A Closer Look, Las Sendas Golf Club…is a monthly column written for the Up Close Publication by Las Sendas Golf Club. In this column, you will get an in-depth look at upcoming entertainment, dining and golf events. Our brand is our mission—to reach out to the community with entertainment, dining and golf events as your pathway to fun, recreation and a pleasurable lifestyle.
COMMUNITY PRIDE
Las Sendas Golf Club is proud to announce its new campaign called Wear Your Pride for Las Sendas Residents and Golf Club Members. In our Golf Shop, we will begin carrying products, which are much more than golf attire. We will carry lifestyle wear, active wear and a significant selection of giftware and products—all with the Las Sendas logo.
To date, we have realized tremendous support from the community, including all our neighbors who may or may not be golfers. We would like to thank all those who have supported and enjoyed our restaurants, pro shop and golf course. Our goal is to get everyone in the spirit of community, and proudly display the Las Sendas logo on a sleeve, hat or maybe a wine glass. The Golf Shop is gearing up with a great selection of items. Please drop by, and take a look. We have Christmas gift ideas galore.
ENTERTAINMENT
LIVE…AT LAS SENDAS is pleased to present Andrew Johns on Thursday, Nov. 14, along with our amazing Chef’s Grand Buffet. Andrew is a musician and comedian with just a few keyboards, drums, a ton of talent and a huge diverse repertoire. Andrew has been compared to the late entertainer Victor Borge, as his sometimes goofy nature and cerebral sense of humor can shine through, usually at the appropriate moments. He also can be described as a combination of Billy Joel and Elton John, with fabulous renditions of both artists, as well as many other popular pianists and soloists.
Andrew’s amazing vocal range allows him to tackle everything from light opera, including Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera, all the way over to impersonating Louis Armstrong, Norah Jones, Macy Gray and Led Zeppelin.
With his vocal expertise, you will hear harmonies you’re not sure how or from where they are coming. Mostly, it’s thanks to his classical piano background and perfect pitch as a child, which has led to the amazing ability to mimic and cover so many genres and styles. Basically, if he’s heard it, he can play it.
The Chef’s Grand Buffet is from 6 to 8 p.m., and the show begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $60 per person or a table of eight for $400. Only 200 tickets will be sold. To purchase tickets or a table, please call Erica at (480) 396-4000, or send an e-mail to egomez@lassendas.com.
