ROUNDS 4 RESEARCH




Secure a rare chance to tee it up at some of the best known and most exclusive golf clubs in the game in an innovative online auction that runs from April 7 to April 21.
More than 650 courses from the Carolinas, Georgia, Virginia and Texas will be available for bid as the golf industry rallies to raise money for turfgrass research and legislative fights (Carolinas).



Some of the game's greatest venues are ready to welcome your foursome if you post the winning bid. Go to www.Rounds4Research.com and view an updated list of courses on offer, and register to receive an email reminder in the hours before the auction launch.



That list will continue to grow right up until auction time, but already high profile partners include:

East Lake Golf Club - home of the PGA TOUR Championship

Pinehurst No. 2 - which hosts its third U.S. Open Championship in 2014

Harbour Town Golf Links - home of the PGA Tour's Verizon Heritage Classic

The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort - host of the 1991 Ryder Cup and the PGA Championship in 2012

Sedgefield Country Club - Home of the PGA Tour's Wyndham Championship



Exclusive private playgrounds ranked by Golf Digest among the best courses in the country include Sage Valley, Long Cove, Yeamans Hall, Newport Dunes, and The Homestead's Cascades Course.



In each region proceeds will benefit research critical to the continued health of our great game and the billions of dollars in economic impact it generates in the participating states. In the Carolinas portions of funds raised will also go towards protecting our legislative issues at our state capitals in Raleigh and Columbia.
