First Five-Layer Tour Ball Delivers a Superior Balance of Performance in Five Key Shot Categories

TaylorMade Golf introduces Penta TPTaylorMade 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.

Two Courses in One Print E-mail
Monday, 21 September 2009

Two Courses in OneGolf courses in Arizona face a unique challenge compared to courses in cooler climates. Golfers demand superior conditions year round. Since no turf presently exists that can thrive in both hot and “cooler” weather, we overseed.

Overseeding:
Warm season grass varieties, typically bermudagrass, are chosen as the base turf for courses that overseed. In the winter, they don’t “die out” rather they simply go dormant losing its green color and its recuperative potential. Dormant bermudagrass can offer an acceptable playing surface but it does not have the same visual appeal as an overseeded course.

Divine 9 Courses in Carson City/Carson Valley are Aptly Named Print E-mail
Friday, 28 August 2009

Empire Ranch Golf CourseGolfers 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.
