Bullish Posted June 6, 2006 Group: Member Topic Count: 11 Content Count: 132 Reputation: 0 Days Won: 0 Joined: 01/22/2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Just wanted to let everyone know how much fun it was to participate in the 2nd Annual ATH golf event. There are still 3 more left throughout the state and if you can make one of them I highly encourage it. This event was much better then last years and Eric has proven he is willing to learn from past events and make each event better. Hopefully more posters in this forum can participate in the future. Every time I have been around the coaches, I have garnered more respect for them as people outside of the coaching world. They all have great personalities and make the outing a great way to get to know them.The event is not cheap and that might stop some people from participating however I can not imagine that other BCS schools make their entire Athletic Dept available for less then the $700 it cost for a 4 some. I suggest a lower level sponsorship deal and that way the golf is included. Anyway, if some of the posters in this forum were able to participate I would like to read your ideas on how the event went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We worked hard to make the event better this year and will hopefully continue to add to it each year. Remember, even if you don't golf you can come to the dinner portion of any event. We make the dinner feel like a separate event.I hope to have some photos from the event up in the next day or two so take a look at them. The Polk event is a little less expensive to than the others. Only $500 a foursome.Thanks again Bullish and everyone else who attended yesterday. We're in Atlanta on Monday and Longboat Key next Friday so see you there.Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a foursome and will be locking it down soon if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very generously being supported by a handful of corporate sponsors including: Hooters, Connelly Solutions, Bonefish Grill, MI Homes, and Colliers Arnold.There is no chance of this event not happening this year. We are looking forward to it. Let me know if you have any questions.Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the lower price mean the event will be lacking? Should I consider another event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is happening and is a good event. Of all the areas we go to Lakeland is probably the toughest as it is so Gator oriented. This event is crucial in converting them.It will happen. I can tell you the coaches attending that event are Leavitt, McCullum, Lessinger, Holt, Fee, Fleck, Kiefer. Our Athletic Director Doug Woolard will be there as well. We are adding teams every day but until it is sold out we will always need more.If you have any questions, just let me know.Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
