What a US Open Finish! Another major where Jim Furyk and Tiger Woods couldn’t close the deal. It just shows how hard it really is to win a major. This was Tiger’s 4th second place; he is only 15 behind Nicklaus in that department.

Anthony Kim had a great showing in his first US Open, firing the low round of the day with a 67 on Sunday. He moved from 57th to 20th. He was only one of 8 players to fire an under-par round during the tournament. Anthony has gotten the reputation on the tour as being "Mr. Sunday;” in fact, he leads the tour in final day scoring.

This past week, summer finally set in, with temperatures reaching the 100’s and 110’s. General Manager Brandon O'Neill was a guest of the local CBS affiliate to discuss how golfers should prepare for the hot temperatures when playing golf. Brandon’s tips included having proper headwear, sun screen, and drinking plenty of liquids. He suggested staying away from liquids that are diaretics like alcohol, and drinks with large amounts of caffeine. Having a wet towel at all times will help keep your body cooler. Find shaded areas as much as possible on the golf course.

The McGladrey Team Championship is coming! Sign up your 3 person team for this new and exciting qualifier for a national event. We have information sheets in the golf shop or you can go online to www.mcgladreyteamchampionship.com to get more details.

We are taking entries for this year’s "Red, White, and Blue Tournament." The entry fee is $20.00 plus your green fee. For Annual Pass Holders and Punchcard holders you will just pay the $20.00 entry fee. Each player must play 6 holes from the Red Tees, 6 holes from the White Tees, and 6 holes from the Blue Tees. We will pay out 1/3 of the field. We will have a Men’s Division and a Ladies Division. Anyone playing in the Red, White, and Blue tournament can book earlier than your normal holiday booking window of 2 days out.

On the retail side, we have two exciting sales going on right now. The $59.00 shirt and hat special has been going strong. Thru the end of June all men’s and ladies golf shoes will be 30% off. This is for in-stock items only. Friday the 29th, the Azul Restaurant at Trilogy is offering an all you can eat Pasta night. This special night will be limited to the first 60 reservations. Time to get out of the kitchen and spend a great evening with friends and family in the coolness of the Azul Restaurant at Trilogy.

Isaias and his staff in the Azul Restaurant continue to deliver some of the finest meals in the desert! I invite you to our happy hour from 3pm to 5pm.

Sales of the Monarch Pass and the Summer Coupon program continue to see growth; both are a great way to play one of the best conditioned golf courses in the desert for a fraction of the cost.

Also check out our website for the new weekly specials that will include the popular Bridgestone Laddie Extreme golf balls and lunch, plus our "Supersize Your Round" special. At the time of purchasing your round you can pay an additional $5.00 to play all day.

Until next week keep rolling that rock!
