LYNCHBURG, VA — The Captains Club announced today that the Quality Inn in Lynchburg, VA will host the 2009 Carl Spackler Open Championship. The hotel was chosen for price, but more importantly for its location to Cattle Annies and Big Lick Tropical Bar.

"We are very excited about the Quality Inn and their ability to host our participants inside 40 non-smoking rooms," says Captains Club member Tom McCauley. "Everyone that knows me knows that I should not be driving a vehicle anywhere. The Quality Inn is 50 yards from a Outback Steakhouse, 250 yards from Cattle Annies, and 275 yards from Big Lick Tropical Bar."

The Quality Inn will provide two participants two queen size beds, microwave, and refrigerator. The hotel will also provide a deluxe continental breakfast, exercise room, outdoor swimming pool.

"We were very happy to acquire a banquet room inside the hotel," says McCauley. "This will steamline the tournament player meeting, pizza dinner on Friday, awards dinner, and awards presentation."

The hotel is located off Route 29 Business in Lynchburg. A map SOUTH-SIDE UP is available at: http://www.poststats.com/public/lynchburg-map.htm
