Silentcmh... the website is on the first post, bottom center of the pic.



So Guys how was Encanto... I heard from a friend they are trying to grow the rough to like 5 inches so the ball will be a hard recovery if you spray it during the tourney. Any truth???

no rough to speak of but they still have a few weeks. It was good to play there. There are a lot of holes that if you miss the green getting up and down can be VERY difficult. Never realized how elevated some of those greens were.

So I played Encanto again today and played decently. The greens are the fastest and firmest I've ever seen out there, very fun to play though it will definitely separate the good players from the decent players.

On #3 I hit a super high 7 iron, it hit the green and bounced about 20 yards over the back of the green. About half of my wedge shots actually checked up on the first bounce and the other half took a couple huge bounces then checked. They have not and will not grow the rough out, I asked after my round.

Thanks for the update... looks like i need to work on my lag putting. Or hope that the rain this weekend really softens up the greens for a couple of weeks

In a similar vein, I just got an email with this year's Mesa City entry form. Since I'll be out of town for the Phoenix City this is my one shot this year. I've played it the last two years and had a blast; very well run, and they make sure that you stay on a good pace by having a time clock at the turn/after 18. May 3-4, $140, top 22 gross and net each pay out.

Do they have a webpage you could link me to with all the info?

Does anyone have the website for the Mesa City am entry form?

Just played Encanto this morning and it is in pretty good shape. Greens are nice. Maryvale is pretty good. Have not played Aguila this winter. Greens are always mushy there.

Looking forward to the tournament.

Played 36 at aguila today. Always like it out there. Great layout and shape. Greens are soft as usual and decent pace. The grounds crew was actually needle punching a couple of holes but that usually fades in a couple of days. No sand or anything, just water injection. Was spinning balls all day which was a huge contrast from Encanto which we played yesterday. Greens are firm as rock out there. Going to be quite the contrast going from one course to another. Encanto was in decent shape. The greens are fast though and a little bumpy which makes for tough putting. Have to lag it up close as 3-4 footer will bounce around a little and you can't be too firm with them as a miss will leave you 4-5 feet.

Aguila had "please stay off" signs on a lot of the back tee boxes which I suppose means they're saving them for the tournament. Probably will play to full length.

Playing Maryvale tomorrow. Never been out there before so looking forward to new course.

I've never seen Encanto play as hard as it did today. The greens were so yellow and hard they had to spray paint them this morning.

Almost every single pin was tucked too.

They were rough on Wednesday thats for sure. I can't imagine being worse but sounds like they managed to pull it off.

I realize no course super wants their course to be taken apart by good players but today was a little silly. The quickest way to have 5.5 hour rounds is have foursomes in a tourney with tucked pins and rock hard greens.

I still had fun out there but it was tough to get it under par. Hopefully tomorrow!

Saw some crazy bounces today. Saw a lob wedge bounce 5 feet high and 40 feet over the back after hit hard/high from 105 with lots of spin.

Also saw a 56 year old drive the second green after carrying it about 275. How did he get it to go 330? rock hard ground. Guy started 3,3,3 with 2 eagle putts.

Just a heads up, if anyone plays ever with a guy named Abe Candaleria he's a cheater and a scumbag.

Cheated when I played with him at the Mesa Champ and again today with BOlson.
