HOG World Tour – Coyote Springs

Wow what a day. I just got back to my room in Mesquite and it is 9:00pm. Where has the day gone? Good places.

Coyote Springs

This morning I did a casual interview with tournament director Christian Adderson here in Mesquite about the upcoming Mesquite Amateur tournament. Watch for the video in a couple of days.

Then I took off for about an hour’s drive to Coyote Springs Nevada to do a course review. Coyote Springs Golf Club is a Jack Nicklaus signature design which rolls through some very cool Nevada desert terrain. I’m still on the road and my review will be a while in the making, but enjoy the pic above as a teaser.

When I got back into town, I had a sit down with PGA Pro Adam Schwartz from The Oasis Golf Club about his two great courses and some neat courses he’s teaching for elderly folks just picking up the game. More to come on that.

Yes, I know THE PLAYERS is this week at the TPC Sawgrass. I’ll get to some posts about that when I get back from the latest tour stops this weekend…

Hole 15 at Sand Hollow

I’m now in my hotel in Mesquite, Nevada. The round today at Sand Hollow was tough with wind and rain. But the course is so fantastic I played through it. Shot a 79 which isn’t bad under the circumstances.

Hole 15 at Sand Hollow. Fantastic!

I’m only able to post with my iPad so posts my be a little slow or cryptic but stay tuned for more from this leg of the HOG World Tour.

TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course Review

Did you know that the TPC has more than one par-3?! Click to read my Sawgrass review!

When you are done enjoying the TPC Sawgrass photos, check out my TPC Sawgrass Stadium Course review.

I have fond memories of playing the TPC, like dumping a sleeve of the yet to be released new version of the Titleist ProV1’s into the drink on #17. The caddy bailed on me after the 2nd ball. Another fond memory was birdieing the 14th hole, the toughest on the course, after knocking a 7-iron to about three feet. Another fond memory is just standing on the back of the 17th green and looking at the “better than most” putt Tiger Woods made en route to his PLAYERS victory. Tough putt.

You’ll gather this, but the biggest impression I had from playing the TPC Sawgrass, pun intended, was that it is a BIG course. Everything is big from the fairways to the bunkers to the trees to the water hazards and of course, the price to play it.

HOG World Tour – Quest for Sand Hollow

Sand Hollow is amazing, and I'm heading back.... NOW!

This is an auto-post due to the fact that I’m now on the road heading south as fast as I can legally go. The HOG World Tour is making a stop today at Sand Hollow Golf Course in Hurricane, Utah. I’m teeing off at noon, rain or shine. Right now it looks like rain but I don’t care.

Of all the many great courses I’ve played, Sand Hollow ranks in the “special” category. I could be spending my time reviewing some new (to me) courses in the Southern Utah, Mesquite or Las Vegas areas rather than doing Sand Hollow, but forget that. Sand Hollow calls and I must answer. It has been calling me since the last time I walked off the 18th green.

Links Nine

This time around I will be experiencing the “Links Nine” along with the primary 18 this time. I have yet to enjoy the Links Nine, but that will change in about seven hours. I’ve heard many great things about the Links, and from what I understand is walking only. Cool.

I’ll be doing some live blog updates here on HOG, and many many updates on my TGS Twitter page. There’s a surprise new course in store for for the HOG World Tour tomorrow (Tuesday the 10th) as well so stay tuned.
