Players Prepare for 3rd Annual Golden Tee World Championship
Incredible Technologies has announced that National Online Qualifying for Team USA has now begun. During the next five months, players across the globe will be able to compete for spots on their national teams and the chance to become the next Golden Tee world champion. Scheduled for November 14-16, the championship will again be held at Friday's Front Row Sportsbar and Grill in Orlando, Florida. "We schedule this exciting competition in conjunction with the IAPPA trade show," said Bob Fay, Incredible Technologies' Vice President of International Sales. "It allows for our international partners to schedule two major events with one trip." Countries again sending players for the International Team are Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and The United Kingdom. "All the international players are very excited at the chance to compete against the best American players. It should be a great championship!"
Qualifying for Team USA is a two-tiered process. "Players started qualifying online from 1 July through GTGA League play, for a spot in the live finals" said Gary Colabuono, IT's Director of Marketing. "The team is open to all Golden Tee players regardless of their tournament division, and we expect an increase in League play across the country," he said. Plans to promote the tournament include special advertising screens on the game, emails to over 50,000 registered players, and a special website devoted exclusively to the event. "If you play Golden Tee – you will know about the World Championship," said Colabuono. Last year's World Championship action was covered by USA Today, The Golf Channel, the USA Network, and ESPN. Team USA defeated the International Team 28-20 in the team competition to win the Golden Tee World Championship Cup, and Chris Eversole, from Atlanta, GA, went undefeated and won the World Championship title with a win over Tim Glenn of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
