Cascade Golfer Challenge Oct. 10 at Druids Glen
Wow!
We had a feeling you’d be pretty excited about the chance to play for two trips to Saturday and Sunday at the 2010 Masters in our upcoming Muckleshoot Masters at Druids Glen. But even in our most optimistic moments, we never anticipated the response we’d receive from one half-page ad and a 500-word description of the tournament.
More than 80 Cascade Golfer readers called within the first two weeks of publication to lay down their $300 team entry fees for the two-man, 18-hole tournament Sept. 12, at which we will send two teams – four lucky CG readers – to the 2010 Masters.
In fact, there’s been such an overwhelming amount of interest in the Muckleshoot Masters that we’ve decided to sponsor a second tournament this fall! And this time, we’re not just planning to let you walk a world-famous course — we’re fronting your greens fees.
Wait, did I say “a” world-famous course? How about if we put you on the tee box at not just one, but three of the most prestigious tracks on the globe?
Welcome to the 2009 Cascade Golfer Challenge, a one-day, two-man, Best Ball event Oct. 10 at Druids Glen Golf Club at which the winning team will walk away with a trip for two to the incredible Bandon Dunes Resort, on the southern Oregon coast, including a two-night stay in the fabulous resort hotel, plus rounds of golf at all three of Bandon’s incredible links layouts.
Play Pacific Dunes (Golf Digest’s No. 2 public track in the nation, behind only Pebble Beach) Bandon Dunes (No. 7) and Bandon Trails (No. 14) — a $1,300 value at peak times — on us!
In addition, we’re going to give the second and third- place teams stay-and-play packages to the sunny shores of Maui, including four nights’ lodging at the Westin Hotel and 36 holes of golf for two, a $2,000 value!
Other prizes will include a stay-and-play package to Coeur d’Alene Resort, tickets to the 2010 U.S. Senior Open, foursomes to Mt. Si and Dungeness Golf Clubs, twosomes to Pumpkin Ridge and other great Northwest tracks, plus clubs, merchandise and much, much more.
Entry fees will be $225 per team and entries will be capped at 72 teams — meaning that for a mere $112.50, you’re giving yourself a 1-in-24 chance to at least win a trip to Hawaii, and a better than 1-in-3 chance to walk away with no less than a shiny new stick for your bag.
If those odds sound as good to you as they do to me, toss your visor in the ring by contacting Cascade Golfer tournament coordinator Simon Dubiel at simon@cascadegolfer.com, or 206-367-2420, ext. 1236.
Just remember to act fast — if the response to the Muckleshoot Masters was any indication, spaces in the CG Challenge field will fill up quickly.
Just don’t be surprised if your non-golfing spouse starts cheering when your 18-footer to win lips out of the cup — especially if they have the swimsuit and suntan lotion already packed.
In the meantime, we’ll plan to see you at Druids Glen on Sept. 12 for the 2009 Muckleshoot Masters, and again Oct. 10 for the Cascade Golfer Challenge … just be sure to bring your “A” game. After all, only the truly elite get to walk the hallowed ground at Augusta National and Bandon Dunes. Well, the truly elite … and you!
