New Mexico Golf — Short Sleeves in February
I was in my hometown of Las Cruces, New Mexico last week and my brother and I played the back nine at the New Mexico State University Golf Course, starting here at the Rich Beem tee at 10. It couldn’t have been a more perfect day: 72 degrees with a cool breeze. A far cry from the ice and snow of Minnesota. My round started off with a small mishap, however, when I broke my sister-in-law’s driver at the driving range warming up. I’m not sure what happened, but when I hit the ball, it sounded hollow. I looked down and here’s what I found:
Oops. And that wasn’t my only blooper. NMSU’s course is a beautiful desert course and my ball managed to find a yucca. I was looking around on the ground for my ball when someone in our group pointed out where it landed:
Here’s a closeup in case you can’t see where the ball ended up:
This was a fun nine holes despite (or maybe because of) these goofy incidents and the scenery was gorgeous. Here’s a shot as the sun started going down, with the NMSU campus and Las Cruces in the background.

Very nice article. I’m learning more about becoming a better golfer from your website, then I’ve ever did from even my own golf instructor. Hope it’s ok that I share this post on Del.Icio.us?
