2016 Girls Golf Day - Papago Park - Phoenix, AZ
The AWGA was a proud sponsor of Phoenix' Girls Golf Day on Saturday, September 3rd, and as you can see from this video it was a beautiful day to be out at Papago Golf Course!
This year's event featured a meet-and-greet with Hannah O’Sullivan, as well as a golf clinic, tournament, golf expo, food, and tons of family fun. It was wonderful to see so many young girls take part, and in fact the tournament drew its biggest field ever, with 85 girls ages 3-17 participating!
Thanks to everyone who attended and visited the AWGA booth. And a big shout out to Girls Golf of Phoenix and the First Tee for putting together another successful event for both girls who already play and those who picked up a club for the first time Saturday.

TRUE MYSTERY NAZIS IN PAPAGO PARK PHOENIX AZ MYTHS LEGENDS AND LIES J.SCHRECK
The Great Papago Escape was the largest Axis prisoner-of-war escape to occur from an American facility during World War II. On the night of December 23, 1944, twenty-five Germans tunneled out of Camp Papago Park, near Phoenix, Arizona, and fled into the surrounding desert. All of the escapees were eventually recaptured without bloodshed over the next few weeks, and although most were detained within Maricopa County, a few nearly made it to the border of Mexico, which is about 130 miles south of the camp.[Wattenberg began planning an escape just as soon as he arrived at the camp, and he chose the blind spot to be the location of the tunnel's entrance. The blind spot was right next to a bathhouse, which was the structure closest to the camp's eastern perimeter, so Wattenberg had his men start the tunnel from inside the building. The idea was that when the Germans went to take a shower, they could easily sneak down into the tunnel to dig instead. To hide the entrance of the tunnel, the Germans removed part of the wooden wall inside the bathhouse and placed a large box full of coal in front of it. Wattenberg also asked the Americans to give his men tools, such as shovels, ostensibly for work in their gardens and the construction of a volleyball field, but really for use in the tunnel. Because Arizona's soil is known for being rocky and compact, the Americans never expected that the Germans might use the tools for digging a tunnel, and so the latter received two shovels and two rakes, which were to be turned in at the end of every day.[7][8]
Work on the tunnel began sometime in September 1944 and was carried out by three groups of three men, who worked for ninety-minute shifts during the night. One man would dig with a pick and coal shovel, the second would gather the dirt with a bucket, and the third would pull the dirt out of the shaft and keep watch. A fourth group would get rid of the dirt. At first, the Germans flushed the dirt down the toilets, hid it in the attics, or dropped it down their pant legs into the gardens, but after the tunnel started getting long they began spreading it out on the volleyball field. The Americans never noticed all of the dirt. Because the volleyball field was still under construction, the guards became used to seeing piles of dirt and thought nothing of them. When the Germans completed their tunnel on December 20 it measured 178 feet (54 m) long, from the bathhouse east to the Cross Cut Canal, with a six-foot vertical entrance shaft. Other preparations were made as well. Wattenberg managed to secure both new clothing and fake documents for his men, including contact information for people in Mexico who would help them get back to Germany. He also rationed the food in order to save some for the escape and made arrangements to have other prisoners who were staying behind celebrate loudly on the night of December 23, in order to create a distraction

Background[edit]
Camp Papago Park was built in 1943 and located in Papago Park, a public recreational area in eastern Phoenix. Initially, the camp was to be used for Italian prisoners, but by January 1944 it had been designated for use by the Germans only, most of whom were from the Kriegsmarine. The camp consisted of five separate compounds; one for officers and the rest for enlisted men. At its peak, the population of the camp was about 3,100, excluding the 371 American guards and officers. Camp Papago Park was a typical prison camp in terms of appearance, surrounded by barbed wire and watch towers, but it was unusual in that prisoners were not required to work or study. However, to combat boredom, many of the Germans volunteered to work in the nearby cotton fields and the like.[1][4]

Scottsdale, and Phoenix Arizona
In my visit to Phoenix, and Scottsdale Arizona I learn that the area is one of the best for golf enthusiasts, but beyond that there aren't very many attractions. The weather is great and the low population in the surrounding area means you have a lot of privacy. It has high end shopping and wild west west style themed points of interest.
I visited the old town Scottsdale, Taliesin West and then Phoenix at night.
