LYNCHBURG, VA — With the announcement of Lynchburg, VA as the choice venue for the 2009 Carl Spackler Open Championship, the Captains Club continued to release the itinerary stocked full of golf, services and entertainment.

Big Lick Tropical Bar & Grill immediately landed in the crowded Carl Spackler Open docket. "We cannot be anymore excited about Lynchburg and the opportunities it provides us," said Kevin Long, Jr.. "The Welcome Party will include lots of plasma tv's, outdoor patio, tiki bar, fully stocked bar, and an extensive food menu."

Big Lick is located just 275 yards from the Quality Inn. Participants will cross Odd Fellows Road and cut through the Lynchburg Inn parking lot.

"The specials are pretty stellar," says an always drunk Kevin Long. "The Happy Hour specials at The Big Lick are crazy. $1.00 high balls, $1.00 bottle beers, $1.10 drafts, and $2.50 margaritas. There are some trees behind the Lynchburg Inn where members like Gumby can puke."

Big Lick Tropical Bar and Cattles Annies cover almost all nightspots in the entire city of Lynchburg. A Buffalo Wild Wings 3 miles away and Mudpuppies approximately 7 miles away complete the nightspots around town. Both Mudpuppies and BW3's are not expected to be options inside the itinerary.

The Big Lick Trppical Bar & Grill also provides live music Friday and Saturday on the patio or inside depending on weather.

The 2009 Carl Spackler Open Championship is scheduled for June 10-13. There are presently 73 participants signed or with verbal commitment.
