The Vegas Cup Pro-Am Lines-up with GolfTEC and the Best of Las Vegas

With over 300 PGA Professionals employed at GolfTEC, it was a no-brainer for GolfAdventures.com to team up with them in supporting the first Annual Vegas Cup Pro-Am Tournament. Set to play at three incredible championship golf courses in Las Vegas; Bear's Best Golf Course, TPC at the Canyons and Reflection Bay Golf Club, the Vegas Cup promises to be a spectacular event.

Tournaments are nothing new to Bear's Best Golf Course. The facility hosted the 2004 Las Vegas Invitational and places as one of the top 10 golf courses in the Vegas Valley. Each hole at Bear's Best was hand-picked by Jack Nicklaus himself, and then laid out beautifully on the sands of the Las Vegas Desert, "It's a golf course that's made up from many different regions. You have Colorado represented here; you have New Mexico, Arizona, Southern California, the country of Mexico, and also Anaconda, Montana. It's got eighteen signature holes that Jack Nicklaus designed from five different states and another country, so it definitely has a unique nature," says Greg Blackwell, Head Pro at Bear's Best.

As co-host to the "Fry's.com Open" and the only public PGA Tour Facility in Las Vegas, TPC at the Canyons brings the "Highest Standards in the Golf Industry" to the Vegas Cup. Repeatedly listed as one of the top 10 golf courses in Las Vegas, and earning a Four-Star rating by Golf Digest Magazine, this Bobby Weed/Raymond Floyd layout provides the ultimate in Las Vegas Golf for players of all skill levels. Tournament participants will walk the fairways, take in the surroundings, and enjoy a level of service normally reserved for some of the greatest names in golf. TPC at the Canyons brings the experience of the PGA Tour to the Vegas Cup Pro-Am.

Reflection Bay Golf Club, annual host to the "Wendy's Three-Tour Challenge," is the stunning finale of the Vegas Cup Pro-Am. This Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course spreads itself beautifully throughout the popular Lake Las Vegas Resort. Reflection Bay features three waterfalls and plays around arroyos and water with five holes located along the lake's striking shoreline. Lake Las Vegas Resort was recently honored by USA Today as one of America's Top Ten Golf Resorts.

With this incredible line-up of top golf courses in Las Vegas and the addition of GolfTEC, the Vegas Cup Pro-Am is sure to be an incredible event. The tournament runs from December 2nd to December 6th and culminates in an awards dinner at the Palms Hotel & Casino. Teams consist of one-PGA Professional and 4 amateurs. Spaces are running out quickly for the Vegas Cup Pro-Am. Contact your local GolfTEC outlet or call the Tournament Desk at GolfAdventures.com at 1-877-777-9459 for information on how to reserve a spot for your team.

Strong Core, Powerful Swing Fitness Tip

SCOREGolf, Bob Weeks and golf fitness expert Isaac Levy has some tips that will help you get to the next level in core strength to power up your golf swing.

Sir Walter: Walter Hagen and the Invention of Professional Golf

During the Golden Age of Sports in the 1920s, Walter Hagen was to golf what Babe Ruth was to baseball. The first professional golfer to make his living playing the game rather than teaching it, Hagen won eleven major professional tournaments over his long career -- two U.S. Opens, four British Opens, and five PGA Championships (including an amazing streak of four consecutive PGA wins) -- a record surpassed only by Jack Nicklaus. Hagen was also influential in helping to found the Ryder Cup and was the first American golfer to top $1 million in career earnings -- a figure equivalent to over $40 million today.

Award-winning sportswriter Tom Clavin has penned a thrilling biography that vividly recalls Hagen's dazzling achievements and the qualities that made him a star. Energetic, witty, and one of the best putters ever to walk the green, Hagen was a man who loved to party, was extraordinarily generous to his friends, and golfed the world over, giving exhibitions. He preferred to travel by limousine, and if he intended to stay awhile he'd bring a second limo just to transport his clothes, which were nothing but the finest. On his many trips across the Atlantic to compete in the Ryder Cup or British Open, Hagen was known to throw parties that lasted days, ending only when the ship reached the shore. He was also the first professional golfer to admit to playing not only for the love of the game, but also for the love of the winner's purse.

Walter Hagen, forerunner of today's sports superstars, is as dynamic a character as can be found in American sports history. Bringing Hagen to life with incredible detail and countless anecdotes, Sir Walter is the authoritative biography of the man who helped create professional golf as it's known today.
