The Jack Nicklaus design of the Golf Clubs at Dove Mountain was my second experience with a real desert course. When I played there, the temperature was 42°C in the shade. Only that there was no shade. My brain must have been pretty dried out because I can't really remember any of the holes. But I can remember a tee shot with a 5 Wood, which I had to hit in front of three locals. They let me play through and the ball flew an unbelievable 240 meters carry into a bunker. The gentlemen were very impressed, and to be honest I was too. I often hit bunkers, but usually not from 240 meters.
