BARNESVILLE, PA — A mandatory tournament player's meeting is scheduled for 10:30am next Thursday under the pavilion at Mountain Valley Golf Course. The required meeting will take approximately 60 minutes and start exactly 30 minutes after the Yuengling Brewery Tour.

"Our meeting will cover many things," says Chairman Greg Long. "Please be on time or early."  The meeting will start promptly at 10:30 regardless of attendance as the meeting runs right into the Zavinski 100, group picture, range time, and Tournament Honoree Tee Off at 12:15PM.

The range will be open for players skipping the brewery tour.

"I like the meeting as I get my first glimpse of the Golden Jacket," says Matt Pritchard.  "I also come away with full knowledge of the week ahead."

The meeting is a chance for player introductions, quick itinerary, contest and award explanations, gift disbursement, rule discussion, and player expectations.  The daily pairing sheets for Round 1 will also be distributed and explained at the meeting.

The Carl Spackler Open Championship will begin in 7 days. Reportedly, Casey Nelson and Scott Zavinski ran into each other in a Richmond Kmart trying to buying up the last pocket-size notebook for course notes.  Everything appears to be ready for the 2005 major championship in the Pocono Mountains.
