PERU, IN — The tournament notebook was released months ago within the website. The notebook has lots of general information regarding the 2008 Major Championship, which starts in a few days. Mike Trojanowski, winner of the 2002 Carl Spackler Open Championship, took a moment to explain the advantages to being informed.

"Our website is all about providing information and eliminating repeatable questions," said Trojanowski during a press conference. "The notebook, itinerary, and roommates are available online."

The notebook is available off the homepage. Click "NOTES" in the lower menu and select a topic in the drop down.

"The notebook is always being updated," says Trojanowski. "This has always been the general place to obtain information about your 96-hour golf party. I find lots of useful information in it. I am never officially packed until I cross off everything on the "Do Not Forget" list inside the notebook."

Notebook entries have dates of last update to ensure everyone is getting the most updated information.

The notebook provides expectations for the week in Peru. Specific tournament information, bus service, food, lodging, and contests are just some of the chapters available in the notebook.

"The notebook is also printable for the busy," added Trojanowski. "The really busy participants should print a copy and read it on the airplane or toilet. I do recommend reading everything before leaving town, but that is not always an option. Print a copy of the itinerary while your at it."

The general purpose of the tournament notebook is make the Carl Spackler Open run as if we have been going to Peru, Indiana for 10 straight years. Our ability to obtain 72 knowledgable participants enhances the event.

"The most unnecessary statement continues to be one of the most common," says Trojanowski. "Nobody told me that."

Daily Pairing Sheets for Wednesday will be available at the Best Western Circus City or Rock Hollow practice range on Wednesday. All golfers should acquire a copy to remain informed.

The 2008 Carl Spackler Open Championship starts next Wednesday with the practice round. A mandatory player meeting is scheduled for 8:45AM at the Rock Hollow clubhouse. All participants should plan to ride the Shuttle Bus from the hotel.
