(LAWRENCE, KS) – Legendary golfer Billy Casper will entertain golfers at Alvamar Country Club during a meet-and-greet session that is open to the public on Wednesday, April 18 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
The Masters and two-time U.S. Open champion with 51 PGA TOUR victories will offer shot-making tips to golfers, sign autographs, take photos and share tales of his storied career. Casper will also conduct a private Q&A session with Alvamar members.
“I look forward to visiting Alvamar and making some new friends,” says Casper, a member of the PGA and World Golf Hall of Fame. “Talking with fellow golfers who love this great game is one of my favorite things.”
“We’re ecstatic Billy Casper will join us at Alvamar,” says Bob Johnson, Chairman of the Alvamar Country Club Board of Directors. “His unbelievable career, affection for the game and genial personality will make for an experience our members won’t soon forget.”
Home to the University of Kansas men’s and women’s golf team, Alvamar – managed by Billy Casper Golf – boasts two challenging courses, swimming pool, several dining options and other amenities.
With a private and public course, Alvamar is considered one of the most popular venues in the Kansas City Metro area.
The 18-holes, 7,092-yard, par 72 Championship Course at Alvamar – named one of America’s top 75 public courses by Golf Digest – is comprised of the Jayhawk and Quail Creek nines. Characterized by large greens and flowing fairways, the parkland-style course is known for its unique combination of playability and test of skills.
The private Members Course, ranked among the “Best in State” by the Kansas Golf Association, requires pinpoint accuracy onto narrow fairways and undulating greens. At 18 holes and 6,829 yards, the par 72 layout meanders through naturally wooded and steeply sloped terrain.
State-of-the-art practice facilities feature a double-ended driving range and a 40,000-square-foot short game area with three practice bunkers, and two putting and chipping greens. PGA-certified instruction is also popular.
The clubhouse includes a fully-stocked pro shop, main dining room for upscale cuisine AlvaBar & Grill for casual get-togethers. Large banquet facilities make Alvamar the perfect place for corporate outings, weddings and other social engagements.
