Ford Ironman Arizona Adds to Tempe Entertainment This April
Tempe, AZ (PRWEB) April 10, 2008 -- In one day, athletes from around the world will swim 2.4-miles, bike 112-miles and run a full 26.2 mile marathon, in succession, as they compete in the Ford Ironman Arizona. This grueling, yet inspiring event is taking place in Tempe, Arizona (www.tempecvb.com) on April 13, 2008.
Ford Ironman Arizona has become extremely popular with nearly 2,000 athletes competing each year. It is anticipated to generate more than $4.5 million in economic impact for Tempe as both athletes and their friends and families travel to Tempe to provide support and encouragement for their favorite competitor.
With the swim course in Tempe Town Lake, the adjacent Tempe Beach Park and the Mill Avenue bridges provide perfect views of the swim. The transitions to the bike course and marathon course take place at Tempe Beach Park. Because both of these courses are loops, there are many opportunities to see the athletes along the roadways and throughout Tempe Beach Park.
The Ford Ironman Arizona Athlete Village will be set up in the park prior to and during the event. It features sponsor and merchandise booths and provides a gathering place for athletes and spectators to enjoy Tempe entertainment.
With 330 days of sunshine annually, an enviable climate, the lake and parks, Tempe is a natural fit for this event. A variety of Tempe entertainment (http://www.tempecvb.com/Visitor_Main.asp), activities for athletes and spectators means a great time before and after the big event. The Mill Avenue District, with more than 100 restaurants, shops and cafes, is located just south of the Ford Ironman Arizona festivities. Nearby parks and mountain preserves provide easy access to outdoor recreation in the scenic Sonoran desert, such as hiking, biking or picnicking. And, Tempe entertainment centers such as Arizona Mills and Tempe Marketplace provide more opportunities for nightlife, great cuisine and shopping.

So what are the ways in which you can become an ace golfer, with both swing power as well as accuracy? Well, experts are of the opinion that there is no written or used formula for improving the accuracy of your golf game.
