Weekly Notes…

Posted by Double Eagle in Miscellaneous

A couple of things have come through the publicity pipeline recently that I think you may be interested in.

“Class is In” at Faldo Golf Institute

For anyone who was thinking of attending a golf school this year, it looks like the Faldo Golf Institute has a great deal in store for you:

Now Golfers Can Book 2 & 3-Day Golf Schools At Faldo Golf Institute Locations In Orlando, FL And Palm Desert, CA, And Enjoy Complimentary Luxury Marriott Accommodations.

As the 2009 golf season tees off, “Class Is In” at the acclaimed Faldo Golf Institute (FGI), one of the nation’s leading golf schools, created by legendary 6-Time Major Champion Nick Faldo. Faldo Golf Institute today announced a golf school package promotion that will include complimentary “First-Class” Marriott Villas — throughout the duration of the golf school stay — for all golfers that book 2 & 3-Day Golf Schools before May 31, 2009.

“Class Is In” packages start at $955 for 3-Day Golf Schools and $635 for 2-Day Golf Schools. These packages are based on availability and cannot be combined with any other discount or promotion. For more information on FGI or to book a 2 or 3-Day Golf School at the Orlando, FL or Palm Desert, CA locations, please call (888) GO-FALDO (463-2536) or visit www.gofaldo.com.

That sounds like an awesome deal.  If you were planning on attending a golf school anyway, here’s a great chance to score some luxury accommodations for no extra charge.

The McGladrey Team Championship, the first nationwide grassroots best-ball amateur championship conducted by The PGA of America, will mark its third year with a new title and an enhancement to its format and a third consecutive return for the National Championship at Pinehurst (N.C.) Resort.

    Hey DE –

    Read this with interest… My bro-in-law is a pretty accomplished amateur player – thinking about senior Q school now. He’s on the fence – I keep prodding him along. This type of thing might be what it takes to light a fire under his %&$ and get him moving!

    Thanks for the heads up – I’m passing him this page….
