For you vets and active-duty members of the U.S. military, I just wanted to mention a couple great deals on golf in Las Vegas this Labor Day. Two of the top golf courses in Las Vegas will be honoring members of the military by giving them discount green fees Sept. 1. At Royal Links Golf Club, golfers who present a military ID at check-in (and mention LasVegasGolf.com’s special offer) will get $50 off their green fee. A similar deal stands at TPC Las Vegas, where golfers will save $25. For more info or to book Las Vegas tee times, call 866-456-9912.

I just read over at TravelGolf.com where Brandon Tucker was raving about the conditions of the greens at some of the top golf courses in Las Vegas these days, despite the summer heat. He is absolutely right in saying conditions are awesome now at Bear’s Best Las Vegas, Rio Secco and others. But for reasons probably only my friend Jade can name, BTuck didn’t even like mention the most killer greens going right now - those at Desert Pines Golf Club. I played an early round last week and trust me, they’re in amazing shape, some of the best greens ...
