For a number of reasons we must reschedule the Peach/Palmetto Cup at Cateechee. The meeting is now set for Saturday, April 26. As before, we will try to tee off about 11:00, followed by drinks, dinner, presentations and conversation.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause. I had heard from about 22 people. I hope most you (and others) will be able to make it on the new date.
That's the bad news. The good news is that we have an great lineup of people giving brief presentations that evening.
They are as follows:
- Charlie Rhymer, TV golf commentator and media cult figure, who has played 'em all and has lots of interesting things to say about golf course archtecture.
- Greg Burleson, superintendent at Augusta CC and formerly an assistant at ANGC, who will talk about the restoration of the Augusta CC course two years ago.
- Mike Young, designer of Cateechee, who will tell war stories about designing and building the course.
- John Stiles will talk about restoration efforts at his home course, Holston Hills.
There may be others as well. Talks will be about 15 minutes and are intended to spur questions and conversation.
Please instant message me here or email me a rcrosby@phrd.com with your availablity and thoughts about the Cup. All pricing remains the same (golf $25, dinner $25, open bar).
I hope you can make it. Again, apologies to all for the rescheduling.
