PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — It’s a golf getaway like no other, as it offers the chance to see golf’s four major winners (The Masters, U.S. Open, Open Championship & PGA Championship) up close in a competition to determine the 2011 PGA Grand Slam of Golf champion. The PGA of America recently introduced the PGA Grand Slam Getaway, an excursion for golf travelers to the beautiful island of Bermuda to play multiple rounds of golf while watching a season-ending showcase event that boasts the most difficult requirement in the game – a Major Championship.

The 29th PGA Grand Slam of Golf, which takes place at the Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda, October 18-19, will be headlined this year by 2011 PGA Championship Winner Keegan Bradley, 2011 Open Championship Winner Darren Clarke, 2011 U.S. Open Champion Rory McIlroy and 2011 Masters Champion Charl Schwartzel.

As part of the excitement surrounding the PGA Grand Slam of Golf and the island of Bermuda, which boasts seven spectacular golf courses, The PGA of America has created 3-, 4- and 5-night PGA Grand Slam Getaway golf packages that include: luxurious accommodations at The Fairmont Southampton; breakfast daily; admission for 3 days to the PGA Grand Slam of Golf event at Port Royal Golf Course; daily transfers to/from the hotel to Port Royal; and championship golf on the acclaimed Fairmont Southampton, Riddell’s Bay or Belmont golf courses. The package prices, which include tax, range from $615-$1,170 per person, based on double occupancy, length of stay and rounds of golf. Golfers interested in purchasing the getaway packages from The PGA of America can visit www.premiergolf.com or call 1-866-260-4409.

The PGA Grand Slam of Golf features a $1.35 million purse, with the winner receiving $600,000; second place $300,000; third place $250,000 and fourth place $200,000. TNT’s prime-time broadcast of the event reaches a worldwide audience of 88.9 million U.S. homes and international viewers in more than 100 countries.
Hosted by the Bermuda Department of Tourism, Port Royal Golf Course, and the Fairmont Southampton Hotel, The PGA Grand Slam of Golf was established in 1979 and has grown from an 18-hole, single-day charity event to a 36-hole annual showdown that matches professional golf’s best against each other. Ernie Els captured the 2010 PGA Grand Slam of Golf title at Port Royal.

From the moment he set eyes upon the Sonoran Desert in the late 1920s as a consulting architect on the Arizona Biltmore Resort in Phoenix, Wright was smitten. He eventually purchased 640 acres in what was then the distant outskirts of Scottsdale, where he spent more than two decades carving a residence and architecture school out of the McDowell Mountain foothills. Now a National Historic Landmark, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West is celebrating 75 years in 2012 and will mark this milestone with programming ranging from symposiums and concerts to special events and enhanced tours. The exhibition Frank Lloyd Wright: Organic Architecture for the 21st Century will be at the Phoenix Art Museum Dec. 15, 2011 through April 30, 2012 and feature 33 never-before-shown drawings by “America’s greatest architect” as well as rare home movies.

Let’s face it, grabbing a tasty treat at the airport isn’t always easy, affordable or appetizing, so Sky Harbor International Airport is taking airport dining to the next level. Nearly 5 million travelers make their way through Sky Harbor’s terminal four in a year, and thanks to a massive project set to launch in January 2012, they’ll have gourmet options to grab on the go.

Travelers should look for a slew of Sam Fox Restaurant Concepts like Sauce, Blanco Tacos & Tequila, Modern Burger and Olive & Ivy; Cowboy Ciao; Barrio Café; and Cartel Coffee Lab.

Scottsdale’s Sonoran Desert, only one of four major deserts in North America, is the most lush of its kind in the world. With so many ways to explore this sweeping expanse, visitors may not know where or how to begin their excursion. Stop by the Scottsdale Adventure Center located inside Scottsdale Fashion Square and check out the 3-D rock climber display, desert adventure video and on-site mountain bike to get a sneak peek at the adventure offerings available to travelers. Staff is on-site to answer questions, give suggestions, and assist with booking trips and tours like rock climbing, horseback riding, or hiking and biking through Scottsdale’s McDowell Sonoran Preserve – soon to be one of the nation’s largest preserves encompassing more than 36,000 acres.

