I played at Toka Sticks in Mesa Az. par 72.  I shot a 95, had a lot of chances for birdies and eagles but my short game killed me. The weather was a hot 89 degrees with a cool breeze but thats Arizona for you. Trying to get enough games in where I can get my hadicap for the next tournament. If any one comes out to play Arizona, I would say that Toka Sticks is affordable and a pretty good course.

ted, do you have any idea how many people reading this would hang that 95 on their refrigerators? my last 5 rounds were all over 100 and would do backflips if i got in the 90's right now!!! anyway, dont fret, it will get better..

Thanks for the confidence, I mostly got bummed out when I drove the tee shot about 320 yards on a par 5 for the longest drive contest, and some body drove it further.

I was down in the dumps most of the winter because my rounds were in the 93-97 range and I felt like I was really backsliding. One day I pulled up my scores for the last year and averaged my scores from the same time period last year and I was in the 99-104 range! I felt much better after that. Around here course conditions chaneg quite a bit from sumer to winter and it's normal for scores to go up in winter time. Last summer I was in a nice stretch in the mid 80's with a "terrible" round being 95, so when I was struggling to break 90 this winter I was pretty discouraged until I did my little research.
