EDITED FOR LATEST PLANS

I have a work trip to Casa Grande for May 14-15, and I'll be flying in the 13th and flying out early the 16th, staying in Chandler. Will be playing a round the afternoon of Monday, May 13th - any THPers available to skive off work and tee it up with your east coast THP brother??

Landing in Phoenix just before noon. I have a tee time booked at 1:48PM at Raven Golf Club, about 15-20 mins from the airport. Currently @MSEASU will be joining me, but there are still 2 spots available, so if interested go ahead and book your spot!

You don't want to golf with those pesky AZ guys

1:30 to 6:30 is tight to get from course to meet and greet. Mondays should be OK for pace but can't guarantee anything. Also you will stink because it will be over 90 and you will sweat. Getting a shower in adds complications.

Courses to look at

Raven/Legacy - close to airport but a bit of a drive to Chandler. You will have to get on 10 in rush hour
Whirlwind - Closer to Chandler but again getting back to Chandler will have some traffic
Chandler courses leave a lot to be desired. If you are looking at downtown Chandler then San Marcos is there. I have played it a couple of times and it is fine but not exactly a destination course. Other side of Chandler has Ocotillo, Bear Creek, and Lone Tree all of which may require some bribing to get an AZ person to go play them. :ROFLMAO:

I will be at the Data Experience so I am out.

Thanks for the reco's man! As far as the meet and greet, I think that's fairly flexible. My coworkers are supposed to land in Phoenix at 6, so my thought was kinda to get back to Chandler by 6:30 to allow myself some time to get cleaned up.

I'll take a look at those options as far as courses too, thank you! At a quick googling both Raven and Whirlwind look beautiful.
 
I'd love to have a Titleist Experience reunion, but I won't be able to get up there on the 13th. My suggestion is Raven GC, although it might be a slow drive to Chandler afterwards. Enjoy your visit in AZ!

Dang would love to tee it up with you dude! Another time hopefully!
 
I have some corporate visitors in town the week before, but if things go well, they leave on 5/10. I can’t really commit this early, but I am interested. The timeline will be pretty tight; most rounds in the area are close to 4.5 hours. Sometimes in the hot afternoons, you can get around pretty quick
 
Little bump to see if any other AZ THPers might be interested.
 
Unfortunately I have to work. I’d much rather be playing golf with you.

Just checking in, let me know once you have an idea if this might work!

Also, if anyone is still interested, it looks like Whirlwind is completely booked/closed/otherwise unavailable this Monday so if I play it will most likely be at Raven.

Sorry, I can’t make it work. I have another corporate visitor flying in on Monday that I didn’t know about.

No worries man, appreciate the heads up!
 
If there is anyone still interested, @MSEASU and I have a tee time at 1:48PM at Raven on Monday, 5/13. There were two spots still available on the tee time last I looked, so if you'd like to join us feel free to book it and let us know!
