The Buzzsaw Taking Prep Rounds Across the Country...

Well Cuppers, we are now within the one month mark for the start of the 2017 Desert Cup!!  I hope each of you are getting in prep rounds... though I hope Team Walker is playing more than the Southers!

One Cupper that is taking things seriously is the Buzzsaw, Matt Fankhauser.  This guy appears to be taking his clubs on business trips to make sure he's in top form.  He are some picts from his recent rounds.  

If you've got photos, send them and I'll post them...

Fank's Kansas Round was held at the Falcon Ridge Golf Club. According, well, to it's own site, "Falcon Ridge Golf Club is nationally recognized as one of the best public golf courses in the Midwest. Located in the southwest suburbs of Kansas City, Falcon Ridge is set among the rolling hills of western Lenexa. Perfectly manicured zoysia tees and fairways lead golfers to some of the best bent grass greens in Kansas City. With beautiful views and unmatched customer service, Falcon Ridge Golf Club offers an unforgettable golf experience for every occasion."

Fank's other round was at the venerable Texas Star Golf Course in Dallas, Texas. The course has been ranked by Golf Digest, the Dallas Morning News, and Travel & Leisure Golf.

Course Preview - The Golf Club at Dove Mountain

Gents, today we are taking a look at Dove Mountain, which is home to the Desert Cup for rounds 2 and 3.  Dove Mountain is actually a combination of three nine-hole courses designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus.  The resort was home to the Accenture Match Play, now called the WGC-Cadillac Match Play. Below are some pictures, as well as reviews of the courses we'll be playing.

Cuppers Getting Ready

Good morning, Fellas, from the lovely hamlet of Casablanca, Morocco.  Apologies for slacking on the blog and the lack of content.  Work has not been friendly.

As I stated in my email, one new feature to this year's blog is to show pictures of you all getting ready for this year's weekend in Tucson.  

In the coming weeks, we'll have golf course reviews and some additional interviews for you all to read.  

Without further ado...

Here is a young Woods getting ready for what Bob is calling the future "Fathers vs. Sons" event
