ROCKY MOUNT, NC — The Captain?s Club ensured a bright future for the Carl Spackler Open today after a Chris Lashley national letter of intent was received.  As a rookie, this Macho Stallion is ready to make an impact that cannot be ignored.

Lashley, a close friend of CEO Jamie Myers, has recently released a player profile photo with an aggressive game face that should scare some of the field.  "I am extremely excited about this year's recruiting or rookie class," CEO Jamie Myers said. "This rookie has a list of national tournament experience.  The experience speaks volumes about his ability to perform, and they will be great additions to the tournament. This is great for the Open Championship and the phenomenal field of golfers."

"The thing I've been most pleased in 2001 is the way I've handled the pressure when I've been in the thick of things," the Macho Stallion said.  ?When you play golf with Myers, it is not fun.  It?s war out there.  He wants to kick my butt as much as I want to kick his.?

Lashley has been attracting media attention since registration back in the spring.  He has only recently taken off his mask.  Lashley will get his shot at the Championship trophy on April 18.  Stay tuned.
