VIRGINIA BEACH, VA — The Carl Spackler Open Championship, #1 amateur tournament, will open first round play on Thursday, June 7 and require a minimum of four full kitchen passes. The field promises to be a group of top amateurs in the golfing world. Organizers expect additional growth, but only a minor 10-20% for 2007.

Jeff Tatum, a first year member said it best, "It is important to plant the seed for the tournament immediately. This goes for the non-whipped guys. Along with planting, watering the seed is extremely important to keep the flower growing and healthy. Your kitchen passes allocation should be planted and watered bi-weekly through December. This is critical to your allocation."

Tatum's profound statement and reference to controlling wives echoed loudly across the field. Jeff added, "The seed will always grow better with sunlight. Make sure your seed planting and watering occurs in the sunlight when your flower is most receptive. Rainy days just don't work well."

With that powerful statement, Tatum indicated that he has in the past and will be attempting to plant his seed before football season. "It really hurts when you are not in control", said Tatum.

The Open is less than 280 days away and invitations to be available in 45 days. With the help of the Captains Club, Carl Spackler has decided on a few possible locations for the tournament including the state of Michigan and Kentucky. The location along with exact pricing will be released in October and November.
