“The Troon Summer Series gives area golfers a chance to slip out after work, sneak in a quick nine-hole event and experience Troon Golf at some amazing courses throughout the Valley of the Sun,” stated Kris Strauss, vice president, sales and marketing, Troon. “Best of all, the series will feature a ‘Fed Ex Cup-style’ points structure whereby participants earn points for the events they play in and how they place.”

The winning point earner at the end of the Troon Summer Series will be awarded a cool getaway to Park Hyatt Aviara Resort and Aviara Golf Club in Carlsbad, CA. Meaning the more golfers play, the more chances they have of earning points towards a vacation to Park Hyatt Aviara Resort. The Series kicks off June 3 and runs through September 9, 2015 with tee times for each event starting at 4 pm.
