I’m still recovering from this last weekend. My birthday was Wednesday, and it was one of the best ever. I think that every year , but it’s true. We had some cheesecake and went to Hancock after I got off work and opened a few presents. Pretty good birthday.

Included in my presents was my Mesquite Golf Pass. Scott from work and his buddy Aaron and I planned a trip to leave Thursday after work and play five rounds of golf in the next three days. The idea sounded crazy to me at first and got crazier as it played out.

We left Scott’s house and headed south after work Thursday. When we hit Kanosh, Aaron knew of a hot spring just off the freeway so we took an exit and drove through the country side to a little gated area. It was a really cool little hot spring in the middle of a field. We did some flips off the side and explored the abyss that supposedly has no bottom that has been found so far. After hanging out there for a bit, we rolled onward and got Mesquite where I got short tour of the town before we headed to Aaron’s parent’s house.

About six hours later the alarm went off and we headed to the Oasis Golf Club to play the Palmer Course at 7:00 AM. We finished that off around noon and played the Canyons Course an hour later. I was definitely getting my money’s worth by then. After the golf for the day we grabbed some awesome Mexican food at Los Lupes and crashed the pool at the Oasis for a bit. We burned the town and crashed late that night. I was dying thinking that I only had about five and a half hours before we would be getting up for another day of golf.



Up again at 5:30 to make the 6:30 tee time at Falcon Ridge. Scott used to work there when he was a younger man, and it was my favorite course. I hit some of my better shots in that round including a sixty foot putt to birdie the par three second hole. We finished there before noon and Scott scored us some killer parmesan chicken at the club house. They didn’t have it on the menu anymore, but he pulled some strings and it was worth it. One o’clock that afternoon we played the Casablanca course and that finished it off for us for the day. You would think we would crash early for the night, but no,no, we were troopers. A couple games of bowling and some craps and roulette carried into the wee hours again.

One more round at 6:30 Sunday was just enough to make you think twice before planning a trip like this again soon. I think we all felt the same way Aaron did when his driver slipped out his hands and flew about fifty feet during his practice swing on the fourth hole. Apparently we were getting a little tired. Although it was a lot of golf and it almost seemed like a chore by the end, it was awesome and I would definitely do it again as long as it isn’t in the next month or so.
