Just FYI: I lost a bunch of golf balls last week to water and deceptive landscape.. I feel your pain.

flagstaff is a magic place too. very close to a major cosmic vortex, sedona is a local hotspot where it gathers. the four mountains, the peaks. ancient pathway. the hopi know something, they might be right.

my favorite way to get to flagstaff is through zion canyon, over to kanab and page, then down through the kiabab and the rez. big country out there. as luck would have it, if you follow that road you end up back in las vegas. a fun and enlightening trip from glitz to extreme austerity through spirituality and back to glitz. take at least a week to do it right, slow down. you can find things out there. maybe even find yourself.

there are vortexes everywhere. watch out for them, they can pull you in, like a waterfall, you can spot them by when they flash.

that is a magic circle, vegas-st george-zion-kanab-page-flagstaff-kingman-vegas. i grew up on the north side of that circle, that is my first 'hood. i cut my teeth there, pounded drums and ran naked in that forest, know backroads that lead to some very empty places, felt my first titties there, saw god at least i think it was god, all the normal things normal folks do.

they have some stunning courses down there. that is a road trip i have not done in a long while. when i do again i will let you know. we could shoot a round.

Sounds great Burro. I look forward to it. We're visiting the 4 Corners on the way to our mid-west adventure so I'll catch some of that wonder along the way.

All the best!

My college roommate from many moons and decades ago, has just decided spontaneously to relocate from the black hills to Sedona. My mom, landscape artist, has painted Sedona surrounds. I may eventually experience Sedona, now that my longago roommate and spouse have relocated down there-they did so as of this week-literally. glad I visited them last fall in their black hills custom home they built with their own 2 hands, only chance I ever got to see it after they'd finished building it. Already sold. Last I'd seen it previous when they were building, it had foundation and basement dug only. I'm guessing their next new home and location will be equally enjoyable to visit, whenever I get there.

You'll love Sedona when you do visit Alevin. It's one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Expensive as all get out but beautiful..

vortexes are not windows, vortices are doors, doors are transporters.

I played the Moab, UT course this weekend. Very scenic course. The course wasn't as tough as the ones in Mesquite, UT - not much water and few sand traps, but you had to keep in the fairway or it was gone.

that is a pretty, big, sky.

Looks beautiful Tom! Hope you played well..

the ups magic package stalker app says my new callaway xr 5-iron is in town and out for delivery so i should get it today. that is good it is arriving today because after my last round of golf, if it had arrived anytime between last sunday and yesterday i would've just wrapped the stupid club around a tree. but i'm feeling much better now.

i got my new xr 5-iron as expected yesterday and damn is she pretty. so smooth, nice little cavity in the back, two piece trampoline magic sweet spot on the front, a couple of small details that match with my second-run callaway clubs, a natural.

wooo hooo! now i have a 5-iron! no more of those stupid hybrids and no more trying to stretch a 6-iron. just hit my 3 wood off the tees and keep my head down, 5 iron for the follow up shots, maybe chip with a wedge when i get close, and that stupid putter that always take at least 3 shots to find the goldam cup.

i feel like a groom on the eve before my wedding day, i can't even look at her, just gonna use it tomorrow.
