2013 Tavistock Cup Announces 24-Player Field Six Golf Clubs Will Compete at Isleworth Golf & Country Club for the World Golf and Country Club Championship FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact Krista Zilizi [email protected] 407-909-7232 2013 Tavistock Cup Announces 24-Player Field Six golf clubs will compete at Isleworth Golf & Country Club for the World Golf and Country Club Championship WINDERMERE, Fla. (March 12, 2013) – The field for the 10th annual Tavistock Cup has been finalized with a collection of 24 players who include major champions, Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup team members and professional golf’s most accomplished veterans. The 2013 Tavistock Cup, which will be contested at Isleworth Golf & Country Club March 25 and 26 and televised live by the Golf Channel, features six teams for the first time in tournament history. Oak Tree National and Primland join Albany, Isleworth, Lake Nona Golf & Country Club and Queenwood Golf Club in this PGA TOUR-sanctioned event known as the World Golf and Country Club Championship. The six clubs will feature four-man teams. Team Albany will include Tim Clark, Ian Poulter, Justin Rose and Tiger Woods. Team Isleworth’s roster includes Tavistock Cup newcomer D.A. Points and returning players Brian Davis, Bo Van Pelt and Bubba Watson. Team Lake Nona, four-time defending champion, is represented by Ross Fisher, Peter Hanson, Graeme McDowell and Henrik Stenson. Tavistock Cup fixture Charles Howell III joins Team Oak Tree National along with Rickie Fowler, Bob Tway and Scott Verplank, who are all making their Tavistock Cup debuts. Team Primland’s Fred Couples, Bill Haas, Jay Haas and Webb Simpson will all be playing the Tavistock Cup for the first time. Representing Team Queenwood, Tom Lewis will make his second Tavistock Cup appearance and Thomas Bjorn, Paul McGinley and Adam Scott return for their third Tavistock Cup start. The professional members of these six golf clubs have collectively won more than 1,012 worldwide tournaments, including 67 major championships, through 2012. Defending champion Team Lake Nona has collected five Tavistock Cup victories (2007, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012). Isleworth won the Tavistock Cup in 2004, 2006 and 2008. The 2005 matches between Lake Nona and Isleworth ended in a tie following a sudden-death playoff. The Tavistock Cup will be played on Isleworth’s championship golf course, the creation of Arnold Palmer and Ed Seay and later redesigned by Steve Smyers. More than 25 years later, Isleworth is consistently ranked one of the longest and most challenging courses in the nation and features large, undulating, fast greens. Established in 2004, the Tavistock Cup began as a friendly cross-town rivalry between Isleworth and Lake Nona’s touring professional members. In 2011, the Tavistock Cup introduced a four-way competition for the first time by bringing in Albany and Queenwood. On its 10th anniversary, the Tavistock Cup expanded to a six-team contest with the addition of Oak Tree National and Primland golf clubs. With a longstanding commitment to philanthropy, the Tavistock Cup through the Tavistock Foundation has generated millions of dollars for charity over the last decade. Beneficiaries throughout the years have included various player charities as well as The First Tee of Lakeland, Orlando Minority Youth Golf Association, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, The UCF Foundation and the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute. The Tavistock Cup is unique in that tickets are not sold to the public. Only club members, sponsors, designated charities and invited guests are admitted to the two-day event, and there are no ropes separating the world’s best players from the spectators. The tournament will be broadcast live on the Golf Channel in the United States and Canada and airs on international affiliates throughout the United Kingdom, Asia, Australia, Latin America and South Africa.

Live Auction The Legend of the Starfish A vacationing businessman was walking along a beach when he saw a young girl. Along the shore were many starfish that had been washed up by the tide and were sure to die before the tide returned. The girl walked slowly along the shore and occasionally reached down and tossed the beached starfish back into the ocean. The businessman, hoping to teach the girl a little lesson in common sense, walked up to the girl and said, “I have been watching what you are doing. You have a good heart, and I know you mean well, but do you realize how many beaches there are around here and how many starfish are dying on every beach every day.

There were more golf courses than there were golfers. Definitely, there were too many golf professionals. Some golf courses were closing which was the best for the business in general but difficult for the employees. One golf writer stated that for the first time more golfers were on waiting lists to get out of clubs in the United States that there were waiting to get into clubs. In January the PGA made some changes to the apprentice program. One of those was that all applicants to the apprentice program would have to complete three online courses and pass a knowledge course before being al- lowed to register in the program.

  • Tripp Davis' Renovation at Oak Tree National Sets the Stage for U.S
    Tripp Davis’ Renovation at Oak Tree National Sets the Stage for U.S. Senior Open Norman, OK (June 24, 2014)— When the greatest senior golfers in the world gather in two weeks for the 2014 U.S. Senior Open at Oak Tree National in Edmond, Oklahoma, they will be testing their game on one of Pete Dye’s best courses, thanks to the recent renovation work by Tripp Davis and Associates. “The golf course at Oak Tree National went through a variety of design changes over the years since Pete first designed it,” said Davis. “We were brought in to regain the best of its original Pete Dye character and we think the pros will be very pleased with the final outcome.” Davis and his team worked to return the features of the course to its original form adding a few enhancements for the modern game. All tees and bunkers were rebuilt and strategically restored. 18th hole “The greens and greens surrounds were what made Oak Tree so strategic and we like what we recaptured,” commented Davis who credits Scott Verplank, Bob Tway, Willie Wood, club owner, Everett Dobson and project shaper Bill “Hollywood” Willingham as part of the team who provided ongoing input on changes throughout the course. “It can still be the toughest course in the country, but it is very strategic and option oriented,” said the former All-American from Oklahoma University.
