Veteran’s
Day to thank those who served and/or are serving our country. We hope you were
able to thank a Veteran, as well. We are so grateful to those who protect our
country’s freedom. In fact, Military Appreciation Day is something we look
forward to each year of The
McGladrey Classic because it gives us an
opportunity to publicly thank those who serve. Check out the picture from this
year’s tournament – it’s one of our favorites.
Also
earlier this week Sea Island (home of The McGladrey Classic) shared some
exciting news: they named John Wade as the new head golf pro at The Lodge. Wade
will be in charge of all golf operations at The Lodge, which is located between
Plantation and Seaside golf courses – the two courses that will be used at the
2015 McGladrey Classic.
Team
McGladrey Member Davis
Love III’s and his brother Mark’s ‘Love Golf Design’ firm was hired to
renovate Sea Pines’ Ocean Course. The course, located
in Hilton Head, SC, will close for play October 2015 and reopen in September
2016. We look forward to seeing the new-and-improved course!
Speaking
of Davis, he’s in Mexico this week for the OHL Classic at Mayakoba. Davis had
an early start this morning teeing off at 6:35 a.m. CST from tee No. 10. Go,
Davis!
And
last but certainly not least, 2014 McGladrey Classic winner, Robert
Streb, was featured in a fantastic PGA
Tour article about the resemblance of his
career play to Jimmy Walker’s.
According to the article, in four starts this fall, Robert has three top 10s,
including a win. He has already secured his first trips to Kapalua and the
Master’s Tournament and leads the FedExCup standings. Pretty impressive for a
27-year-old in his third season on TOUR! Be sure to also check out this PGA Tour
video
on Robert and his wife talking about life off the course.
Check
back next week as we’ll have a special guest post from a volunteer at The
McGladrey Classic!
