"Old Folks" pro-am boasts toughest oldster of all -and NEW TIME!

The Georgia-Pacific Pro-Am, originally scheduled at Burnt Pine for a 1:00 pm shotgun start has been reslated to a starting time of 9:00 am.

That may well be the best place and time to watch some action prior to the start of the Boeing at Sandestin Championship proper at Raven. And the reason why is the field of 12 Champions Tour pros who'll be teeing it up at Burnt Pine.

How about for starters, HALE IRWIN, the winningest Champions Tour pro of them all! Then stir in all-time, Hall of Fame stars GARY PLAYER and LEE TREVINO. And BOB CHARLES,the best portsider in the history of golf. Add JIM COLBERT, MIKE HILL, VICENTE FERNANDEZ, DALE DOUGLASS, DAVE EICHELBERGER, DAVE STOCKTON, JIM DENT, BOB MURPHY and TOM WARGO.

That's plenty of reason to make your Thursday morning visit to the Boeing at Sandestin Championship a trip to Burnt Pine. They'll be teeing off in a 9:00 am shotgun start.

You can bet I'll be there! After all, some of them are ALMOST as old as I am!
