February 2014: Las Sendas Golf Club Features Entertainment, Dining & Golf

Murder Mystery Dinner Live Theater Production

Thursday, March 20, 6 p.m.

The Vistas Pavilion, in partnership with Murder Ink Productions, is pleased to present an evening of mystery and murder. There are 14 amazing actors, and the entire room is the stage. Your mystery experience starts as you walk up the steps and enter the scene.

As the play unfolds—Marco Vincente, the big cheese from Las Sendas Movies Inc., opens the doors to his swanky speakeasy—Las Sendas Nightclub. Everyone who is anyone will be putting on the Ritz at this 1920s-themed murder mystery, including the up and coming starlet, Babette Delight; the playboy director, Richard Famous; and the gossip queen of Hollywood, Paige Turner. The word on the street is Felicity Fox is looking to break her contract with Las Sendas Movies Inc., and will do anything to get away from her ex-husband, Marco, and his gold-digger wife. H-m-m-m-m. What does she mean by anything?

The price is $90 per person (plus tax and gratuity) and includes a four-course dinner. For tickets, please send an e-mail to Erica Gomez, egomez@lassendas.com, or call her at (480) 396-4000.

Golf Tips from Mike Malaska

It’s that time of year for everyone to make their New Year’s resolutions. This year, how about making a resolution that will help your golf game. Resolve to spend equal or more time practicing your short game as you do on your full swing. The majority of the players who come to take a lesson from me are looking for a quick fix, or the one way they can improve their game the fastest. Without a doubt, from 100 yards to the green and in is the answer to that question. The more proficient you get with your wedges and putter, the less stressful it will be when you miss a fairway or a green.

One easy tip to help on the golf course is to try and read the green before you even get to it. Watch not only your shot into the green, but those of your playing partners. Seeing how the ball reacts will tell you a lot about the way the green breaks. Then, as you approach the green, pay attention to how it sits—identify the high and low sides before thinking about where your ball is. Your read will be more accurate because it is easier to see the slope of a green before you get to it rather than when you are standing on it.
