It's official...we're less
than two months away from the 2015
McGladrey Classic, which will soon be renamed The
RSM Classic!
In addition to the tournament
name change, we have many other exciting things planned at this year’s event at
Sea Island. Join us for the charity putting event featuring PGA TOUR
players on Wed., Nov. 18, tournament play begins on Thurs., Nov. 19, music
superstar Martina McBride will perform on Sat., Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. ET at the
McKinnon St. Simons Island airport, and so much more. You won’t want to miss
it! If you plan to attend the tournament, check out the list
of prohibited items that PGA TOUR has recently shared - just to make sure
nothing slows you down when entering the gates.
As summer winds down and fall
starts to make an appearance around the country, golfers will need to change
their strategy when it comes to playing in the wind. Mark Love, Executive
Director of the Davis Love Foundation and brother of Team McGladrey member Davis
Love III, shared some tips on overcoming the challenge and avoiding the
three common mistakes. Check out his tips
here.
While these guys might not
necessarily need Mark’s tips, it might be a great refresher for Team McGladrey
member Zach
Johnson and past McGladrey Classic champions Chris
Kirk [2013] and Robert
Streb [2014] as they gear up to play at the BMW Championship in Illinois.
From tee No. 10, Zach starts at 11:42 a.m. CT; teeing off at 12:26 p.m. CT; and
following not too far after is Robert at 12:48 p.m. CT from tee No. 1. Best of
luck to everyone this weekend! We’ll be cheering you on from afar.
Before wrapping this week's post, we'd like to congratulate Matt Kuchar,
Zach and Chris Kirk on making The Presidents Cup team for 2015! The folks at
McGladrey will be pulling for our Golden Isles golfers as they compete for the
U.S. Oct. 8-11 in South Korea.
Check back next week for the latest updates on Team McGladrey and The McGladrey Classic!
