Campus Rec is hosting a local qualifying golf tournament for the 2008 Collegiate Golf Championship at River Ridge Golf Course this Saturday. The event is open to all students as well as staff, faculty and alumni from N.C. State and other local Universities.  The tournament features two divisions, a student division and an open division and winners from both earn qualifying bids to play in the CGA Championship held in Las Vegas. Also, during the tournament, participants will have the option to compete in the Red Bull Final Five Competition for a chance at another qualifying bid to the Collegiate Golf Championship.   The winner of the tournament from the student division will receive a prize package that includes two nights of hotel stay, one tournament round, discount on Saturday’s practice round, a pre-tournament pairings party, logoed Upswing Golf lob wedge as well as on-the-course contests and prizes.  David Harris, a senior is business, said he expects the competition to be tough during the tournament.  “My brother and I are playing in the open division and we hope to do pretty well,” Harris said. “But because the event is open to all the schools around the area we are expecting some tough competition.”The format of the tournament is a two-person scramble with a shotgun start.  Alumnus Brendon Harris, David’s brother, says he likes the format.  “I like the format because if I don’t make the perfect shot I know that my partner has a chance at it too,” Harris said. “Hopefully we can play well enough between the two of us to qualify.”Registration for the event was scheduled to end this past Friday but has been extended until Wednesday.  Rick Palmieri, coordinator for intramural sports, said the excitement surrounding the tournament was a factor in extending the registration period. “We’ve had a good number of people register so far but we decided to extend the time so we can let as many people sign up as possible,” Palmieri said. If students are interested in signing up, they can go to Campus Rec’s Web site to find out more details or register for the event.
