Northwest Dodge Dealers Pacific Amateur Golf Classic (PacAm) Dates Change in 2010
If there is a go-to place for great golf playing and watching this summer, it is Oregon. Golf’s top senior players will be making Sunriver Resort’s Crosswater Course one of their destinations on The Champions Tour, participating in the JELD-WEN Tradition Championship. Vying for a purse of $2.5 million dollars, amazing players like Greg Norman, Tom Watson, and native Oregonian Peter Jacobson will test their skills on Crosswater’s 600+ scenic acres.
Sunriver Resort, worthy of hosting honors, is an impressive destination rich with natural beauty. The land, once covered with water, was developed in 1965. The grounds are filled with the perfect amount of woodlands and preserved wetlands along side accommodations that leave guests feeling well cared for. Mark your calendar for August 19-22 and make plans to and watch the talented golfers in action.
If a great week of competitive play is on your list, make plans to participate in the Northwest Dodge Dealers Pacific Amateur Golf Classic (PacAm) also hosted by Sunriver Resort.
The PacAm, now in its 14th year has made a few changes to better accommodate the field of participants. Previous years have been a bit chilly for golfers as October in Central Oregon is quite cool. Listening to players and working hard, the Central Oregon Visitors Association moved the PacAm to summer dates of August 30th through September 4th. Abiding by the USGA Rules of Golf, players can plan on a fun yet challenging three day, 54 hole, net, stroke-play tournament. Adding yet another reason to participate is the Golf Digest & Golf World Experience Tour that will wrap up the PacAm with a two-day celebration of golf, showcasing the finest golf equipment complete with demos and activities.
Stay-and-watch or stay-and-play. Both the JELD-WEN Tradition and the PacAm are impressive, fun events. The Sunriver Resort has accommodations to please and the towns of Sunriver and nearby Bend have plenty of activities to please your entourage. For more information, please visit www.pacamgolf.com.
