LIVERMORE, CA (June 2, 2008) – Each golfer who plays in the 10th Anniversary Celebration Tournament for The Course At Wente Vineyards has a chance to drive away in a new Mercedes-Benz, which is the grand prize for a hole in one.
The festivities, in honor of the first Greg Norman-designed course in Northern California turning 10 this year, are Sunday, June 22. The 10th Anniversary Celebration Tournament will feature an afternoon shotgun, gourmet barbecue on The Grill patio overlooking the 18th green, featuring food and wine tasting.
“We came up with this concept as the perfect way to celebrate with our many guests who have been coming to play The Course At Wente Vineyards the past 10 years,” said Christine Wente, vice president for lifestyle marketing and fifth generation member of the famed winemaking family, whose winery is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year, as well.
There are to be special TaylorMade and Nike demo clubs to try on the practice range and merchandise booths on hand to offer specialty lines from Oakley, .EP Pro, Antigua, Weatherproof and Ashworth. There will be numerous drawings for prizes, as well as a variety of on-course contests.
Limited spots in the special event are available to the public, who can join the Wente family, staff, members and special guests who will gather for a celebration of golf, food, wine and friends. Registration fee is $110 per player.
The Course at Wente Vineyards is a tour-tested layout that provides tournament-quality conditions year round.
