GROVE CITY, OH — The 2006 Carl Spackler Open Championship begins in 83 days and the second phase of the tournament began last week. The tournament options started on March 8 with nearly half the players communicating their desires. The business office added 3 additional preferences this week and notes all interested participants may want to revisit their selections.

"We have lined up several options for June," says Rick Dosky, a.k.a Doskey, at the monthly Captains Club press conference. "We forgot a few things and slipped them into the selector last week."

The tournament player options are scheduled to be available for at least another 3 weeks. The online option selector can be completed after sign-in, clicking on "June 8 Trip" and then clicking on "Option Selector" from the event menu. The options are indeed optional. All players are encouraged to fill them out, however the show will go on regardless.

"Most of the options will be removed from the option selector on April 9," says Doskey. "Balances are due in the mail to me 3 weeks later." The participant balances page will display all payments, credits, and expenses when a golfer is signed into the website.
