WINSTON-SALEM, NC — Players now only have 10 days to send in their final payment, CFO Rick Dosky announced in his press release from the Spackler Business Office.  ?Prompt payments are critical now, as we?ll be sending the remaining Lodging and Course balance payments in to Tanglewood Park on May 3rd,? added Dosky.

As of April 19, 15 of the 48 players have a zero balance remaining, and 70% of the entire balance due is covered.  ?I certainly hope that I don?t have to go house-to-house again this year, because it puts me in a really bad mood,? said VP of Player Discipline, Don Creighton.  ?I really don?t think I?ll have to do that this year though, since 70% of the balance is in.  Just get your check in to Dosky by May 1, and there won?t be any problems,? he added.

?I really think that we?re doing very well this year with all of the deadlines,? said Chairman Greg Long.  ?I just want to make sure that I get a reminder out to everyone, because I know that they?re all extremely busy at home and at work.  These guys have to be giving their wives, girlfriends or mommies a lot of special attention right about now, since the tournament is only 49 days away,? added Long.
