GCAers:
As the Dixie Cup prepares to roar into Roanoke this fall I have received several contacts from many of you who would like to visit and play Ballyhack. Recent discussion board attention has also resulted in a number of contacts and questions, all centered around what I believe to be a fantastic and genuinely unique golf experience. In addition, this fall's Dixie Cup committee received more registration requests than they could accommodate.
In response I am offering to host a GCA group at Ballyhack on September 16, 17, and 18, 2011. Players may arrive on either Friday or Saturday and are invited to stay through Sunday. Golf is available all three days. Lodging in very nicely-appointed cottages and food will be offered on-site. Our clubhouse will be completed within a month and will provide the perfect venue for evening fellowship, discussion, and debate; such revelry will surely continue around our stone fire pits well into the night.
This event is open to GCAers and I
will consider requests for one guest per. If you are interested in attending, please email wade@wadewhitehead.com. Once I receive your arrival and departure preferences I will confirm price. I am happy to arrange a ride to and from the airport for anyone flying into ROA. With questions please contact me directly.

I look forward to hosting folks who can't attend the October Cup, folks who didn't make the field, or Dixie Cuppers who simply want a sneak peek at the best course built in Virginia since The Cascades.
I look forward to hearing from all who are interested in visiting Ballyhack this fall.
