June 6, 2007--Golf legend Lee Trevino will be in the Fox television booth talking and covering the Ultimate Game at Wynn Las Vegas, and will watch with the other millions on television booth while one of 12 golfers--including three with strong Las Vegas ties--collects the biggest winner's check in all of golf. $2 million will go to the champion, and along with Trevino, longtime Las Vegas pro golfer Jim Colbert (he used to own and operate Sunrise Country Club and Las Vegas Golf Club) will be close to the action as he will serve as an on-course reporter during the event. “I don’t care if you have (Jack) Nicklaus or Tiger Woods out there, the pressure is going to be enormous with every putt – especially if they’re jammed up on the last nine holes,” Trevino says.

June 7, 2007--A concert review and story on a golf website that is solely dedicated to Las Vegas golf? Well, when the front man for one of the world's biggest bands happens to be the cousin of a Las Vegas PGA Tour pro, Craig Barlow, and that front man is a golfer who played on his Las Vegas golf high school golf team, it's totaly appropriate for some entertainment news to enter the pages of GolfLasVegasNow.com. Brandon Flowers is a Las Vegas native, and he and his fellow The Killers rocked the Hard Rock Las Vegas Summer outdoor Stage last weekend in front of a sold-out crowd. Hundreds of other hotel guests partied on their balconies while watching the show down below. It was vintage Vegas, and a scene that truly adds to Las Vegas being the Entertainment Capital of the World. "I have been to about 10 of their concerts now, and that was typical with the crowd really into it," says Barlow, an 8-year PGA Tour veteran who tees it up with cousin when their schedules syn up.

May 21, 2007--We may all dislike the fact that Tiger Woods annually chooses to miss the Las Vegas PGA Tour stop, but his dislike to for the ease of the courses and the pro-am format doesn't mean he has a disdain for Las Vegas and its golf courses in general. He loves Las Vegas so much that he annually hosts his major fundraiser, the Tiger Jam, at the Mandalay Bay and this year there are several golf course events happening at the fabulous Las Vegas golf course Cascata, a Rees Jones-designed masterpiece in the hills above Boulder City. Bon Jovi headlines the annual concert and Jam, and many other high-powered celebrities are expected to attend the festivities. The list of celebrities that have hit the red carpet of the event include Kevin James, Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, Pam Anderson, Kid Rock, Prince, Celine Dion, Glen Frey, Steve Wonder, Sting, Christina Aguilera, and many others. This marks the second time that Bon Jovi has been the main headliner. "We are fortunate to have had so many musical greats lend their talents to Tiger Jam," Woods told M Magazine, the official publication of MGM Mirage, parent company of the host hotel. "I'm really excited to have Bon Jovi back this year. Jon, Richie, Tico and Bryan, those guys put on an awesome show."

May 9, 2007--You never know who you will run into when playing golf in Las Vegas, and this past weekend of big events was no different. The stars were burning brightly at Las Vegas hotels and casinos, and a few of the names in town spent some time on the greens and fairways of Las Vegas golf courses. The Tiger Woods of motorcycle racing, James "Bubba" Stewart, secured the "Superbowl of Supercross" championship at Sam Boyd Stadium on Saturday night, but while he was preparing for the race many of his friends and buddies were teeing it up at Las Vegas golf course Bali Hai Golf Club in the Road2Recovery golf event that benefits racers who are injured in action. BMX star TJ Lavin and former motocross superstar turned reality television star Carey Hart were among the notables that teed it up at the beautiful and tropical Bali Hai Golf Club. Hart also operates the successful Hart and Hunnington tatoo shop at the Palms Hotel.

April 29, 2007--Golf is a serious game at times (ask the USGA), but we can't forget that the game can also be a lot of fun, especially when played in the "World's Most Exciting Golf Destination" as VegasGolfer Magazine calls Las Vegas. Celebrities from all walks of film, television, sports and music tee it up on Las Vegas golf courses on a daily basis, but a very unique pairing took place at Las Vegas golf course TPC Canyons for a segment on Get Golf on USA Network, hosted by John O' Hurley of Seinfeld fame who now plays King Arthur in Monty Python's Spamalot here at the fabulous Wynn Resort in Las Vegas. And through the magic of You Tube, you can view the short, fun-filled Elvis and O' Hurley moments now.

March 26, 2007--Tiger Woods is on a hot roll. One that's lasted about a decade, and shows no signs of cooling. When Tiger finally dispatched Brett Wetterich over the weekend to win the CA Championship, a World Golf Championship event, it marked his 77th win as a professional. His first PGA Tour win came at the 1996 Las Vegas Invitational, played at Las Vegas golf courses TPC Summerlin, Las Vegas National Golf Club and the old Desert Inn Golf Club (since remodeled to be WYNN Las Vegas). The 77 wins come in three categories listed in the official PGA Tour media guide: official PGA Tour wins, international wins and other victories. Tiger has won 77 times in just more than 10 years of playing. For a bit of perspective, Arnold Palmer won 86 times in the same three categories, with his first win coming 25 years before his 86th.

She is currently ranked 26th in the Rolex World Rankings.

During every show for many years, historical talk show host Johnny Carson would punctuate his monologue with a pretty nice looking golf swing. It became a signature move, and one that every Carson impressionist put in their act. So who was Johnny's pro that helped make the swing "fundamentally" sound? According to Terry Webber, the nephew of legendary PGA of America Las Vegas Golf Pro Charlie Teel, that swing could be credited to his Uncle and Las Vegas. "I remember watching the Johnny Carson show, and whenever I would see the 'golf swing', I would think of Charlie," Webber said.
