A Success
Story
Our 2005 Event was a smashing success - broadcast via America
One and select Fox Sports International networks worldwide.
Approximately 60 golfers from 15 countries attended the 2005
Playoff at the beautiful Rio Secco Golf Club in Las Vegas
in mid January of 2006. Many new friendships were made, and
a memorable, magical week was experienced by all who participated!
We had golfers from all over the world, including Wales, Ireland,
Scotland, England, USA, Australia, China, Canada, Thailand,
Germany, Sweden Spain, Netherlands Japan and South Korea. We
awarded cash prizes, two brand new Porsche Cayennes, 2 trips to
the Masters and all 60 Finalists received a full set of
Warrior Golf Clubs, golfing attire and much more.
Every facet of the event including tournament play, contests,
lunch and dinner breaks and festivities at night were all recorded
for broadcast via 4 hi def cameras, (one on a 30 foot jib arm)
during the tournament play (3 days), 1 behind the scenes for 5
days, 3 hi def following action during contest days, party
functions and during the final two days.
Everyone had a great time - fun, drama, conflict, suspense and
romance unfolded throughout the week. Our hosts, Gary Koch ( PGA
Champion, Tour player and NBC sports announcer) and the always
entertaining Tamara Clark ( Canadian actor, performer and amateur
golfer) made a great team, combining Gary's conservative take on
golf and Tamara's zany and humorous approach. Scott Smith, a long
drive professional and world record holder of 539 yd drive also
added to the week with tips and golf tricks for the finalists on
the long drive hole, which included driving a ball through 3/4"
plywood.
Representatives from three of eTour's benefactors were also
present : NASCA - Hunting for an Australia Tiger - Australia,
Ace Kids Golf - California and The First Tee Nevada Chapter,
enjoyed a week in Las Vegas and a golf camp with Gary Koch
and Scott Smith where they received tips, instruction
and analysis on their game.
The week wrapped up with an hour long Grand Finale filmed at
the Great Hall in the Fashion Show Mall, a venue only to be
found in Las Vegas - with visuals that delighted and surprised
everyone. The program included an entertaining choreographed golf
attire fashion show with designers from UK and Europe, the
$25,000. Putt, entertainment from Eszence, Erin Jordan and the
awarding of the Porsche Cayennes to Kent Skene from Canada and
Pauline Bramley from the UK and the trips to the Masters Golf
Event in Augusta, GA.
The 2005 Event was a great success, as we contributed close
to $70K to charities around the world and the select Fox
Sports International Networks and American One Networks acquired
the broadcast rights and are airing the show.
Our goals for the 2006 event are to raise a minimum of $250K
for our charities and have at least 100 Finalists from 25
countries attend the 2006 Playoff scheduled for Las Vegas
in April 2007.
