- Swingfest Wrap-up 2011
Shady Valley Swingfest 2011
This year Moritz of North Arlington was once again honored to sponsor Swingfest at Shady Valley Country Club. For four days Shady Valley was home to this wonderful event that provided some strong competition, fantastic food and great entertainment; let’s not forget to mention the tournaments alliance with Mission Arlington. Mission Arlington/Mission Metroplex is an invaluable local charity that works within the community to help those in need, whatever the need may be.
While Moritz sponsored the four day event, BMW of North America stopped in on Saturday to hold the BMW Golf Cup International, an incentive by BMW to enhance local member tournaments in over 35 countries. The BMW Golf Cup International is a series of amateur tournaments that BMW has been involved with since the early 1990’s. The top two finishers from Saturday’s round Terry Zang and Chris Cowart qualified to go play in the BMW Golf Cup US Final at beautiful Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina. From there US Finalists compete for the chance to represent Team USA at the BMW Golf Cup International World Final that will be held in Singapore in March of 2012.
In addition to awarding two players from Saturday the opportunity to play at Pinehurst Resort, there were two other prizes up for grabs. While no one was able to claim the coveted 7 Series BMW for a hole in one, we were able to award a closest to the pin prize to Mr. Stanfield Hughes of Arlington. With his closest to the pin shot Mr. Hughes has won a day at the BMW Experience in Spartanburg, NC. He will get to enjoy a day of M driving at its finest with through a variety of exercises on a slalom course, autocross and wet skid pad. Congratulations to Mr. Hughes for his prize valued at $1295.00! Hole 17 was our home for the day and we were able to meet and visit with some real characters. We want to thank you all for the opportunity to come out to your beautiful club and spend some time with you all! We truly enjoy the chance to come out into the community and meet new friends.
I feel I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that Neal Kruger, a guest of Mr. Bobby Barton, did make a hole in one on the 13th hole on Sunday. While there was not a prize for a hole in one on Sunday, this is a feat that must be mentioned and praised. I was speaking with a gentleman that played with Mr. Kruger and he said it was, “an absolutely beautiful golf shot that just disappeared.” I humbly tip my hat to Mr. Kruger! His shot was definitely the buzz at the closing luncheon on Sunday.
I spoke with Mr. John Hopkins, the chairman of the Swingfest committee at the close of the weekend to get his take on how he felt the weekend went. He issued the following statement: “As Chairman of the Swingfest committee our goal is to be sure that everyone has a great time on the course and at all the social functions, and have received full value of the dollars they have spent. By all of the comments after the Sunday Dinner, it looks like we met all of our goals.” I couldn’t agree more Mr. Hopkins!
