I played TPC Stadium this morning for the first time, just a few days after the Phoenix Open was held there. It was pouring down rain, which sucked because I came to AZ to enjoy some sunshine. But it also thinned out the crowd and it allowed me to play as a single and finish my round in less than three hours.
Another cool feature was that the bleachers were still erected - making it the closest that I will ever get to feeling like a pro. I sucked ass on the front nine, partially because of the rain, partially because of this new duck hook that I've got on my tee shot. I seemed to be in trouble every time I prepared for my second shot. Thankfully the rain turned to a light sprinkle and my game stepped it up a notch. I played pretty good on the back and finished the round with a 92.
Only slight disappointments were that the course was a little more flat that I imagined, and the Pro Shop didn't have that many cool things.
5 stars - but I've had better...
