Houston Area Set for Second Tour Event
FRIDAY, 28 MARCH 2008
Houston, TX - The Houston chapter of the Golf Galaxy Golf Tour, a "Real Tour for the Average Golfer" holds its second event of 2008 this weekend at River Ridge Golf Club in Sealy.
The Golf Galaxy Golf Tour is comprised of 50 cities offering events
sponsored by Golf Galaxy, Callaway Golf, Golf Magazine, PGA Tour Partners, Shaftix, Green Buddy, Zero Friction Tees, and Player's Pass. The tour is designed to give average golfers the opportunity to experience the fun, friendly competition of tournament golf at a variety of great local courses.
Craig Hunt, Local Tour Director, is excited about the growth of the tour. "This is the first golf tour that caters to the average golfer who scores in the 90's, 80's or 70's. There are no mandatory membership fees or dues, events are flighted so every team has a chance to win every time they tee it up, tournaments are played on weekends, and it's very affordable. On top of that,
you can win great prizes," Hunt said.
All tournaments are two-person team format events played on Saturdays and are open to men, women, and juniors who normally score 95 or less for 18 holes. Players receive merchandise payouts (in the form of Golf Galaxy Gift Cards) to maintain amateur status. The tour offers more than $1,000 in prizes (with full field) per event and a point system that crowns a "Player of the Year". Although there are no mandatory membership fees or dues, players may upgrade to "VIP" status and receive discounts on tournament entry fees, Golf Galaxy Golf Tour logo'd merchandise, great products from Callaway Golf, and other valuable golf offerings. Players and sponsors may learn about tour schedules and locations, VIP Memberships, national and local sponsorship opportunities, and other tour-related information by visiting www.GolfGalaxyTour.com.
