2010 Chairman: Dick Massie

“For me, and I think a lot of other golfers who've been fortunate enough to participate in them, team contests are the most enjoyable events in golf. If the game has one drawback, it is its individuality, its self-concernedness - its selfishness, to be blunt about the matter. Playing for a team really brings a group of players together.”
- Jack Nicklaus in 1973 at Muirfield

Golf Digest Ambush

THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF THE GOLF DIGEST AMBUSH - NEW !!!

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


NEIL THOMSON SELECTED AS ONE OF SIX WINNERS IN GOLF DIGEST'S BUDDIES-TRIP PLANNER CONTEST

Neil appears in the December 2009 G Golf Digest:

BETTER BUDDIES TRIPS: A ROUNDTABLE Q&A

TIPS FOR BETTER BUDDIES TRIPS

Matt Ginella and Pete Finch from Golf Digest conducted a nationwide contest where they evaluated the 16 Ambush trip-planners along with several hundreds of other written submissions from trip planners from the U.S. and Canada - and they chose 6 winners to come to Pinehurst  for a great golf weekend - as sort of a thank-you to all the trip planners in July.
