Adidas Launches New Shoe at Shriners’ Vegas Tour Stop

adidas Golf is launching a new shoe with two technologies that are going to be only available in adidas Golf through 2011. This new shoe, the TOUR 360 4.0 will be officially launched at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open from Oct. 11- 18, 2009. 

The event which is held at the TPC Summerlin, is expecting a solid field including. Celebrity sightings are promised with the Wednesday Championship Pro-Am and the always entertaining Evening with Justin Timberlake & Friends slated for Saturday at the Mandalay Bay.

Golfers from California and Nevada are about to agree with this recent quote from well-known announcer, Ben Wright. The golf icon commented not only on the grandeur of the scenery, reminding him of “his home in Scotland,” but also on the “golfing rewards” to be found on all nine courses: Carson Valley, Dayton Valley, Eagle Valley East and West, Empire Ranch, Genoa Lakes Golf Club – The Lakes & The Resort, Silver Oak and Sunridge.

Located within 35 miles of easy-to-reach Carson City, the Divine 9 seem to be transforming Nevada’s capital into the capital of year-round golf destinations. And no wonder. The area’s unique natural terrain, temperate climate and favorable elevation (at 4,600 feet, golfers can expect 10 percent more distance from their drives) have attracted some of golf’s leading course designers, including Arnold Palmer, Johnny Miller, John Harbottle and Peter Jacobsen.
