CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Lance Two-Man Team Championship, a staple on the Charlotte golf calendar, moves to a new venue this summer.
The July 12-13 event takes place at Olde Sycamore Golf Plantation. This is the seventh year for the tournament, which had previously been played at Stonebridge Golf Club.
Tournament director Dennis McCormac believes the change of venue will add to the event’s luster.
“Olde Sycamore is well-known among better players for its excellent course conditions,” McCormac said. “The club also provides us with more amenities and a convenient location just off I-485. This should be a great venue for 2008, and hopefully years to come.”
The Lance Two-Man has established itself as one of the premier best-ball championships in the greater Charlotte region and expects to draw a field of 55-60 teams.
Competition is in two divisions – gross and net – with a minimum purse of $5,000 in gift certificates from Edwin Watts Golf. All golfers with verifiable handicaps of 0-16 are eligible to enter.
Format is 36 holes of best ball, with gift certificates awarded to the top 10 teams in the gross division and top 10 teams in the net division.
Entry fee is $175 per person or $350 per team. Entry includes: cart and green fees, range balls, Lance snacks, Saturday lunch, and prizes. Practice rounds are available that week at a special rate.
Applications are available at Olde Sycamore and all Edwin Watts locations in Charlotte. Registration is also available online at www.amateurgolftour.net.
