MYRTLE BEACH, SC — The 2002 Carl Spackler Open, #1 amateur tournament, will open first round play on Thursday, April 18, 2002 and require a minimum of four full kitchen passes.  The field promises to be a group of top amateurs in the golfing world and will cost approximately $275.

Matt Davis (i.e. Pokey), Vice-President of Kitchen Pass Allocation released in his annual PWRP address, ?It is important to plant the seed for the tournament immediately.  This goes for the non-whipped players.  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 October.  This is critical to your allocation.?  Pokey?s profound statement echoed loudly across the field.  He 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.?

The Open is 225 days away, however the letters of intent are scheduled for player delivery in 55 days or October 31, 2001.  Course selection will occur soon, however the Captain?s Club has acquired several group rates across the country.  One golf club is incredibly low at $204 for golf and accommodations and one club consists of a $187 group rate for four rounds of golf at $85 per round, per golfer, golf club.

With the help of the Captain?s Club, Carl Spackler has decided on a few possible locations for the tournament including Virginia Beach and Williamsburg, VA along with Atlanta, GA and Greensboro, NC.  The location will be released in October.
