      The only thing I can guess is the amount he talks about things other than golf in between shots is a lot more than some other golf youtubers with more subscribers. I don’t mind it, but to the average viewer who has the attention span of a squirrel, I can see them getting annoyed and just wanting to see the golf and choosing not to watch his videos next time. He’s great if you ask me though!

    Been watching your content for a while now Zac, I used to play golf when I was in high school. Now I’m in college and just started playing again a few months ago. I play about 3-4 times a week and hit on the range about 4 times every week. I have improved my game so much in just a short time. I shoot in the low forty’s and an occasional high 30. Love watching your videos and your tips helped me a lot in fixing my swing and just getting better at the game in general. Keep up the good work. If you’re ever in Arkansas, I’ll have to come watch you play a round.

    They are bighorn sheep. The cactus is called purple prickly pear. They yield a fruit called “tuna” which can be consumed in a variety of modes. The tuna offer loads of vitamin C and the native Americans used the plant to reduce inflammation. I harvest the tuna, boil them for twenty minutes, and strain the juice. Add cinnamon and honey for taste and you have a nice elixir which helps the joints.

    Great video Zac! My fav golf course designers are: Alister Mackenzie and Pete Dye, because of their thorough design of every little hump, angles, and deception of looking wide open from the tees (which it isn't) to looking like a tunnel from the tee yet, opens up dramatically after 100 yards by the latter.

Had the absolute pleasure of caddying for his son John when I was a Caddie at the Famous INVERNESS CLUB of Toledo, Ohio from 2015-2016. If you're ever in the OH/MI area he has some really great tracks that should try and play. Keep up the amazing work and great video!

    The late Mike Strantz (Tobacco Road) and Rob Collins (Sweetens Cove).
    Couple of guys designed a back 9 to Sweetens in the PGA2K21 video game and Rob Collins went on a live stream with them and discussed the design as well as the history of the course. Just a genuine guy and Sweetens Cove is def on my bucket list!

    Great playing Zac! Hope you got to play Bear’s Best, Rio Secco, and Paiute - Wolf...3 of my favorites while stationed in Vegas, but I never played Cascata. Also, that desert area you asked about in right next to the biggest solar panel field I’ve ever seen.

    Hey Zac greetings from Mexico!! Love your videos, the format is great as you explain the course conditions and your game plan in every hole, like what club you are using. The best in UA-cam, keep the videos coming our way

    Another great vid Zac. I'm taking notes on some of the courses you've played in the desert southwest. I'm from Carmel but that region and southern Oregon is where I like to play.
    My favorite GC architects? Mackenzie and Fazio.

    I played this course end of March. Awesome Track, one of my favs. You scored much better than I did though.(LOL). Always look forward to your videos, keep them coming!!!

    Our guys annual golf trip to LV has played many courses over the years but this one is ALWAYS on the list. The greens are so hard to read until you remember everything runs back to the valley. Your shots on 18 (hitting somewhat blind) were amazing - never seen anyone reach the green in two! Tom Fazio and Pete Dye from the modern era and Donald Ross from the old school. And a question. If you had only one course to play - everything being equal - is it Wolf Creek or Cascata?

    Beautiful course, driven by several times, it’s a bit out of my price range. There’s another course not to far from there in Boulder called Boulder Creek, very nice course! Great playing Zac!
