TUESDAY, 30 OCTOBER 2007
San Antonio, TX -
The Golf Galaxy Tour - San Antonio is hosting a 2-day statewide tournament,
November 17-18 at The Golf Club of Texas at Briggs Ranch. The tournament is
being billed as the Golf Galaxy Tour Texas Open Championship. "This will be a
warm up for next year, when our area will play host for the Golf Galaxy Tour
National Championship." stated Tony Vaught, Local Tour Director. "When I got
the word a few weeks ago, I was thrilled. To hold the Golf Galaxy Tour
National Championship in the Alamo City is something I have been looking
forward to for a long time."
The Golf Galaxy Tour National Championship brings
together players from all of the tours across the country, where one team is
crowned National Champions. "The Golf Galaxy Tour Texas Open Championship is
open to all golfers, just like our tour is structured, who normally shoot 95
or better. We are a Real Golf Tour for the Average Golfer." Vaught said.
"There will be 2 days of golf, camaraderie, food, fun, and silent auctions."
Information for this event, which is sure to sell out quickly, is located at
the local tour website, www.MissionCityGolfTour.com. The Golf Galaxy Tour has
been nationally recognized as the #1 Amateur Golf Tour in the United States,
operating over 60 tours throughout the country. Texas is fortunate to have 4
Tours within the state: San Antonio, Austin, Houston, and Dallas/Ft. Worth.
The tour is sponsored by Golf Galaxy, Callaway Golf, PGA Tour Partners and
Golf Magazine and is designed to give golfers the opportunity to participate
in tournament golf on great local golf courses.
Assistant Tour Director Dave
Roberts is excited about the growth of the tour. "For golfers that score in
the 90's, 80's or 70's and who are looking for fun, friendly competition, this
is a perfect fit. Our tour offers 2-person team formats which are a great way
to build camaraderie with friends and other local golfers. There are no
mandatory membership fees or dues, you don't need a handicap, tournaments are
played on weekends, and it's very affordable. On top of that, you can win
great prizes." Roberts said. Players receive Merchandise payouts (in the form
of Golf Galaxy gift certificates), 50 percent of the field share more than
$1,000 in prizes (with full-field) per event, and a year long Derby Points
contest crowns a "Player of the Year" at the end of the season.
