Showtime Golf Announces New Torrey Pines Golf & Hotel Package!!!
Getting a tee time at the legendary Torrey Pines Golf Course© has always been close to impossible. Years ago, the only way to get a tee time was through a seven day phone-in lottery system at either 5am in the morning or 7pm at night. But recent, actions by the city of San Diego has limited the non-resident tee times to only 30% of all play at the famous course located on the cliffs of the Pacific Ocean in La Jolla, California. Now, depending on the day, there are only as many as 7 tee times per course available to the non-resident golfer looking to book a tee time.
Showtime Golf has been booking tee times at Torrey Pines for the past 8 years and now has a new option for non-residents looking to play the world famous Torrey Pines Golf Course, host of the 2008 U.S. Open (if availability warrants). Here are the 2 options for non-resident golfers (outside the “city” of San Diego) to book reservations at Torrey Pines North and/or South Golf Courses.
Option #1: 8-90 day advanced reservations. Showtime Golf will act as your liaison with the city of San Diego parks and recreation department to coordinate tee times for anywhere from 1 to 8 players. Times are very limited (7 per course per day) and availability can take up to 72 hours to acquire, but both North and South courses can be booked through this process.
A $25 non-refundable deposit/reservation fee will be assessed from Showtime Golf for non-residents and a $41 non-resident fee from the city of San Diego. The green fee will be charged at the golf course upon check-in (carts cost $40 and are optional). If you are unable to make your tee time, no further money will be owed other than the before mentioned non-refundable deposit/reservation fees. Rates are as follows:
* Non-Resident Pricing North: Mon – Thu: $161, Fri-Sun & Holidays: $185
* Non-Resident Pricing South: Mon – Thu: $240, Fri-Sun & Holidays: $284
Pricing includes all deposit/reservation fees.
Option #2 (NEW): 14-90 day golf/hotel package reservations. For those 
individuals who don’t yet have a hotel booked, Showtime Golf is proud to offer this great package within walking distance to Torrey Pines. In fact, upgrades to a “Fairway View” room may also be available. In addition to the 7 tee times mentioned above (option #1), additional tee times each day are reserved for this golf/hotel package and if available, can be guaranteed up to 90 days in advance. All leftover tee times not sold via this golf/hotel package must be given back to the city of San Diego at the two week point, so book early if you can!

About Torrey Pines Golf Course
Torrey Pines, long recognized as one of the nation’s foremost municipal golf facilities, is truly a “golfer’s paradise”. Bounded by mountains to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the west, the seaside golf courses are often swept by sunshine or by rain, fog, and chilling winds. Nature lovers can spot wildlife and the famous Torrey Pines trees that are indigenous to San Diego area.
Torrey Pines consists of two picturesque 18-hole golf courses, the North Course and the South Course, set on the cliffs of La Jolla, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Along with fabulous golf, the facility offers one of the largest on-course golf shops in the nation, advance golf reservations, expert instruction, and a double sided driving range. The Torrey Pines complex was designed and built by Billy Bell in the 1950′s.
The Torrey Pines South Course boasts dramatic coastline views as well as some of the most challenging golf in the country. In 2001, renowned golf course designer Rees Jones set his signature upon the course and the accolades on his work have not stopped since. Rees has added his own personal touches, in order to create a championship level of golf. The Torrey Pines South Course hosted 2008 United States Open Championship.
The Torrey Pines North Course is one of the most scenic golf courses on the California coastline. Several holes on the North Course are situated high atop the bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean yet less expensive than Torrey Pines South Course. Many golfers think the North course boasts better views but it is fact that the North Course will not be as challenging as Torrey Pine’s South Course.

TaylorMade Innovates As Corporate Strategy
This is once again from our friends at Golfblogger…
Businessweek has a nice article on how TaylorMade has turned innovation into a company strategy.
When TaylorMade Golf’s R9 hits retailers in March, it will be the 45th new metal driver the company has produced since 2003. Thanks to that torrent of product introductions, the Adidas subsidiary has more than doubled its annual revenue, to $1.3 billion, catching up with once-larger rivals Callaway Golf (ELY) and Acushnet and rising to the top in sales of drivers, the game’s priciest clubs.
Chief Executive Officer Mark King calls the company’s lickety-split rollout schedule “relentless innovation.†It’s an idea he imported from Japan, where, during a 2000 business trip, he saw how Japanese golf-equipment manufacturers were trouncing leisurely paced American leaders by turning out new products much more often. Before yearend, he hired an executive from United Parcel Service UPS to revamp TaylorMade’s supply chain so it could step up operations. Within five years, he doubled the money spent on marketing. All the effort paid off: Customers eager for that latest club paid prices that were as much as $100 more than what rivals charged.
The next time you are visiting San Diego, and want to leave your sticks at home, be sure to give Showtime Golf a call as they offer top-of-the-line TaylorMade rental clubs (a minimal of 3-4 sets is usually required). We will deliver them to the course or your hotel at no charge, and we’ll even charge you less than the golf course charges in most instances! Request your top-of-the-line TaylorMade rental clubs today or call 760-471-6023. Mention this blog to receive $5 off per set.
Download the San Diego Golf Guide (it takes only about 10-15 seconds) to learn more on these TaylorMade rental clubs, the other great services at Showtime Golf, as well as all the great info on the various golf courses in the area.
