The 65+ softball team sponsored by Talking Rock continues to play through the spring and summer in tournaments throughout Arizona and Nevada. The traveling team is mainly comprised of Prescott locals and a few Phoenix residents. The Prescott-based players contribute to in-house teams in the Prescott Senior Softball League.

Recently, Team Talking Rock participated in a round robin of 65+ teams at the Gold Glove Qualifier in Phoenix. The team also finished 3rd in the Spring World's tournament in Mesquite, Nevada. Upcoming tournaments include the Tom Tobin Classic at Pioneer Park in May and the Rockin Reno Tournament in early June.

In the midst of one of the real estate industry’s toughest years, we are pleased to report some positive news on our real estate sales figures for 2009. We rounded out the year with 55 unit sales, with four of those occurring in December alone. In fact, our homesite and home sales combined to surpass the total number of sales in 2007 and 2008!

We attribute our success to a number of things including a thriving clubhouse community, continued infrastructure investments and the decision to continue our marketing operations, even as many others have gone dark. We’ve used the market slow-down to spark creative strategies for reaching new buyers and develop programs that provide members with exciting and diverse opportunities for interaction.

Like everyone else, we’ve felt the effects of the economic downturn, but our commitment to authenticity has not faltered. We continue to provide some of the finest real estate in Prescott Valley, the same member benefits, stunning surroundings and relaxed lifestyle we always have. If you are already a Talking Rock member, thank you, and if you aren’t, we encourage you to visit the community and find out what we are all about.

2010 is off to a running start at Talking Rock. During February we hosted a Valentine’s Day weekend full of opportunities to impress your favorite person and cheered for the Saints and Colts during our Super Bowl Bash.  In addition to our ongoing events, we’ve also started a wine club that has caught on with a quite a few of our members.

 

Developed by Food and Beverage Director Ryan Davis, the Talking Rock Windmill Wine Club was started to provide members the opportunity to learn more about wine, while having the ability to taste and purchase those that may not be available for sale at the Ranch Compound.  Already boasting more than 40 members, recent events have included an open house that provided light hors d’oevres, wine tastings and deep discounts on bottles and another tasting event that allowed members to weigh-in the Club’s house wine offerings. 

 

Quarterly dues for wine club membership are $35 per person and benefits include:
 
-         10 percent discount on wine bottle purchases in Ranch House and Coops
-         10 percent discount on wine tasting dinners
-         Quarterly wine related gift
-         Quarterly wine club newsletter
-         Private specialty event invitations

 

For more information contact Ryan Davis at (928) 493-2615 or visit him at the Ranch Compound. 

 

Coming up on March 21, the Talking Rock Windmill Wine Club is hosting a Nine and Wine event, featuring a short round of golf followed by a tasting.  More details coming soon!

Did you know that your fitness routine off the golf course is just as important as the 18 holes themselves?  The golf pros at Talking Rock have recently undergone training to help golfers improve their game through overall physical fitness.

 

On February 16^th and 17^th, Club General Manager Jim Leisenring and Athletic Director Pam Mitchell attended a golf fitness certification program hosted by the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI).  A prestigious certification program, Jim and Pam joined other golf professionals, fitness trainers and medical doctors from across the country to learn how to accurately analyze a golfer's range of motion and understand how it affects their swing.  During the intensive two-day program they learned to identify specific motion characteristics and develop customized golf fitness workouts that can increase flexibility and motor functions, while still addressing a person's physical limitations.

 

After completing the program, Jim and Pam have become TPI Certified Golf Fitness Instructors; joining only two other certified instructors in the area and making Talking Rock the only Prescott golf course to provide such training. 

While the obvious benefits of this program are improved golf swing mechanics and a better game, this training can also decrease the likelihood of long-term injury and increase your overall physical fitness.

 

We are looking forward to sharing this information with you.  Stay tuned in coming weeks for a series of short, informational seminars that will introduce you to the program and provide you the opportunity to take advantage of this exciting new training.
