Anyone in El Paso TX


BENNYSUPREME

Recommended Posts

I'm moving from Hawaii to El Paso Tx next year. Just trying to get a feel from what to expect out there.

Don't live in El Paso but have spent a considerable amount of time in the city because of business.

In my opinion you'll want to live on the west side. Not because of the people but because of from where the prevailing wind blows. Up in the hills is better. Make sure your "swamp cooler" is in top notch working order.
Juarez... well I hire someone to drive me around.
Crime (drugs) is something to educate yourself about.
Fort Bliss trains quite a few NATO personnel.
There is a reason why Interstate Highway 10 is so wide. And not because of Eisenhower.
I have played probably half the courses. Painted Dunes is enjoyable. Butterfield Trail was new but the layout was enjoyable. El Paso Country Club was nice as well.

It's funny that I found your post trying to locate a legit fitter in the area. I'm in Las Cruces and play a little at Bliss and in El Paso. I just played Sunset on Saturday and man those greens were beat up, mainly because no one fixes their ball marks and some knucklehead was wearing football cleats and was ruining the course. We called the pro shop and the dude was asked to leave. I don't know if they let him back on after he changed his shoes, though.

So have you had any luck finding a fitter nearby?

I have not located a fitter around El Paso. On the other hand I decided to stay with my current setup.

I will be heading to El Paso in July. I will only be there for about 10 months. I played the Sunrise course at Bliss back when it was new in '97 and again in '98. Back in '98 there was a problem with their water well, and they were only watering the greens and tees. Obviously that has been fixed by now. Back then, the Sunrise was better than the Sunset. I also had the opportunity to play the Painted Dunes in '97. That was a sweet course, but we played when the greens had just been punched. I am looking to find some guys who can play and know the area.

Have you guys looked at the Egolf Amateur Golf Tour that plays tournaments in Las Cruces and El Paso?

I will be getting there in June of this year, right when the heat starts to crank it up, which will be fun. It will remind me of my time in Iraq. The best part is that I shouldn't be getting shot at in El Paso, but that isn't always a guarantee from what I hear. I played Painted Dunes back in the late 90's, so it will good to see how that course matured.

LOL. It will be like we're back in Balad again. LOL

There aren't any incoming mortars, are there? That would actually be kind of hilarious.

You will have to show me where the good Mexican food restaurants are. My brother in law knows of one that is there, and says that it is one of the best that he has eaten at.

The courses are dry right now, Well everything but the greens. Painted Dunes is ok now but the course in El Paso is Butter Field.

So you guys should be hitting some long drives out there. Probably makes playing wedge and chip shots a bit tougher.

I not long by any means. Chris is the long driver, but with these winds and the hard grounds I have been hitting so bombs. In our group it will be nothing to see guys hitting 320 plus, Heck I almost drove and 320 yard hole with my 15* hybrid today. Your balling striking will be a lot better before you leave that's for sure. If not you will have a long stay.

You definitely can. We welcome everyone of all handicaps. Some of our guys shoot in the 60's and some in the hundreds. Just a lot of guys out having fun.

That's what I am looking for. I will be surprised if I can break 80.

I'm not a member at Butterfield, but play most of my golf out at Underwood Golf Complex on Fort Bliss. We have a normal group that plays every Saturday morning at 0800. Good group of guys that want to have fun. The complex has two courses, and depending on which one we play, we put $12 or $13 into the pot for a team bet, skins, and closest to the pin. Let me know if you ever want to get out and play. We have a range of handicaps from scratch to 30+. The format gives everybody a chance to win.

Butterfield is always in good shape, and also keeps their greens slow. Some say they do this because of the undulations on the greens, and some believe that the superintendent is afraid of cutting them close for the risk of losing the greens. I don't know much else about the greens. It is fairly forgiving off of the tee though.

Good luck.
