Rounds 4 Research 2019
« on: April 26, 2019, 10:31:07 AM »
Yes, it is once again time for everyone's favorite online auction that allows you, the golfer to help preserve and protect the game we love.  GCSAA has over 1400 courses available for bid throughout the country starting this Monday, April 29th and concluding Sunday, May 5th.  There are some exceptional opportunities awaiting for true lovers of this grand game.  Proceeds directly benefit turfgrass research.  Just here in the Carolinas we have distributed over $400,000 since the program's inception over a decade ago to research projects at both Clemson and N.C. State Universities.  Thank you for your support!

Just a quick update as the auction is approximately at the halfway mark.  There are now 1557 items available, so if there is something you're particularly interested in and do not see it yet, it may show up before the auction is over this coming Sunday evening.  I'm even hearing rumors about the possibility of a previous exclusive donor resurfacing, so please keep checking.  Also, over 45% of all donated rounds are contained in the Southeast (FL, GA, SC, NC and TN) with over 700 options to choose from.  Thank you for your support!

We have reached the final day gents.  Lots of great deals and opportunities to play places like East Lake, Bandon Dunes, Pinehurst No. 2, Succession, Ohoopee, Palmetto, Somerset Hills, and even my place... Carolina Golf Club.  Please take advantage and help us raise money for turfgrass research.

Thanks for promoting.  Carolinas does a good job with it.  Tennessee is growing every year as well.  I bid on 6, only won 1.

Thanks again for posting the link, Matt! I won a couple of the Tennessee auctions - one of the courses I haven't played (Old Hickory CC) and the other (Cherokee CC) I've played only once, so very much looking forward to both.
