$10,000 PGA TOUR Superstore Challenge To Benefit Event
ST. AUGUSTINE, FL – On October 28, the fifth annual Invitational for The First Tee (The Invitational) will be held at the beautiful Callaway Gardens Resort in Pine Mountain, Ga. The Invitational is one of two sanctioned First Tee events held nationally. And now, thanks to sponsorship from the PGA TOUR SUPERSTORE, golfers will have an opportunity for their team to win four playing spots in the Invitational through the $10,000 PGA TOUR SUPERSTORE CHALLANGE.
Between now and the end of September, golfers that win charity or corporate events sponsored by the Superstore that have registered for THE CHALLENGE, will earn their chance to win the PGA TOUR SUPERSTORE CHALLANGE. All of those victorious teams will be invited "the world’s largest golf reception," which will be held on October 4 at the Superstore’s Buckhead location. Throughout the evening, teammates will be eligible to win prizes, gift certificates, merchandise and more in drawings and contests. In addition, a raffle and silent auction will be held offering attendees the chance to win additional golf memorabilia throughout the reception.
The grand prize will be an all-expense paid team playing spot (four players) valued at $10,000 in the FIFTH ANNUAL Invitational for The First Tee at The Lodge & Spa at Callaway Gardens. All first class hospitality and golf expenses are paid after team members arrive at the resort on Sunday and register for three days and two nights of golf, fun and fellowship. All proceeds will go the Invitational for The First Tee.
"The PGA TOUR SUPERSTORE is proud to be a major sponsor of The Invitational for The First Tee," said Steve Conwell, Vice President of Marketing and Community Relations. "We created the ‘PGA TOUR SUPERSTORE CHALLENGE’ as an opportunity for golf enthusiasts to join us in the support of such a worthwhile program."
