Tour Announcement - New Years 2006 in the Desert

I'm happy to announce details for the New Years 2006 tour, which will have two separate legs and a total of eight courses, including one private layout which opened a mere few weeks ago.

First, I'll be reporting live each day from Las Vegas over the New Year's holiday winding up that run with the creme de la creme of Vegas courses, Wolf Creek. I'll also be reviewing some of the new casinos, poker rooms, restaurants and clubs including The Palms, Mandalay Bay, Ice, Red Square, Pure and others. There will obviously be plenty to report on during the New Year's Eve festivities.

After New Year's, the scene shifts to Scottsdale where I'll be joined by special guests, former golf course architect of the year Brian Silva and various music/film/TV celebs, who will offer bonus commentary on courses and deeper commentary on that all important topic, food. With a list of 25 different restaurants in Scottsdale, I don’t think we'll run short on that score.

Highlights of the Scottsdale leg include the "minimalist courses" - Apache Stronghold and Talking Stick (North) and the cherry on the sundae, Jim Engh's new private design Blackstone.

In preparation for the tour, I'll post reviews of some Vegas and Arizona staples between now and the New Year.

Until then have a happy, healthy and prosperous Christmas and a joyful New Year.
