Summary

487: The Pascua Yaqui Tribe knew they wanted to work within the topography of the high sonoran desert to honor its natural gifts and wonders when it came to designing a golf course. They hired former PGA Tour player and fellow native american, Notah Begay to design the Sewailo Golf Course at the Casino Del Sol Resort in Tucson, AZ. This challenging course measures 7,400 yards from the championship tees, with 5 different tee boxes on each hole to allow for players of all abilities. This week host Fred Greene travels to Tucson to discover what else the state has to offer beyond golf in Scottsdale, and he sits down with Head Golf Professional Spencer Cody to discuss this Troon managed gem. Spencer's closing tip to help with your putting distance control is also a video available at http://YouTube.com/GolfSmarterTVFor exclusive content and first access check out Corrected Mistakes on Substack: https://substack.com/@correctedmistake Learn more about your ad choices.
