, I don't remember three.
Speaker 1:Three, the par five.
Speaker 4:Three was I'm saying I didn't remember it, the one where we all, the one you lost the ball, yeah yeah and uh, then four was the par four or three and then, then it was five short four.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah that's what I said whole five, um, actually no two.
Speaker 4:It started on two for me, because that was the one that went up to the right and I hit it through the trees. Remember it was up to the right and you guys were all left. Yep, it did, it was. There was nothing basic about that, course, except one, except one. One was the only easy, straightforward hole and it was like a, I'm telling you, sorry, getting emotional rim was dope. Yeah, it was like a, I'm telling you okay, sorry, getting emotional.
Speaker 1:Rim was dope. Yeah, it definitely like it was a whole, a whole my beer. Let me show you what's coming up, because the the back nine was. It was spectacular. It was back to, I think, the. I think the conditions at chaparral pines were better. Yes, I agree with that. I think the the tighter holes at chaparral Pines were better. Yes, I agree with that. I think the tighter holes at Chaparral Pines made the golf a little bit more challenging. Totally, there wasn't as many I don't know where I'm going shots at Chaparral Pines as there was at the rim, in my opinion.
Speaker 4:Hold on what I think there was more More at. Chaparral, you don't know where you're going.
Speaker 3:There was some from the tees we were playing. There was some that you couldn't tell if you were going left or right.
Speaker 1:I thought there was more at the rim, though.
Speaker 4:Oh no, Not at all.
Speaker 3:I don't think so.
Speaker 1:I don't think so. I felt like there was, I think, the par fives, because there was at Chaparral Pines the par fives, because there was at at chaparral pines the par fives. There's two shots on that hole each time that you don't know where it's going yeah, that one of that.
Speaker 3:First, that one par five was downhill where it's. It's like a guaranteed three shots, unless you oh oh yeah, that was a nutty asshole, yeah it was a very sick hole, but the being able to go for it in two was not a possibility.
Speaker 4:I didn't think. No, not at all. There was so many funky ass holes.
Speaker 1:You would have to be so far right and so far long to have even look at the hole.
Speaker 4:So many funky holes at Chaparral. Chaparral C-H-A-P-P-A-R-L.
Speaker 1:No, that's not right. Right, don't do that again. Um, but I I thought the the tighter, the tighter layout made it a little bit more challenging golf rim was a lot more wide open.
Speaker 4:I did like I did, like a chaparral, that like when you hit you thought you were like I can't, I have to go right here. But there was way more room in areas where it's like if you play it a second time, obviously it's going to be more enjoyable because you know the course. But yeah, off the tee, chaparral is insane, but if you know it, you know there's room to the left, there's room to the right, here and there they even told us a couple of times, like 11 is not a driver hole.
Speaker 1:So I get up there and I had 18 birdies and I'm looking and I'm like, yeah, well, it's 275, 280 to the end of the fairway and it's kind of uphill. I said I'm, I'm fine with driver. Well, what you don't know is that at like 240 the hill peaks out and then it's downhill for another 50 yards and so, yeah, you hit it to that spot but then it's running out and going past and I was in the rough, I was blocked out by a tree, I had no chance to get to the green. I'm like you know, that's where next time I play that hole I would not hit driver off the team.
Speaker 4:I just think one of the greatest things about golf courses because everyone's so different, everybody plays so different right is like I don't think chaparral provides you with opportunities to have different thoughts on the tee. Like think of that. That par five, what was that? Six, 15, 16, the one where it went? You had to hit a 200 yard shot, like that was it? That was your only option off the tee, that was it?
Speaker 5:oh yeah yeah, that you don't have it.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you don't have an option off the tee. I think it was 50, and I think that's one of the great things about golf course architecture is like you're provided with two choices okay, pick one or the other, take it on, play safe. And the only option on that tee was to hit a 220 yard shot. That was it. There's no other option unless you can carry it 350 yards like jeremy. That's it yeah, and down no, jeremy's the big baller now no no, I'm not, he's absolutely. J Jeremy's elite Dude. I don't know.
Speaker 1:I don't know, because what you did on 14 at the rim was pretty freaking amazing.
Speaker 3:That was obscene that was nasty, call the church, cross it out.
Speaker 1:The 14th hole at the rim is, uh, straight line 380 yards to the front of the green there is a little bit yeah, from the back t is 380 did you guys play the back t.
