The gentle sea breezes that caress the hillsides of this golf course will provide a reminder of golf’s historic origin.
Gary Player, a champion who embodies the integrity, values, passion, and traditions of the game, designed Steele Canyon’s three distinct 9-hole golf courses. Each layout offers a unique natural environment and type of play for all levels of experience. The rugged Canyon 9 provides dramatic shot-making challenges and breathtaking elevations. The Ranch 9 winds through the picturesque fields of a working ranch, and the Meadow 9 drifts along a pastoral valley enhanced with scenic woodlands, streams, and native wildlife.

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.
