Well, looks like it's a go and we're all booked up for the first weekend in Feb. 5.5 rounds in 3.5 days is how it's looking so far.
Fly in Thursday around 2pm and try to get 9 holes in somewhere and staying at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort (cheap on priceline and apparently only "ok" but it'll work), then playing Vista Verde and Tonto Verde on Friday. TPC Champions and Troon North Monument on Saturday and then We-Ko-Pa Saguaro on Sunday before flying out at about 5pm.
I think it should make for a good weekend and a nice break to winter (although the weather's been decent here lately) before heading back up to watch some Olympic hockey games (going to Swe v. Bel, Fin v. Bel, Swe v. Fin, and probably QF #4).
Any tips on good dining down there? Looking at Ruth's Chris steakhouse because it's across the street from the resort, apparently, Posh (sounds pretty interesting), Tutti Santi, Noca, Mastro's...whatever we can make work. I love food.
Also learned that you do NOT rent a car at the PHX airport as it faces a 29% surcharge vs. other rentals.
