New CBX T3 Joins Exotics CBX “Spin Killer” Series Of Clubs

A Tour winner as a Prototype, the Exotics CBX T3 is hitting stores May 15th

BATAVIA, IL – Tour Edge, Golf’s Most Solid Investment, announced the upcoming release of the Exotics CBX T3 fairway wood, a new version of the spin-killing Exotics CBX fairway wood.

Due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback the Exotics CBX fairway woods have received on the professional tours and in independent testing, Tour Edge has created a more compact CBX fairway wood model featuring a deeper-face with less face progression called the CBX T3.

The Exotics CBX T3 is already a winner on the PGA Champions Tour, when a prototype version was in the bag of the 2018 Chubb Classic winner in Naples, FL. The Exotics CBX T3 has been in play by eight different players on the PGA TOUR Champions as a prototype and has also made its way into play on the PGA TOUR recently in the hands of a 4-time PGA TOUR winner.

The Exotics CBX T3 is an ideal fairway wood for usage off the tee on tight holes and for those who seek a more penetrating flight off the deck.

  • The CBX T3 features a more compact head and a shorter surface area from heel to toe
  • The deeper face and higher CG of the CBX T3 makes this the perfect fairway wood off the tee and for those who seek a more penetrating flight off the deck
  • Less face progression than standard CBX fairway wood
  • Compact 162cc head in the CBX T3 provides a classic profile while delivering the same lower launch angle and low spin rate as the 167cc CBX fairway wood offers
  • Available in 3 lofts – 13.5, 15.0 and 16.5 degrees

Exotics CBX Technology 

  • Exotics CBX is world’s first Titanium face, stainless steel, carbon fiber sole club ever designed!
  • ADVANCED BETA TI CUP FACE is thinner and stronger to deliver the longest-hitting fairway wood on the market today
  • CARBON SOLE WEIGHTING helps move weight precisely to deliver more power with lower spin
  • VARIABLE FACE THICKNESS delivers Exotics legendary power from all over the club face
  • SPEED RAMP SOLE minimizes turf interaction to maintain maximum club head speed through impact

Golf Digest: Bay Harbor among Best Resorts in the Americas

Boyne Resorts flagship property recognized by Golf Digest editors

PETOSKEY, MI – The Inn at Bay Harbor, the flagship property for Boyne Resorts, one of largest golf and resort attractions in North America, has received an Editor’s Choice Award by Golf Digest as one of the Best Golf Resorts in the Americas.

The publication’s annual review of “The Best Things in Golf” by its editors appears in the May 2018 issue and online at Golfdigest.com. The listing recognizes resorts throughout the United States, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, Bermuda and Canada.

The scenic Inn at Bay Harbor and Bay Harbor Golf Club, located along a seven-mile stretch of Lake Michigan in Northern Michigan, was recognized by the editors as one of the best resorts in the Midwest region. Bay Harbor joined other elite destinations from the Midwest including The American Club, Erin Hills, Forest Dunes, French Lick Resort, Giants Ridge, and Sand Valley.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by Golf Digest,” Bernie Friedrich, Boyne Resort’s senior vice president of golf operations, said. “The combination of these two unique properties, their spectacular location along the shores of Lake Michigan, and the service level provided to our guests makes this one of the top golf destination experiences in the country.”

Named a “Top Resort” and “Top Spa” by readers of Conde Nast Traveler, the Inn at Bay Harbor has been a must-experience destination since opening in 1998. It became a member of Marriott’s Autograph Collection Hotels in 2016.

The shoreline destination, which takes guests back in time to an early 20th century resort experience, features 123 rooms including 84 suites, 22 lakeside cottages, 13 Crooked Tree cottages, world-class spa amenities and a variety of dining options and meeting space.

Complementing the beautiful Inn at Bay Harbor are 45 scenic golf holes overlooking Lake Michigan. Bay Harbor Golf Club (Golf Digest Top 100 Public Course) features 27 holes designed by Arthur Hills, which plays as three different course combinations.  The (Links/Quarry, Quarry/Preserve, Preserve/Links) combinations meander along the bluffs of Lake Michigan, trek through a rugged old limestone quarry, and wander through beautiful northern Michigan hardwoods. Crooked Tree Golf Club is perched on bluffs high above Bay Harbor. The course was sculpted through century-old hardwoods and the back nine opens to breathtaking views of Little Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan.
