GLEN ALLEN, VA — The Carl Spackler Open took a moment to remind everyone the importance of the website as a portal for group information. As the event continues to grow, the Captains Club has increased the services online and asks everyone to update their accounts and contact information.

"I am very happy with our website and what it brings to our wonderful group of guys," says member Joe Butkus. "As we expand our events toward national exposure, our member information will continue to be essential."

A complete golfer account supplies the computer an opportunity to conform to individual preferences and golfing history. The computer then uses the information to improve golfer usability in many areas including scorecard entry.

The player profiles control the course surveys, email generation and more importantly establish communication throughout the large group. The preferences within each golfer profile also allows each golfer to transfer ownership of their account to another member of the Carl Spackler Open.

"This is pretty important information with the next tournament registration right around the corner," said Butkus.

The health-related setback date is just another service provided in the golfer profile. Golfers with a physical restriction from hospitalization or sickness can set a new start date for stroke handicap analysis.

Joe Butkus submitted his latest round at the Crossings last week. He shot a 25-over 97 after his bogey binge. The round was good for 35 points.

In other news, Scott Zavinski continues to slowly drop within the Virtual Tournament into 5th position. Zavinski carded rounds of 41, 46, 39 and 30 in November. The slow down can be attributed to lower volume of rounds due to a new position at Circuit City.

The 2006 Virtual Tournament ends in 2 weeks.
