How does the rugged beauty of Royal Troon compare to the challenges of Wildhorse Golf Course? This episode promises an inside look at both, starting with a warm welcome to our YouTube and Instagram viewers. We'll spotlight two local golf events making waves: the Shoes for Scholars initiative at Red Rock Country Club and the Southern Nevada Golf Association's 100-hole fundraiser at Angel Park on July 29th, supporting junior golf programs. Join us in celebrating these community efforts and discussing how we can all get more involved.

Next, we recount our recent rounds at Wildhorse Golf Course in Henderson, sharing our experiences with its Bermuda rough and the unique character of this municipal gem. From early morning rounds to encounters with fellow golfers like Brandon and shout-outs to friends like Jacob Massey, this segment is packed with personal stories and course insights. We delve into the history and layout of Wildhorse, highlighting some tricky holes and discussing how budget constraints and water restrictions have impacted course maintenance.
