POTTSVILLE, PA — The largest golf trip in America did it again.  They beefed up the services included in a simple $324 fee.  The group now set at 68 players has delivered one of the most impressive lists of entertainment and services every thought imaginable.

"We are very excited and not about to ruin the best week of the entire year," says Don Creighton, Vice President of Consumption Management.  "I am in charge and guaranteeing safety first and plenty of alcohol second."

A school bus was scheduled to take 44 golfers to the golf course on Friday morning and return them safely.  The Captains Club has decided with Creighton guidence to add shuttles on Thursday and Saturday for player convenience.

The school bus will make two trips from the River Inn to Maroon's on Thursday night starting at 8:30PM.  The other trip will leave the River Inn at 9:00PM.  "Everyone should be safe and comfortable this year," says Don Creighton.  "We even have van service on Thursday night to stagger players back to the River Inn.  Nobody should be driving unless they are really stupid."

The school bus returns on Saturday for two more trips to the awards dinner at Maroon's.  The first bus leaves the River Inn at 7:45PM.  The second leaves at 8:15PM.  The Awards Dinner starts at 8:30PM with the presentations immediately afterwards.

"Donny did a really good job this year," says Jason Watson. "I am proud to be part of such outstanding group of guys."

Maroon's Sports Bar will host the Casino Contest and SNN Pregame Show on Wednesday night.  Free van service will be available for 6 hours.  All players are expected to check-in and call for van transportation.

The 2005 Carl Spackler Open begins in only 15 days.  Rumors have surfaced that John McAninch has retrieved his golf clubs from the attic and Jim English has given up on spring fishing for major championship preparations.
