Hello February!

Feb 02

That means there are only 5-6 weeks left of the cold weather we get out here in the Vegas Valley and also Daylight Savings Time begins right around the same time frame! Longer days are always a plus when it comes to golf! You don’t have to worry about not finishing your round because of slow play and you can make that tee time a little bit later in the day,...