Speaker 3:No, we hit from your t. We played up. I thought you guys went back and hit from the back tee.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think it was like 360. So still, Still. I mean. So we all hit our tee shots and then Dan and Jeremy went oh, we're going to go back and re-tee and go for it, since we know where it's at now. And so they go back. I hit my approach, joe hits his approach. I'm videoing it. This is a video I posted earlier today and as Joe's balls coming into the green, you see Jeremy's ball come into the green as well from 360 yards away. Yeah, that was insane. That was an incredible golf shot.
Speaker 3:Well, thanks to Dan for going first and showing me the way, because it was. I mean, we still had no idea. Really. We had sort of picked a target and it ended up being good.
Speaker 1:And what about some of the houses, the?
Speaker 3:houses were amazing.
Speaker 1:Holy crap, there is some hidden cartel money going on at the rim, good Lord.
Speaker 4:That's a lot of that missing people money bro, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So I would recommend everybody pay attention to the beautiful golf courses. Uh, the four hadley auction they'll start touting it in november.
Speaker 1:Uh, you'll be able to see all the things that are out there if you are a golf course operator and you want to help raise some money, get in touch with us. We'll connect you with Mike at Beautiful Golf Courses and the people at Fort Hadley so you can donate some foursomes. That's basically what they do. The golf courses donate a foursome. Sometimes you've got to have a three ball because you've got to play with a member. Then they go out to bid. Whoever bids the most gets them, and we were sneaky and found a really great deal. We're going to be trying to do the exact same thing this time somewhere else Look out, look, out, look out.
Speaker 1:Look out. So we're going to find some place somewhere and take care of it.
Speaker 4:Also, if you're a member at a golf course and you think your course should be a part of it, you need to hit up Beautiful Golf Courses in Fort Hadley and try and get your course involved with it. It's what.

I'm sure there's st george courses, all the desert areas around there. Um, I'm sure, I'm sure there's st george courses, all the desert areas around there um, I'm sure.
Speaker 4:I'm sure you guys get hit up all the time like how did you play there, what did you do? There's opportunities to play these courses and you just got to go out there and seek them out and find it. You know, just like in vegas, snga does the the um, what is it? Social series or social outings, yeah, yeah or scrambles, or, you know, beautiful golf courses and for hadley that there's options for you to be able to do these things.

Speaker 4:Yeah, the wait felt. Good this trip.
Speaker 5:I don't know what's going on.
Speaker 4:Maybe I lost muscle, maybe I gained muscle, I don't know. I have no idea, because maybe the alabertos hit me in a specific spot, in my biceps or triceps.
Speaker 1:You want to hear something crazy. I gained seven pounds. Nice, no, that's not nice. I think that was that burrito, that was the sugar coffee in the morning. Of the burrito, holy Mary.
Speaker 3:That was good food, though.
Speaker 4:Dude, that Alberto's was bomb. That was legit.
Speaker 2:I would trade.
Speaker 4:Alberto's for my local for sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was impressed.
Speaker 3:Do you think it was better than Roberto's?
Speaker 4:Yes, Really oh yeah.
Speaker 1:That was one of the best combo burritos I've ever had in my life.
Speaker 4:The ground beef. Yeah, that carne asada was fantastic. Couldn't get to the mute fast enough.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you guys in the phoenix area and they're all over the small towns in the eastern arizona side, uh show low holbrook eager well, I was asking.
Speaker 4:I was asking value of flips if he's got any philip burdos head covers earlier I wonder how close the nearest alaberto's is to uh second swing, right it's probably basin. It's probably basin because road trip on the cup. It was all small cities. Mesa was.
Speaker 1:Mesa was the big one, though yeah, I took a picture of it because eager is where my mom grew up and it's a tiny, tiny little town and they had one and she, I sent her the picture and showed it to her and, uh, she said that, uh, heber is even smaller than eager. But yeah, maricopa, mesa, page, prescott, payson, heber, eager, wagon wheel, lakeside, pine top, cholo, taylor and holbrook, which are all small towns, and there's one in Las Lunas, new Mexico.
Speaker 2:We need a franchise.
Speaker 1:Here let's go the Knights.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I will, no doubt Las Lunas.
Speaker 3:Overall. I mean if you're looking at the whole spectrum of restaurants, like overall, it's difficult to beat those restaurants, like if you take into account everything like the selections, the food, the atmosphere.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's it's up there, the elk the elk, the bucket, the pasta next door hey, another thing, joe, don't forget the fresca in it yeah, in a glass bottle.
