Arizona Grand

The luxurious Arizona Grand Golf Course is where we improved our game today.  This course is part of  a premier resort in Phoenix where employees greet you with with large helpful smiles.  Seriously, we even had an employee drive past us as we were playing who exclaimed, "Thanks for coming today!"  American optimism oozed from every inch of this resort, and I don't think that's a bad thing.

I was impressed with this course.  Lush and green were the fairways and rough, where as many courses down here are covered in brown.  The scattering of palm trees added to this course's appeal.  On the front half I felt as though I was in an oasis.  A lot of green and a lot of water.  I'll admit I did loose a few balls out there.

The back nine was a desert paradise.  Still green on the course, but with dusty hills and cacti surrounding.  Cresting over a small hill to the 18th hole I was amazed; Arizona lay sprawling in front of us.  A very impressive design and great way to end the round.

I must go now as the ribs my dad has on the bbq are just about ready and I need to help with other food.   The BCS Bowl has just kicked off and is on in the background.   I really hope Auburn win; as a Husky I could never cheer for the Ducks!
