Fifth Annual Longbow Golf Fest Approaching

Longbow to host the Longbow Golf Fest on Saturday, January 24, 2009

Mesa’s Longbow Golf Club will host the fifth annual Longbow Golf Fest on Saturday, January 24, 2009; beginning at 9 a.m.

This community golf event is designed to introduce new golfers to the game, provide a venue for avid golfers to hone their skills and test new equipment from major golf equipment manufacturers. Attendees will have the opportunity to demo as well as purchase (at preferred prices) the latest golf equipment from major manufacturers such as Ping, Nike, Titleist, Cleveland Golf and more. As an added bonus, the first 100 people in attendance will receive a complimentary ticket to the upcoming FBR Open.

There will be numerous instructional opportunities available throughout the day as Longbow’s staff of teaching professionals will be on hand giving free lessons. In addition, a complimentary golf clinic geared towards junior golfers will be held. A raffle featuring great prizes (and benefiting junior golf) will be held throughout the day. Last year’s event raised much needed funds for area junior golf programs.

"We are looking forward to hosting the fifth annual Longbow Golf Fest,” said Jay Larscheid, general manager for Longbow Golf Club. “With free lessons offered throughout the day, club demos and a complimentary junior clinic, Golf Fest provides a great opportunity for the whole family to get into the game of golf.”
