This is such a big event for Greenville and the upstate that I thought it deserved its own thread. Check out today's story: http://greenvilleonl...S0302/603210339

Remember folks, less than 2 weeks until the BMW Charity Pro-Am at the Cliffs. This is my sixth year as being a volunteer and I must say it is a great event to go to.

Indeed, and I hope to be there this year as well.    We can be very proud of the opportunity this tournament brings the city.

Is it too late to volunteer?

I'm not sure. We do pick our uniforms up though next weekend, so who knows.

I'll be there!

Too bad Messier pulled out.  That would be a hockey-lover's dream - Gretzky, Hull, and Messier.  Oh well...

Tomorrow night is the celebrity red carpet walk right?  Downtown should be buzzing even more than normal.

I'll be a the tournament too, due to me being a volunteer and all.

With the hot water that Mr. Costner seems to be in today, there may be more media than usual, also.

How are you guys not talking about this more. This is the biggest tournament in all of the Nationwide Tour. Look how much the media has covered it.

The VIP passes are great, free food and drink all day, awsome.

[g-man430]

My dad got a VIP pass from BMW. It's sweet.

I hope everyone plans to be at The Cliffs Valley tomorrow at 6pm for the first ever public concert by Kevin Costner's "band without a name."  This would be another way to show how much we appreciate having big name celebs - actually EVERYONE is welcome - in Greenville.

Aha!  So this was the post-tournament reward for the volunteers this year?  Very nice!

Hey!  I rode the trolley over with some of those people yesterday! :-)  It certainly is a nice reward for volunteering.  Great job to all of you, especially you, g-man!
