Kevin Unterreiner, National Director of the Golf Galaxy Golf Tour said, “The 2007 National Championship event was a true test of team golf on 2 wonderful Michigan golf courses. Our tour players were treated to magnificent views of Lake Michigan at Arcadia Bluffs and the rolling hills and beautiful scenery that Mountain Ridge had to offer. I can’t wait to get the 2008 season started and am very appreciative of all the efforts of our local tour directors and our national sponsors, Callaway Golf and Golf Galaxy. But most importantly I am thankful for all the players that played in our events nationwide. Their continued support and participation is key for our continued growth year after year.”
