ENTERTAINMENT
Live Dinner Theater
Thursday, March 20, at 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 1920’s-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. Hmmm, what does she mean by anything?
The price is $90 per person, and includes a four-course dinner. For tickets, send an e-mail to egomez@lassendas.com, or call Erica at (480) 396-4000.

Golf Tips from Mike Malaska
This month, I want to talk about the dreaded shot out of the sand. Bunker shots are the hardest shots for amateurs to hit, and the easiest shots for the pros to hit. Why should it be the easiest? Because you actually are trying to miss the ball, giving yourself more room for error. You don’t have to pick the club up, and hit dramatically down into the sand. You only have to hit and throw sand out from under the ball. Think about hitting the bunker shot so the sand carries the ball with it. If you set up with your shoulders level (parallel to the ground), hit just an inch or two behind the ball, and feel like you throw the sand at the target. You’ll soon be agreeing with the pros.
