Just got back and golfed Laughlin Ranch and Los Lagos. I had a twilight tee time at LR ($74.00) and asked the starter if he had a retired military discount. He said no, but then took $20.00 off! This was the highlight of my round. The wind was WINDY!!! It really ate me up. My round was terrible, just rotten. I actually stopped keeping score after the first few holes. Played with some nice guys (better than me); one was a local. I also played Los Lagos and also enjoyed it. First time and really think it%26#39;s a great track. I had a tee time for Cerbat Cliffs the day after Laughlin Ranch, but cancelled - I didn%26#39;t want to suffer another windy round of golf. Probably should have gone up there. For a muni, it%26#39;s a great golf course. And, of course, my heart went out to good ole%26#39; Emerald River. It%26#39;s getting to the point now that you can%26#39;t even see where the fairways used to be. Somebody, PLEASE, bring back Emerald River!!
My golf review
LR might be one of the windiest non coastal golf courses in the country! Unless you consider the shores of the Colorado River %26#39;coastal%26#39;. But it is a great track. Sadly many golf courses can%26#39;t generate enough revenue to stay open these days. Emerald River was an early casualty and forerunner of what Obama wants to do to us all now. Next time you%26#39;re in Laughlin, drive down to the Avi resort and play at Mojave. That%26#39;s a fun course, and was in good condition the last time I played it. It%26#39;s been a few years though...
My golf review
';what Obama wants to do to us all now.'; What is that supposed to mean? The Republicans run us into the ground and Obama gets the blame. Another example of our unenlightened citizenry at work.
In fact I pray for a redistribution of wealth daily so I can scoop up some of those big bucks from those who can afford to live in places like Sedona. John McCain must be spending lots of time in Sedona (one of his many homes) lately. He sure doesn%26#39;t do anything for Laughlin. He has consistently opposed Arizona funding for a second Laughlin-Bullhead bridge. He says we really don%26#39;t need it. I challenge him to wait in the daily traffic jams to get across the river before shift change. But again, they are just poor minimum wage workers, and the Republican right doesn%26#39;t give too much of a hoot about those folks anyway.
Enough political commentary after eight years of being buried up to our eyeballs. Stick it to %26#39;em Mr. Pres.
Viva Laughlin!
Hey - Can%26#39;t we all get along! Let%26#39;s stay on the subject. I%26#39;ve played Avi - Yes, an excellent course. Love it. I%26#39;ve played (I think) all the local courses and there is one that I just don%26#39;t like: El Rio, and I don%26#39;t know why. The few times I did play the greens were burnt to a crisp, but other than that the course seems to be nice enough. Just can%26#39;t get a decent score out there.
I have not played El Rio. I am hooked on Los Lagos now. Far prefer it to Mohave Resort.
Mr.Sedona expert thanks for my laugh for the day. I laughed out loud on that one. Twisting the story of a golf course that has been closed for years into a dig on Obama. Hilarious. Great April fools joke, and an obvious attempt to prompt someone to respond. Grif took the bait.
(I sure hope he was not serious)
CaSwede.....Mr or Mr. Sedona? ha, ha
I find that many Republicans are genuinely quite bitter over the loss of the Whitehouse as well as Congress. Look at fat boy Rush.....wanting the President to fail. Now there is a true patriot! What a loser! Can you imagine someone saying that they wanted our military leaders in the field to fail during the invasion of Iraq? They would have been branded as traitors. And rightfully so. Anyway, I%26#39;m glad I didn%26#39;t start this whole thing, but as a patriot, I just couldn%26#39;t let it go......until now. Done
Viva Laughlin!
