Tournament Talk Published for the volunteers and friends of the Bridgestone Invitational Volume 10, Issue 3 Tuesday, July 31, 2012 330 644-2299 for Tournament Info Follow us on Twitter @BridgeInVol 2012 2012 Volunteer Tournament Chair Tom Batten Welcome to the 2012 Bridgestone Invitational. I hope you had a great year since we were last together. Thank you for volunteering and for your community spirit. With the kickoff party at Prime 93 behind us it is time to turn our attention to this year’s golf tournament. We have another outstanding field of players coming to Akron and several new events added to our tour that will expand our part of the world stage. New to the PGA TOUR and our tournament is a split the pot with charity or 50/50 raffle. There are three prize drawings beginning Friday (from Wednesday, Thursday and Friday sales), Saturday and Sunday. We will have stationary Kiosks as well as roving sellers. Since this is a new event, we have a limited number of shifts that still need to be filled to help sell tickets. If you’re interested, please ask your Executive Vice Chair, Glenda, or myself for details. In addition to the 50/50 drawings, there is an opportunity for volunteers and golf fans to sign up and win a foursome golf package at the Firestone South course. Finally and because Akron is the home of the All American Soap Box Derby, some of our professional golfers will be taking a ride down the hill, just for the thrill at Derby Downs. Please stay tuned to future newsletters for details. Wishing everyone a week of fun and excitement! Lunch in the Volunteer Compound Tomorrow’s Menu (Wednesday) Italian Sausage Baked with Onion and Bell Pepper Individual Bags of Potato Chips Southwestern Tossed Salad Brownies Lunch will be served daily from 11:00am to 2:00pm in the Volunteer Compound.
