We want to give all of our World Golf Tour players a quick sneak-peak at our upcoming course: The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island in South Carolina. We have been busy photographing and recording the course over the past several weeks…it is an amazing course! Look for this beautiful and challenging course to go live on the World Golf Tour in 2008.
Also, we will be conducting the drawing for the October prize winners this week. We will email each of the winners later this week. Keep a lookout for an email from us!

Hello again from the World Golf Tour!!
We will be launching an updated version of the PGA.com Charity Challenge on Tuesday, August 14th. This new tournament includes some new skill shots, faster greens and stronger winds. Let’s see if the scores for this version can match the scores from the last tournament!
The tournament will last until August 30th, at which point we will do a random drawing to give away a brand-new TaylorMade Burner Driver! To qualify for the drawing, all you have to do is complete one round between August 14th and August 30th. We will also be awarding World Golf Tour Adidas golf shirts and a sleeve of TaylorMade golf balls for 10 new players who register during this time period…so make sure you tell your friends about the game.
All of your current scores, replays, teams and awards will be wiped out to prepare for this new tournament so everyone will start with a clean slate. If you want to keep a record of one of your heroic shots from the first tournament you should screen capture your replays using a shareware screen capture product before Tuesday the 14th.
Thanks for your support and see you on the course!!

Kiawah Island Golf Resort is rated the #1 U.S. Golf Resort by Travel + Leisure Golf magazine and after spending some time there, I can see why. The Sanctuary at Kiawah itself is embellished with amazing ocean views, white-glove concierge service, impeccable luxurious rooms, a tranquil Spa, timely shuttle service to and from any of their 5 courses, and to top it all off…the Ocean Room, a Mobil 4 Star & AAA 4 Diamond restaurant. All of these elements combine to make for one amazing experience.
While at Kiawah Island, we spent the majority of our time at the Pete Dye-designed Ocean Course, the main attraction. Here we found what many describe as the “tale of two cities” where the front nine are composed amid marsh-lined forest paths and the back 9 ribbon which spans about 3 miles alongside the Atlantic Ocean. The Driving Range is located directly between the two, making for an unmatched layout and a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
The local staff we worked with, during our preliminary shoot of the Ocean Course, was very accommodating and personable. Throughout our stay, we were given complete access to their caddy’s station for our equipment, storage, and cart needs while conducting our light studies from dawn to dusk. An added bonus to the scouting trip was the unexpected exclusive tour and back-story of their newly erected 24,000-square-foot clubhouse – scheduled to open this month of August.
Overall, it was an amazing experience and we can’t wait to go back to photograph the full course later this year.

As we prepare to launch a second version of our Skill Challenge tournament, I wanted to take some time out to recognize the players who achieved the best scores from our first tournament. We tried to design the Skill Challenge so scoring under 100 would be a noteworthy achievement, but we quickly learned that posting a score under 100 would happen early and often. In fact, we had 111 players score under the 100 point milestone!! Congratulations to all of the players who earned their way into our first World Golf Tour Hall of Fame!!
