Get ready golfing souls, for the two most-appreciated words of the upcoming summer season… discount golf.

The Southwest Section PGA recently announced that new summer pricing has been introduced for the 2009 golf pass, which will offer discounted tee times at up to 75 courses in the Phoenix area through Oct. 31, 2009.

Additionally, for a limited time, anyone who purchases a Summer Golf Pass (by May 31) will be entered into a drawing for a 2010 FBR Open Members Club hospitality package, which includes two Members Club tickets per day, complimentary food and beverage and one VIP parking pass. As someone who has taken advantage of these FBR perks before, I can tell you there really is no better way to watch the tournament.

 “This is the first time that we have reduced the price of the golf pass strictly for the summer months,” said Joel Schafer, Southwest Section PGA board member. “We feel this is a great way to give golfers more options on discounted golf and the chance to see the exceptional value that the SWS Golf Pass offers.”

The cost of the pass is $75 and can be purchased directly at participating courses, which can be found on the Southwest Section PGA website at www.SWSGolfPass.com. 

 The Southwest Section PGA also is encouraging everyone to use their website to book tee times online, which will offer a “Best Rate Guarantee” at participating courses.  The SWS Best Rate Guarantee pledges to provide the best rate offered through any indirect website, or any other offer made available to the general public.  

The Southwest Section PGA Golf Pass program began in 1994 as a means of bringing some clarity and consistency to the myriad golf discount programs that had flooded the market in Arizona.  On average the Section sells more than 20,000 Golf Passes annually, accounting for more than 200,000 golf rounds each year. Currently the Golf Pass is honored at 75 Arizona golf courses. Under the current Golf Pass Program, Pass holders receive a 25-percent discount off the posted weekend rates at participating courses and 50-percent discount off weekday golf rates. Money raised from Golf Pass sales is used by the Southwest Section PGA to support Junior Golf, the Golf Industry Association, the Cactus and Pine Foundation and other programs designed to ensure the continued health and growth of the golf industry in Arizona.