Guests at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Gainey Ranch can find a one-stop-shop for planning all of their Scottsdale adventure activities – from right inside the resort lobby. Staff at 360 Adventures is on-site to help determine which outdoor excursions are best suited to your level of activity and personal interest. Choose from myriad of activities including self-driven Tomcar adventure in the desert to hot air balloon rides, and scenic tours of Sedona or the Grand Canyon.

Sandy River Outfitters just received a new territory from Manitoba
Natural Resources this summer. The area has not been hunted
for 5 years. They will be hunting it for the first time this fall bear season.

Since they just acquired this area and it is last minute they have decided
to give hunters that can book for this fall a $500 discount off the price
of their bear hunting and fishing all-inclusive package.

Current Special Offers

The regular price is $2950 plus 5% GST tax.
We are offering it for this fall only for $2450 plus 5% GST tax.
Bear licenses are $317 CDN.

On this Fall Bear Hunt, hunters can shoot one Coyote & one Timber Wolf
at no additional cost & then still shoot their bear!

Our hunts are 6 full days of hunting, hunters arrive in Winnipeg, the Sunday before the hunt, and hunt Monday to Saturday, and leave the Sunday after the hunt. Hunts are all inclusive, including travel from Winnipeg International Airport, to and from camp, or meet in Winnipeg if you are driving up. Food, lodging with all amenities, skinning and care of trophy, and licensed guides.

Boats, motors and gas are included in our bear hunting packages as our lodge is located on the Winnipeg River and there is excellent fishing for Walleye, Northern Pike, and Small Mouth Bass. As a hunter your only responsibilities are to shoot straight and enjoy your hunting and fishing. Hunters are also welcome to take one of our ATV’S and come baiting with us as we have over 60 bait stations that need to be re-baited every 3 to 4 days, bait sites are a minimum of 5 miles apart. All hunts are over pre-baited bait sites. We have many more active bait sites than hunters each year, this gives us the opportunity to change bait sites often and only hunt the mature trophy bears. Stands are 14ft high and 14-15 yards from the bait, giving all our hunters, bow or rifle a good look at the animal to ensure that it is of trophy size. We start baiting a full month before our first hunters arrive. We have all the different color phases of bears including blonde, chocolate, and cinnamon.

PowerPlay Golf, the sport’s exciting new format, launched to worldwide acclaim in May is coming to The Shropshire Golf Centre.

The Telford public pay-and-play facility will be staging a special PowerPlay Golf event on Sunday, August 28, which is open to golfers from all over the region.

Played over the picturesque Blue Course at The Shropshire – part of Burhill Golf & Leisure, the UK’s leading golf course owner and operator – the event will start at 9am with tee times available throughout the day and plenty of prizes on offer for the leading men, ladies and juniors.

PowerPlay Golf is a 9-hole Stableford competition with a twist…there are two flags on every green – a white and a more difficult black one. Players must nominate which flag they are aiming for before the start of each hole and will score double points for a net birdie or better when playing to the more challenging black PowerPlay flag.

However, with only three PowerPlays available for the first eight holes players must use them wisely. On the final hole each player has the choice of using a PowerPlay regardless of whether or not they have deployed their allotted three – should a competitor use a last hole PowerPlay they could snatch victory at the death! However, a bogey or worse will cause them to lose three points.

Stuart Perry, The Shropshire Golf Centre General Manager, said: “Since the first professional PowerPlay event at Celtic Manor in May, interest in the exciting new format of the game has rocketed. We are looking to stage regular PowerPlay events at The Shropshire and invite players from all over the region to join in the fun.”
