First Five-Layer Tour Ball Delivers a Superior Balance of Performance in Five Key Shot Categories
TaylorMade Golf introduces Penta TP, a new tour ball designed to deliver a superior balance of performance in five key shot categories, the result of three years of research and development.
"We spend a lot of time with tour pros asking questions," said Dean Snell, head of TaylorMade golf ball R&D. "Most think the ball they play is lacking somewhere. Some say their ball performs great in the short game but costs them distance, while other players said the opposite about their ball. Some feel their ball performs great off the middle and short irons but isn't long enough off the tee
and doesn't spin enough on short shots.

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.

Former Wall Street Journal columnist Jonathan Clements once compared making the most of your golden years to stretching your dollar during a lengthy stay in a certain well-illuminated party and entertainment haven.
“Retirement is like a long vacation in Las Vegas,” Clements wrote. “The goal is to enjoy it to the fullest, but not so fully that you run out of money.” One company has made that possible for years in Las Vegas, and will now look to expand and diversify the scope of its discount offerings to benefit golfers.
Tix Corporation has earned the reputation as the leading half-price ticket provider in Las Vegas by providing Sin City visitors and residents access to reduced rates for shows, concerts, dinners, attractions and sporting events.
In 2008 Tix Corporation acquired the trusted discount golf service
Standby Golf, which began its operation in 1975 in Palm Springs, and
will now extend preferred Vegas rates to traveling and local golfers.
