Coach Beatty says:
"Silver City is a small town of about 15,000 residents. It is located in the foothills of the Gila Wilderness. If you go ten miles in either direction, you're either in the forest or in the desert.
This situation keeps the weather pretty nice -- not too hot in summer, nor too cold in winter. Don't be fooled -- this is not Phoenix or Florida -- we do occasionally get snow, but it seldom lasts more than one day.
Generally speaking, if you want to play golf, you usually can. And don't worry: there is a Taco Bell and various other fast food restaurants in town. For major shopping and entertainment, you'll have to travel a couple of hours to Tucson, Las Cruces, or El Paso.
So the big question is always: 'What's there to do?' Well, of course, the college coach answer is 'study and play golf.' If you do a great job at those two things, you won't have a lot of time to do the other things that, in my experience, tend to get players in trouble.
It's a small town. If you love nature, you'll have many options. If you love Applebee's and the mall, it's going to take lots of adjustment on your part."
