December 13th event sponsored by Findlay Volkswagen and OB Sports allows fans to compete against Gulbis in closest-to-pin competition
NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nevada – LPGA star and Las Vegas resident, Natalie Gulbis, will tee it up on December 13, 2008 at Aliante Golf Club in an event to benefit the Fisher House FisherHouse.org, a not-for-profit organization that supports United States military families. Gulbis will be available at the club from 9 am to 10 am for an informal meet-and-greet/autograph signing. After that, she’ll set up on one of the par 3s to compete against the day’s golfers in a closest-to-the-pin contest.
Golfers interested in participating simply need to make a tee time at Aliante Golf Club for that day. To participate, call 702.399.4888, or book online at AlianteGolf.com.
Plus, Findlay Volkswagen FindlayVW.com will give away a brand new Volkswagen Passat to the golfer who makes a hole-in-one on a designated par 3.
“We are truly excited to host Natalie Gulbis Day at Aliante,” said Randy Weigman, General Manager of Aliante Golf Club. “Being so close to Nellis Air Force Base, we’ve always had a soft spot in our heart for the troops and all that they do for us. It’s only fitting that we leverage the game of golf along with one of the most popular players on the LPGA Tour to show our appreciation for their efforts.”
Other sponsors of the event include Aliante Station Casino & Hotel, Cleveland Golf, VegasGolfer magazine, OB Sports Golf Management and Red Bull Energy Drink.
