Golf theme cruises spotlight world's best courses
The No. 1 driver on the PGA Tour - TaylorMade's r7 quad - finds a new home this month aboard the No. 1 large-ship cruise line as TaylorMade takes to sea as the official golf club of luxury cruise specialist Crystal Cruises.
In addition to the prestigious r7 quad driver, the new alliance showcases TaylorMade's acclaimed 2005 rac OS IRONS, the Mezza Monza putter, and the r5 dual Type N - the most forgiving driver TaylorMade has ever engineered.
Crystal's comprehensive golf program features right and left handed clubs available for both men and women, as well as golf clinics, instruction by PGA golf pros, a putting green, practice cage, and golf driving ranges aboard each ship - Crystal Harmony, Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity.
One of the most respected names in golf, TaylorMade drivers ranked No. 1 at every PGA Tour event in 2004 - the third year in a row - extending TaylorMade's streak to 156 consecutive events (dating back to 2001) at No. 1. Since its inception in 1979, TaylorMade has led the golf industry's technological evolution.
"Like Crystal, TaylorMade shares a passion for perfection, providing golf enthusiasts the world over with innovative products and services that continuously exceed the expectations of a discerning clientele," says Nitsa Lewis, Crystal's vice president, marketing. "All of our partnerships have reflected a match of quality companies who excel in their respective fields."
