This is fantastic news! Attended a pair of Dixie Cups, one at Long Shadow and the other at Aiken. They were terrific. Glad it is back.

Holler if I can help with the Old Barnwell leg of the trip. Would be great if we could incorporate some sort of donation component for the Evans Scholars Foundation.


Cheers,

Thanks so much for doing this. Would love to attend if there's space, but not in front of people who haven't seen the courses. Great lineup!

Interested as well.  Glad I made it to the ones I did and scratch my head about what prevented me from making more.

Great stuff, Michael. I'd also be very interested if there's space, although I understand it's a limited field and an event sure to get a LOT of interest.

I would love to attend. I live in Atlanta. Never have played in any GCA related event although I have wanted to. I also have never met anyone in person from this board, and certainly would love to.

I need some new friends.

Tell me it is the 2nd week of October and I’m likely very interested.

I have fond memories of past Dixie Cups, please put me on the extremely interested list, and would be in if an invitation were extended to me.  This is an amazing collection of golf courses!!
Thanks for organizing.

The Dixie Cup will take place during the first week of October. The only date nailed down at this point is 10/2. The other two days will fill in around it. Reservation information will come as soon as we determine the full schedule.

I was planning on having shoulder surgery the last week of September but may need to move it back a week or two to attend a resurrected Dixie Cup. Thanks to all who are organizing.
