BARNESVILLE, PA — With the Carl Spackler Open due to begin in just 191 days, the tournament itinerary has been revamped to include the best structure for ultimate entertainment. As the itinerary already includes prep tournament tasks and deadlines, the tournament week time is what's most important.

"We have really strived to make necessary scheduling changes from the first four years", said CEO Jamie Myers. "The big hitters are dual tees, Thursday morning player meeting, golf contests and Maroon's Sports Bar. We also asked Jason Ridgeway to work with players like Joe Caridi that need help with their golf game."

The Captains Club scaled back the required 72 holes to 54 holes in the 2003 event to help with the overall value of the weekend. The group added an optional 18 hole non-tournament event on Friday afternoon and "Madness on the Mountain Party" on Friday night. An awards dinner is scheduled at Maroon's. With the increased player volume, the Captains Club has returned dual tee times off both #1 and #10 on Thursday and especially on Friday to save valuable sleep time. Lastly, the Club keeps the Saturday tee time up to 8am eastern time allow for increased entertainment on Saturday night.

The detailed itinerary allows time for transportation time to the golf course, multiple tee times, range time, player time for dinner, golf and plenty of rest. The field of an expected 60 players should be as organized as ever. The full itinerary can be reviewed on the green official tournament section of the website.
