Dear Readers,
I personally want to invite you to all of the exciting events and
happenings taking place this Spring & Summer here in South
Georgia. I encourage all of you to take a look at what interests
you most and make plans to visit. So get your calendars out
and plan to spend some time with us in Sunny South Georgia!
Be it a concert with Reba McEntire or the Valdosta Symphony Orchestra,
the Broadway musical Chicago or Singin’ in the Rain, dining, danicing,
and shopping in our downtown areas, festivals, or art showings
there is definitely something for everyone to enjoy this spring & summer!

I’ll have to say one of the events I’m most excited about is
the South Georgia Classic PGA TOUR’S Nationwide Tour at Kinderlou
Forest Golf Club in Valdosta. One hundred and fifty six of the
top professional golfers on the PGA TOUR’s Nationwide Tour will
be teeing it up at Kinderlou Forest Golf Club, April 28-May 4.The
2008 tournament will feature a strong field, including defending
champion John Kimbell, who will be playing for a purse of $625,000
with the winner receiving $112,500. In addition to Kimbell several
former University of Georgia stars will compete including Tommy
Tolles, Franklin Langham, and Chris Kirk. Former U.S. Amateur Champions,
Ricky Barnes and Bubba Dickerson will also compete.
Also, in the field are the Top-10 on the Nationwide Tour money
list including the current money leader Jarrod Lyle.
Tickets for the tournament cost $5.00 and can be purchased through
the tournament office at (229) 242-8455. Each ticket is good for
a one day admission May 1 – May 4. Children 15 and under are free
with a paying adult.
The tournament, only in its second year, will be televised internationally
on the Golf Channel-so if you can’t make it to Valdosta that week
please watch for us on the Golf Channel!
