Day Two on Gainey Ranch

This morning was nicer than yesterday, a little warmer and lots of sunshine. We teed off at around 10:00 am at Gainey Ranch Golf Club. This is the same club that we are staying at. Our gracious host, John Dimetra, has not only allowed us to stay in his condo, but invited us to play at his course. It was a great day to play golf. Here are three pictures of today's round.





I must say, as far as scores go, I personally did better today than yesterday. Tomorrow we are playing at the Golf Club of Scottsdale, so things could turn for the worst. That course is supposed to be the toughest one of our three day stay. An added bonus is that we will be playing with our childhood neighbors, John and Kurt Peterson. Wish us luck.

Well Day one is over

It was a long day but a good one. My Dad, Patrick and myself are staying in a condo on a golf course at Gainey Ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona. This morning we went to the Gainey Ranch Pro Shop and my brother and I took a half an hour lesson from a pro named Randy. He helped Partick and I a lot. It was a great half and hour lesson. We left straight from there and drove about 30 miles up to the mountains to a golf club called Desert Mountain. Pictures are below, but let me just tell you we lost many golf balls, and enjoyed spectacular views. After golf we had dinner with some friends from Chicago, and now we are about to relax for the evening. More to come.

Our First Day in Phoenix

Well my brother, Patrick along with my Dad, Ed, and myself arrived in Phoenix Arizona Last night and it began. It was like we were kids again. Just laughing and being boys. We went to bed late and got up early. Day one of golf is today at Desert Mountain, it should be fun. I will post more as we go. Here is our Morning Picture.
