Take a Scottsdale Golf VacationWritten by Joan Ewart
Take a Scottsdale Golf Vacation. Okay all you golfers, looking for a different kind of golf vacation, try Scottsdale! Golf in desert, crème de la crème, or even if it is expensive, it’s an experience you should have at least once before you die – probably more. You owe yourself a Scottsdale golf vacation.Lee Trevino, well known for his quips and sayings, once said of desert golf, “It’s like a voyage into unknown”. The first desert course, Desert Highlands, was designed and built by Jack Nicklaus and Scott Miller in mid 1980’s, and it was home to first “skins game”. It also was beginning of building boom of golf courses in Arizona. Taking advantage of desert terrain, approximately 350 new golf courses have been built since that time. Most golfers are looking to play a different kind of golf course when they plan their trip to Scottsdale, enough already of traditional courses that they play every weekend back home…and desert courses fill bill. The game is same, whether it’s on a tree-lined fairway or meandering along a desert fairway. The maximum allowance for turf is 90 acres, so there’ll be a lot of desert around you…plus arroyos (dry washes – hopefully), critter warnings (maybe rattlesnakes, possible roadrunners), jumping chollas (they will reach out and grab you, just brush against one and you’ll have enough cactus spines on you to last day) and of course giant Saguaros that will gobble up your ball if it goes that way. Didn’t we tell you it would be an adventure?

First of all, you should choose a good diving mask, which adapts to your face and fits it properly. With your diving mask, you should also buy a defogging solution which will allow you to avoid having fogging problems while you dive. The most important aspect to which you must pay attention to when you buy a new diving mask and snorkel is way it fits your face. The mask you buy must fit you perfectly or otherwise water might enter into it and become a big problem. You should also make sure that your snorkel can be attached to mask without any problems. If your mask's strap is too wide or too narrow for your snorkel to be properly attached to it, you might have to look for another mask.
