Feel Golf Co. CEO Lee Miller of Monterey announced this week that Feel Golf will be the title sponsor for the upcoming Spring Invitational Golf Tournament featuring golfers from highly ranked college programs all around the country.
The event will be played on Bayonet and Blackhorse golf courses in Seaside, CA on March 5-7, 2006 and is the first of its kind. An assembly of 17 to 22 teams with 90 players will participate in the 36 hole stroke play, two day format.
Participating schools are from the NCAA D-II, NAIA, and NCAA D-III divisions. Attending are teams from Chico State University, Mesa State, Saint Martin’s University, West Texas A&M, Cal State University at Monterey Bay (CSUMB) and other notables coming to show off their skills on these difficult courses, which has been the home of the PGA second stage "Q" school, and many Nationwide PGA tour events. Both courses are considered among the toughest "tracks" in the USA.
Said Miller, "This is an opportunity for Feel Golf to give back to the golfing community locally and at the same time, expose our company to players from around the country. We have always been very active on the LPGA, so it will be nice to see some of the future players that should go on to careers in golf. As a PGA member and teacher, it is always gratifying to see young players develop."
Said Clyde Folk, Tournament Director; "We really appreciate the support of Feel Golf. It is great to have a local golf club manufacturer who has been in the business for many years, bring their experience and expertise as PGA members, to our local event. It is important for the ladies and their schools to see the support from a company that has such far reaching global exposure bringing a sense of ‘the next level’ to our event. We expect to see some very competitive rounds and it is great that so many different Colleges and University’s are coming."
