2017 Crooked Stick Invitational 2017 Crooked Stick Invitational 2017 CROOKED STICK INVITATIONAL 2017 CROOKED STICK INVITATIONAL Dear Players & Coaches: On behalf of the staff and membership of Crooked Stick Golf Club, it’s my pleasure to welcome you to our Club and the 2017 Crooked Stick Invitational. We are excited about the event and the privilege of hosting some of the top collegiate players and teams from around the country. We are hopeful that you will enjoy the challenges and thrills of the wonderful golf course that Pete Dye built for us. Crooked Stick has a rich history in terms of world-class championship golf. We began our relationship with the USGA by hosting the 1982 Boys Junior Championship and have since hosted five additional USGA Championships including the 1993 U.S. Women’s Open and most recently the 2009 U.S. Senior Open. John Daly’s historic win in the 1991 PGA Championship, the United States victory in the 2005 Solheim Cup along with the BMW Championship in 2012 and 2106 have also been highlights of the Club’s competitive golf history. As you can see hosting major golf events and testing the best players in the world under championship conditions is one of the goals of our membership. We are pleased to continue that tradition by hosting this Collegiate Invitational. It is our hope that players, coaches and spectators have a wonderful experience here at Crooked Stick. While it’s late in our golf season, we are confident the golf course will be challenging and enjoyable. Lastly and most importantly I hope you will please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your visit more enjoyable. We want you to have a first-hand experience of “Hoosier Hospitality” while you are here! Best of luck in the tournament!

Aaron Eckstein was a two-time captain of the team; Garland Green finished his career ninth on the Tech’s All-Time Scoring list; and Marshall Bailey became only the second Hokie golfer to compete in four NCAA Championships. Head Coach Jay Hardwick’s task has been to continue to develop his returning players while integrating three promising freshmen into the team, all toward the ultimate goal of competing for the national championship. The season began just outside Chicago, Ill., with the Hokies making their first appearance in the Northern Intercollegiate at renowned Rich Harvest Farms, site of the 2009 Solheim Cup. The team finished fourth against a talented field, and junior Mikey Moyers tied for third individually. The Hokies then finished fifth at the VCU Shootout at Hermitage Country Club, much closer to home in Richmond, Va. Freshman Scott Vincent led the team, tying for 11th place on the same course that he had won the Valentine Invitational just a few weeks earlier.

  • Greg Norman Announces Final Field for 17 Annual Franklin Templeton
    Greg Norman Announces Final Field For 17th Annual Franklin Templeton Shootout NAPLES, Fla. (September 19, 2005) – Greg Norman announced today that the 24 - player field is completed for the Franklin Templeton Shootout, which returns to Naples for the fifth consecutive year November 9 -13. Added today were Swedish sensations Jesper Parnevik and Fredrik Jacobson . Parnevik is a five -time winner on the PGA TOUR and has won nine more titles around the globe. He has participated in three Ryder Cup matches f or the European Team and will make his second Shootout appearance. Jacobson has three European Tour titles, all of which came in 2003. During a six -year span on that Tour, he collected six runner -up finishes and 16 top -10s. Also in 2003, he finished among the top six at both the U.S. and British Opens. This will be Jacobson’s first Franklin Templeton Shootout. He joins Tim Herron and Ian Poulter as newcomers. With the addition of Parnevik and Jacobson (Sweden), the 24 -player field now has a distinct inter national flavor with seven participants representing four countries: Norman, Adam Scott and Steve Elkington (Australia), Nick Price (South Africa) and Poulter (England). This marks the greatest depth of international talent in the Shootout’s 17 - year histor y. “We welcome the two gentlemen from Sweden, “ Norman said. “Now that the field is complete, it certainly does have an interesting mix of current winners, past champions, Hall of Fame members and an international flair.” Winners this year, include Olin Browne , who captured the Deutsche Bank Championship Labor Day weekend for his third TOUR victory and Mark Calcavecchia , who won the following week at the Bell Canadian Open.

    Women’s Golf Tournament Program - 116 pages PING CELEBRATES 50 YEARS IN G OLF RICH HARVEST FARMS Fifty years ago, the first PING® putter was shipped from the Redwood City, California, garage of Karsten and Louise Solheim. The PING® 1A™ putter inaugurated a revolution in golf club design and manufacturing that would see Karsten’s company grow into a brand world-renowned for innovation and unequalled quality. Karsten, with his family at his side, went on to pioneer custom fitting and bring new processes to the manufacturing of golf clubs, including investment casting and heat treating. He recognized the value of scientific research and employed high speed cameras and a robotic golfer (The PING® Man) to analyze the dynamics of the golf club. His insistence on adhering to strict engineering principles and tight manufacturing tolerances raised the level of product performance and quality throughout the golf industry. It all led to more enjoyment for golfers all over the world.
