Kerry,
Just check the 10 day forecast for Mesquite mid to upper 90′s sure beats 62 F rainy and damp on my golf league last night getting tired of this weather.
Need some dry heat bring it ON!! I know, I know I said it before cannot wait!!!!! Sorry.
David
It’s got some 100′s in it now.
I’m not sure you’re actually old enough to be in that super seniors flight Stan? You might want to bring your birth certificate for us to examine. I’m going to miss playing with you and that old coot Kim, who is also abandoning the seniors for the super seniors. Our bet’s still on though:) Look forward to seeing everyone again this year!
Still have a spot for a monday morning practice round on casablanca. Cost is 60 bucks. The time is 7:50 am let me know …joharegolf@aol.com

I’m still waiting to hear some times on the shuttle from Las Vegas to Mesquite. Would a person and his wife really need a rental car if they plan on just playing golf in the tournament and hanging around the Mesquite area.
Bobby,
Just need to find someone in your flight to give you a ride to your courses. People generally offer when they find out you need one. I rented a full size car on Priceline on a bid of $16 a day for 7 days. A friend of mine got a midsize for $14 a day for 7 days. Both were provided by Hertz. Taxes and fees were added. I have always been happy with Name Your Price on Priceline.
Bobby,
You can do the shuttle and see about car pooling to the courses each day. Mesquite is a smaller town but I always recommend a rental car as it just gives you that freedom to move around town. All the courses that are located in Mesquite are within 10 minutes of the CasaBlanca but not walking distance.
So I would recommend to renting a car.

David,
Your Buds like mine keep saying they have it on their bucket list. But things this good should not be put off. Bucket lists never seem to empty before it is too late.

I look forward every year to do this and if there is nothing else I do, I want to be doing it in Mesquite playing golf you all you guys!!!

I was just looking over the FAQ’s and Rules of Play, and noticed that we are beyond the date to decide not to play and get no money back. So I guess I will have to come and do my best. George I would love to play the Ledges again. Have only played it once, with my Father & son. But I have already committed to play Oasis-Canyons on Saturday. Besides, You low HI’s would not want this High HI to show you up. See you all next weekend.
Man that seems soon, Next Weekend.
