Greensboro, NC Celebrates Carolinas PGA Week

Carolinas PGA Week will take place May 12-18

On the heels of Governor Pat McCrory’s proclamation of May 8 as “Golf Day in North Carolina” — to acknowledge the state’s $4.2 billion golf economy — Greensboro has proclaimed “Carolinas PGA Week” from May 12-18.

On May 13, the Carolinas PGA Section will host an open house — including golf, of course — to celebrate the organization’s inaugural year in Greensboro. The CPGA moved its headquarters to Greensboro's famed Bryan Park from Myrtle Beach, S.C., and dedicated its new office building in April 2012.

89th Carolinas Open presented by BB&T Raises $2,500 for the First Tee of the Triad

The Carolinas PGA Section is excited to announce that the 89th Carolinas Open, presented by BB&T, raised $2,500 to benefit the First Tee of the Triad. The Carolinas Open was held May 7-9, 2013 at Bryan Park Golf and Conference Center.

Since moving its office headquarters to Greensboro from Myrtle Beach, SC the CPGA has formed a continuing partnership with the First Tee of the Triad.  Last month, CPGA staff members spent a Saturday morning volunteering at a First Tee clinic hosted at Gillespie Golf Course.

“It was a great day at Gillespie as we joined the First Tee staff, along with their volunteer coaches and local collegiate players, to have some fun.  Additionally, there were parents & guardians who found time to sneak in a little instruction on the putting green.  The City of Greensboro can be proud of their First Tee facility at Gillespie.”

Franz Cruises to Victory at the 89th Carolinas Open presented by BB&T

Ray Franz, a PGA Apprentice Assistant Professional at Daniel Island Club in Charleston, SC ran away with the 89th Carolinas Open presented by BB&T.  After a few long days of weather delays and rain, the competitors enjoyed a picture perfect day of golf weather at Bryan Park Golf and Conference Center.

Starting out the tournament with a solid 72 (+1), Franz turned on the heat for his second round to take the lead at 135 (-7) after firing a tournament low round of 63 (-8). He did not look back during the final round and cruised to finish at 72-63-66=201 (-12), a comfortable 5 strokes ahead of the rest of the field.
