Here we get to play through the course of Fountain Hills at Maricopa, Arizona with the local boy Drew Gibson. In this tactical training session, we see how Gibson practices for the Memorial Open and what kind of decisions he has to make to keep the score low. The conditions were far from perfect and the wind direction was from opposite direction than normal. This was a good challenge for everyone and you can see some amazing adaptability from the touring pro Gibson.
We also wanted to show you the difficulty of playing in these conditions so you can take notes and implement them into your game. It was nearly impossible to succeed on some of the holes but that's why Gibson threw extra shots to learn what works and what doesn't.
The layout is as close to the Memorial Open layout as possible, minus the banners and signs, and other bells and whistles. That is why the hole numbering might seem odd and differ from the ones you see on the tee signs.
Pay also attention to what happens on hole #2 - The story we share with you is amazing!
