Came in the mail last week. Golfweek's supplemental, The Golf Life 2008..Best Residential and Resort Courses. Just got around to reading the Resort section rankings and advertisements.
Congrats to Forrest and Jeff B by the way.
Anyway, I always enjoy the marketing efforts of describing a course or experience.
See if you can match the advertisement with the course it's describing.
1) "The secret to this course is simple. Keep your eye on the ball, and off the mountains."
2) "All 14 clubs are put to the test here!"
3) "Play the CHAMPION and experience 6 of the toughest 50 holes on the PGA TOUR."
4) " It's like heaven. With golf carts."
5) "Longest course in XXXXX..."Dye-abolical designs...compelling yardages...daunting hazards...devious routing..."
6) Every golfer owes it to him or herself to golf this heaven-sent course at least once in their lifetime."
7) "Amazing golf oasis that gracefully emerges from the untamed desertscape."
8. "In striking contrast to the earthen hues of its rugged backdrop."
9) "...George chipped in from 70 ft on the 18th...The Jersey guys buy the steaks and cold brews at Champions. We're definately coming back next year. It could only happen here."
