Hybrex Golf is proud to
announce the addition of a new series of driver shafts for 2008. The Hybrex
brand and its initial Helix Tourä line of premium
high-performance shafts was established in 2006 around a patented technology
(ExoGridÒ) and the opportunity to
create the ideal shaft for the growing category of hybrid clubs.
An
evolution in the core ExoGrid technology enabled Hybrex designers to remove
weight, creating the first viable driver shafts. However, these new Helix Tour
driver shafts possess the same ultra low-torque performance as the hybrid shaft
that helped Padraig Harrington capture the 136th British Open
Championship at Carnoustie Links.

Michael Allen walked out of the clubhouse at Grayhawk Golf Club Sunday afternoon with a smile on his face and his Harley-Davidson leather jacket unzipped to the cool fall breeze. The 48-year-old longtime Scottsdale resident didn’t look like a guy who had turned an opening round 63 and a two-shot lead for the $900,000 first prize at the Fry’s Electronics Open into a tie for 55th and a check for a little more than 10-grand. He was still disappointed in his final round 78, mind you, but Michael Allen’s always seemed like a “big picture” guy, and the big picture still had his family, a good bottle of wine and his Harley in it, and most importantly, a secure job for 2008.

Limousine Service for a Round of Golf? Why Not!
A limousine (or limo) is a long luxury car, traditionally black or white in color, driven by chauffeurs and are often associated with the wealthy.
The most common uses for limousines include: business travel, airport transportation, weddings, bachelor/ette parties, birthday events, city tours, shopping, a day at the spa, a night-on-the town, etc. In Greater Phoenix, we can now add a trip to the golf course to this established list.

This IS Big!
Before you say, “Oh boy, another shopping center golf store,” look at the name PGA TOUR and look behind the name, at the people behind the idea to connect you to a golf experience that was previously reserved for the TOUR pros themselves. Then you’ll likely understand why the two new PGA TOUR Superstores opening this fall in Chandler and Scottsdale are something different, and special, and certainly something you haven’t seen before.
So what’s different? Lots of golf shops have clubs, some will even help fit those particular clubs they do have to you. But the PGA TOUR Superstore caters to the entire golf lifestyle, with a complete range of equipment, expert assistance, state-ofthe- art technology, apparel and an assortment of accessories, artwork and “stuff you haven’t seen” anywhere else.

Desert Forest Golf Club has achieved an elite ranking once again, this time from GOLF Magazine.
In the just released 2007 list of Top 100 Courses in the U.S., Desert Forest was ranked No. 78, moving up from No. 79 in 2005. Desert Forest has been named in GOLF Magazine's Top 100 since 1997. Desert Forest, designed and built by Red Lawrence, opened in 1962, and is the only Arizona golf course to earn a top-100 ranking by the publication.
Joe Passov, architecture and course rankings editor for GOLF Magazine, said Desert Forest probably scores high in several categories for several reasons. "I can only speculate as to why our course panelists feel so strongly about Desert Forest year after year,” Passov said, “but if I had to guess, it would be that there is immense admiration for the classic, lay-of-the-land design, one that demands old-fashioned ball-striking and thoughtful course management. There's nothing forced or out of place, nor even a hint of artificiality. It's just a great test of golf, with holes that are seamlessly slotted into the natural terrain."

Twenty years after its inception, the Desert Course at TPC Scottsdale is being completely rebuilt under the direction of golf course architect Randy Heckenkemper – who served as part of Tom Weiskopf’s original design team in 1987. The project was initiated by PGA TOUR Golf Course Properties in collaboration with the City of Scottsdale to elevate the course to PGA TOUR tournament quality as well as provide local residents with an outstanding amenity that complements the Club’s Stadium Course – home to the FBR Open. Construction on the course began in January 2007 and is scheduled to be completed in November 2007. Consistent with the quality of the new course and as a tribute to the many “champions” who have made contributions to the game of golf and to the community of Scottsdale, the new course has been renamed the Champions Course.

Marriott’s Canyon Villas at Desert Ridge, straddles the border between North Phoenix and North Scottsdale. The surrounding Arizona landscape is the stuff of Hollywood Westerns – looming desert mountains that turn a rich purple in the setting sun, towering cactus that cast long shadows across the desert loor and evening skies that look as if they were hand painted. Yet all of this is just minutes from exceptional dining, shopping, nightlife and of course world-class golf and spas.
