Coaches Beware
ATTENTION GOLF COACHES:
It has come to the attention of the GHSA that a number of schools have received a flyer listing the "All-State Girls Golf Team" and "All-State Boys Golf Team". This publication is not affiliated with the GHSA or the GHSGCA. This is a money making venture on the part of the vendor.
Collegiate Championships
Good afternoon Mr. Parker,
I am the chairman of the United States Collegiate Championship Committee (USCC) at The Golf Club of Georgia(GCOG) in Alpharetta. The tournament is hosted yearly in October at GCOG and includes 15 of the top men’s college golf teams from around the country playing a three day, 54 team and individual event. This year’s field includes the following teams: Auburn, Clemson, Duke, East Tennessee State, Georgia Tech, Iowa, Kent State, Oklahoma State, Southern California, Stanford, Texas A&M, UCLA, Virginia, Wake Forest, and Washington.
This year’s tournament will be held on Fri-Sat-Sun, October 19-21 on the Lakeside Course at GCOG. The daily grounds badge for all three days is $20, however, we offer free badges to any and all high school players and coaches who wish to attend the event. This could be a great opportunity for many of the players and coaches around Georgia to come see some of the best collegiate players in the nation and what it is like to play at that level. At present, there are over 40 players competing on the Nationwide, PGA, and European tour who have competed in past USCC tournaments. Some of these include Rickie Fowler, Webb Simpson, Roberto Castro, Jhonatton Vegas, Kevin Chappell, Chris Kirk, Cameron Tringale, Michael Thompson, Kyle Stanley, Jamie Lovemark…in addition there are many competing on the other professional tours.
I wanted to send you this message early to get this on your calendar and to share the information with the coaches in your organization. As we approach the tournament, I will forward additional information on how to request tickets for your coaches and players. I have also provided some links below regarding the event and the charities it supports.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.
Best regards,
Rich Dennis
