The 7th Annual Piedmont Pilots & Partners Annual Golf Classic will be held on Monday and Tuesday, October 18th & 19th in Charleston, S.C. Parties interested in playing may register to enter at any time from Jan. 15 through September 15, 2004. Please note that registration is for course reservations and planning purposes only and should not be considered as an obligation to play or attend the reunion. Registering early does have its advantages. The first 44 golfers to register are guaranteed a slot, while numbers 45 and above will be alternates based on the number of golfers the courses are able to accept. Everyone registering will be assigned a number based on the date they register. The numbers will then be used to determine cart assignments and tee positions. For example, registration numbers 1 through 8 will tee off on the number 1 hole, numbers 9-16 on the number 2 hole, and so on. Therefore, the earlier one registers, the shorter he or she drives to his/her particular first tee and the shorter the drive back to the clubhouse after the round. Registration numbers will also be used later for determining the pairings and assigning carts. Registering is simple. To do so, send an email to Dash82002@aol.com and include YOUR NAME, YOUR HANDICAP OR AVERAGE SCORE, THE DIVISION (Men’s Championship, Men’s Seniors for men 63 and over, or the Ladies’ Division) THAT YOU WANT TO ENTER, AND THE DATES YOU PLAN TO PLAY (Mon, Tues, or Both). NOTE: Entry fees are not due until September 20, and registering now or later constitutes no obligation to play. YOU MAY CANCEL WITH REFUND AT ANY TIME. TOURNAMENT INFORMATION MONDAY’S FORMAT AND AWARDS: Monday’s play is tentatively planned to be a Two-Man Team Best Ball, handicaps will apply. Low team splits a $50.00 prize, more if we get enough golfers. A $20 prize and trophy will be awarded to the golfer getting the closest to the hole on each of the 4 par 3’s, and a $25 prize and trophy for the golfer having the longest drive. Tee times that day are scheduled for 12 PM so as to allow time for everyone to attend the business meetings between 9 and 11 that morning. A pairings sheet will be in the hospitality room on Sunday PM and Monday AM for those desiring to select a partner for Mon and Tues rounds. TUESDAY’S FORMAT AND AWARDS: Tuesday is tournament day. Golfers staying at the hotel may drive to the course or ride free via chartered bus leaving between 8 and 8:15. Golfers and guests coming in for only the Tuesday’s activities should plan to arrive at the Legend Oaks Course near Summerville, S.C., by 8:45 for a 9:15 tee time. The golf format will be the same as in previous tournaments except for a few minor exceptions, e.g., max gross score on any hole in the ‘04 tournament is a triple bogey. A PPPGA rule sheet will be provided for each cart. As mentioned earlier, tee boxes will be assigned in the order of registration date. Upon completion of the round, scorecards are to be turned in at the place designated by the course staff. All participants are invited to stay for the award ceremony, which will be held as soon as the scorecards are tallied. All cash and prizes will be awarded at that time. Closest to the pin and the long drive prizes will be the same as Monday’s awards. Six each $75.00 and $50.00 Gift Certificates will be awarded to both the First and Second place gross and net winners in each division along with their appropriate trophies. Except for closest to the pin or the long drive awards, no golfer may win both a low net and a low gross prize. Everyone is eligible to win a low gross or low net award, but no one is eligible to win more than one prize in any category. The awards mentioned above will go to six different golfers.
Pictured above are two of the trophies that will be awarded. The small trophy is for the Runner-Ups; large is the First Place Winners. ENTRY FEE DEADLINE FOR RECEIPT OF ENTRY FEES IS SEPT. 20, 2004. Cost for a single day’s play is $65.00 (MON OR TUES). Cost for both days’ play is $125.00.
Participation in the tournament is open to any Piedmont Silver Eagle member and his/her guests, any previous Piedmont Airlines employee, all active or retired US Airways personnel, and all Silver Eagle sponsors and their guests. Entries will be listed on a first come, first serve basis, although every effort will be made to see that all registered entrants will have an opportunity to play. For now, the tournament is limited to 44 golfers. The MEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP DIVISION will play from the blue tees, SENIORS DIVISION from the white or from the senior yellow tees if available, and The LADIES from the red. Foursomes may be mixed and golfers may choose his/her own partner. Players in any division may play together if desired. On Tuesday, each golfer is competing, but only with the other golfers in his or her division (side action notwithstanding) and anyone can win! Compliments and thanks for the gift certificates go to JOE PIONTEK of SMITH BARNEY and his PILOT RETIREMENT GROUP. The $1,000 HOLE-IN-ONE CHALLENGE is sponsored by and with thanks to OWEN BROWN and his HARBOR CAPITAL MANGEMENT TEAM.
Soft drinks, sandwiches and beer are available at the snack bar in the clubhouse. GIFT CERTIFICATES MAY BE REDEEMED FOR MERCHANDISE OR CASH (at a discounted price) IN THE PRO SHOP AFTER THE ROUND. The bus is tentatively planned to depart for the hotel no later than 3:15 that afternoon, so the sooner we complete the round, the more leisurely the AWARDS CEREMONY will go and the quicker we’ll get back to the hotel to get ready for the banquet that evening. As this year’s chairman of the golf tournament, I’d like to invite any and all of the Silver Eagle members and their friends who still enjoy a round of golf every now and then to come on down to Charleston and join us. Some of you who’ve played in the past, but not recently, are sorely missed. And it isn’t the golf so much as it is the OLD PIEDMONT CAMARADERIE. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact me. THANKS,
BEETS
