Timacuan Golf Club has been selected to host a PGA Pro-Pro Series tournament during the week of the annual PGA Merchandise Show.
The Pro-Pro Series will visit this Ron Garl/Bobby Weed-designed course on Tuesday, January 26. The Pro-Pro Series is comprised of several events during PGA Show Week, and PGA golf professionals choose a tournament that fits their schedule or course preference. Each event consists of two-man teams. PGA Magazine and PGA Golf Exhibitions are the Series' sponsors.
The PGA show, which attracts over 40,000 club professionals, equipment buyers, vendors, and other industry members at the Orange County Convention Center, is scheduled for Jan. 28-30.
"The exposure through the PGA Magazine network and the golf professionals who compete is an important ingredient in our marketing plan for 2010," said Timacuan General Manager Tony Johnson. "We feel the PGA members from the north can serve as valuable ambassadors for our golf course to their club members who might be looking for a golf vacation destination. We are thrilled to be a part of the series for that reason, and we believe the PGA pros will be impressed with the golf experience here at Timacuan."
Timacuan has been one of Central Florida's most popular courses since opening in 1988. It has garnered many statewide awards, being ranked as high as No. 14 in Florida by The Florida Golf Reporter Magazine. And its challenging par-4 second hole has been named the toughest hole in the region by Orlando Magazine.
