Sedona, AZ

I made it to Sedona, AZ last Saturday for some much needed break from the massive amount of golf in Scottsdale. So far I've managed to put 1765 miles on my car during this trip. My body definitely needed to take a rest from all the torquing from the golf swing. Before I left Phoenix, Hwan and I managed to play both courses (36 holes) at Troon North Golf Club on Wednesday and another round at Quintero Golf Club on Thursday. Those three courses are probably the most picturesque on all the courses we played in the Phoenix area.

Sedona has been pretty chill and I'm staying right on a golf resort. I explored the area a bit yesterday and took pictures of the area. I have never seen some of the red rocks before and some of the views are just breath taking. I managed to bring out my DSLR and snapped some vivid pictures of the red rocks as the sun is setting. The sunset brings out a bright red glow off the red rocks. It was fun to play around with my DSLR again since I haven't really touched it since the Europe trip 1.5 years ago.

After a good 4 days of rest, I was itching to get out on the course today. I booked a round at Sedona Golf Resort (the place I'm staying at) and played as a single for about 12 holes before I joined a threesome to finish out. I knew it was gonna be windy but didn't expect a 40mph wind on the course. The wind was so strong that it would move the ball when I was setting up to putt. The course was scenic with views of the red rocks from a far. I was able to take some panoramic shots with my iPhone from the 10th hole. Didn't shoot super well today but I did manage to score a birdie on the 18th hole. I hit an 8 iron on my second shot to about 1 foot from the cup. Not a bad way to finish the round.

Below are some of the pic...enjoy!
