TIME FOR A GOLF BAG MAKEOVER!

Are you sick and tired of getting out driven by your buddies? Would your golf clubs be better off in a golf museum than in your bag? Are there days when you actually wish the airlines would lose your luggage…or at least your golf clubs?

It sounds like you are due for a golf bag makeover. The end of January and February are big months for the golf equipment industry, as all the latest and greatest trends in technology are unveiled and released at the PGA Show, in Orlando, Florida.

We jumped on the bandwagon, and picked up a terrific assortment of demo clubs, so you can try it before you buy it. We have stocked the shop with many of the great new releases, and, as always, we are happy to special order. So, come on in and see for yourself what all the hype is about. Try the new X2Hot woods and MacDaddy wedges, or see how you like the newly released golf ball by Callaway, Speed Regime 1, 2 or 3. The latest trend in putters is the new SuperStroke grip, and we’ve got them on the new Odyssey putters. We also have four Titleist Trail sets (913 woods and AP1 or AP2 irons).

Is Ping more your style? We have the Ping I25 woods, released just Feb. 13, as well as the latest in Ping putters. Time to stop letting your buddies take your money on the course. Step up your game. While you are doing your makeover, you might as well refresh your look with a hot new golf bag, from Ping or Callaway. See you at the club.

BASEBALL

We have stocked the Golf Shop with Diamondbacks gear, as well as all your local favorite Cactus League teams. This year, when you head out to the ballgame, be sure to Support your Team and Wear Your Las Sendas Pride as you cheer them on.

TEE TIMES

Things are in full swing here at the golf course, with all of the winter residents, as well as oodles of visitors escaping the cold to enjoy the beautiful Valley of the Sun. The golf course is filling up weeks out, very quickly. So, please be sure to reserve your tee times early to ensure yourself a spot. The best way to book your time is to go to our Web site at www.lassendas.com. Here, not only will you find information about our golf course, amenities, and the facility, but it also is where we post our lowest rates first.
