What's really killing golf in the U.S.? It's the ignorance and lack of use of free social media platforms and internet marketing to connect with and bring more golfers to your golf course.
This kind of situation is exactly why the desert rule was created for golf in the Sonoran Desert. You hit your ball into the desert out here you drop in the fairway near as you can determine where your ball entered the hazard and take a one-shot penalty. Even your shiniest ProV1 ain't worth searching [...]

If you favor a traditional golf experience in the desert this is the place. Lakes, tree lined fairways and gently rolling terrain define a Scottsdale course that has been a local favorite since 1988.

Players are lulled into a false [...]
Eagle Mountain Golf Club in East Scottsdale
Eagle Mountain Golf Club is one of those great golf courses – you could play it every day and not get tired of it. I am particularly partial to courses with hills, elevation and lots of character. Eagle Mountain has all of that and more. I challenge you to [...]
The Camelback Golf Club is another Scottsdale Golf Facility that, along with great golf, provides me with a shot of nostalgia whenever I get a chance to play there. A hundred years ago in 1991, I was a young go-getter, fairly new to Scottsdale and trying to make a name for myself in the Scottsdale [...]
On the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community just south and a bit west of Casino Arizona and the 101 Freeway lies the Talking Stick Golf Club. Managed by Troon Golf, this 36 hole Ben Crenshaw, Bill Coore designed facility is all you could ask for in a challenging but fair test of golf in the [...]
This is a 36 hole facility that I have enjoyed immensely throughout my years in Scottsdale but it took the Mid-West golfer in me to finally appreciate the concept they have created there. It's 36 holes of traditional golf in a desert setting smack in the middle of Scottsdale's "resort row," located as it is [...]
If you and your sticks have been idle for a while and you come to Scottsdale to play some golf this winter this is a good place to tune up your game before you hit the big courses. At 6,313 yards from the tips (Par 70) you can stretch those golf muscles without having to [...]
Up in the foothills of Scottsdale's McDowell Mountains and just north of the acclaimed Westworld equestrian center, home of the Barrett Jackson Classic Car Auction and the world-renowned Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show, lies the Sanctuary Golf Club, a SunCor Golf facility.

Meatloaf in Concert (Sunday, August 22nd, 2010 7:30 PM)
Rock legend Meat Loaf brings his North American summer tour to the Valleys intimate Celebrity Theatre at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 22nd with special guest, daughter Pearl Aday.
For the past 35 years, the man born Marvin Lee Aday has been a towering monument on the musical landscape. Meat Loafs legendary 1977 album Bat Out Of Hell transformed the former high school football player, nightclub bouncer and stage actor into one of the great American rock n roll icons. That record, with its staggering operatic sound and impassioned vocals, has sold more than 43 million albums worldwide - still one of the biggest selling records ever.
Now, more than 30 years after he exploded onto the world stage, Meat Loaf is back with a new record, Hang Cool Teddy Bear (a title taken from a line in the classic Russ Meyer trash movie Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls). The project was produced by Rob Cavallo and features guest appearances by Jack Black, Hugh Laurie, Kara DioGuardi, Queens Brian May and Steve Vai. Hang Cool is Meat Loafs 11th studio effort. From opener Peace On Earth to closer Elvis In Vegas, its 13 tracks drag the classic Meat Loaf sound kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Its the story of a soldier, reveals Meat Loaf. More than four decades into his career, the man - and his voice - is as big, bold and important as ever.
As the stepdaughter of legendary performer Meat Loaf, Pearl Aday was exposed to the genre and all it entails almost from the time she was born. She sang back for Meat Loaf from 1994 to 2003, then Motley Crue, and now has her own release entitled Little Immaculate White Fox.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Celebrity Theatre is conveniently located on 440 N. 32nd St., just 4 blocks south of the Loop 202 freeway, in Phoenix. Free parking! Tickets ($65, $80 and $95) are on sale at Celebrity Theatre or online at www. celebritytheatre.com. To charge by phone, call 602-267- 1600 ext. 1.
