Fireworks ignite at @The_Greenbrier during the 2019 @VGAGolf Championships. Ask anyone in the know and a favorite is anyone's best guess. The @VGAGolf has grown exponentially over the last year adding increased competition to the field and new faces to the scene. In the mens division Blalock (-2) & Kautzmann (-1) are both under par with plenty lurking in striking distance. In the women's division Gill (+5) and Baskette (+7) have pulled away from the pack of ladies and should duel it out for a fantastic finish tomorrow.
The @VGAGolf has grown to around 7,000 members which means drastic changes and added exposure to this years event. They've partnered with over 25 sponsorship partners around title sponsor @ATT which has brought in more spectators, more technology, and more eyes watching these players. As if the competition wasn't enough, how about a crowd? Tomorrow players will battle through tough weather on The Old White with spectators, photographers, videographers, and drones watching from the sky. Live feeds on social media with fans from all over the country tuning in. All this is sure to produce a champion.
How seriously do these players take it? All these players have qualified for this event at local and regional events from all over the country. They are all great players and as exciting as it is to come to a special place like @The_Greenbrier, the players are still focused on winning. Two time Champion Brandon Johnson (2016/2018) of the Air Force caught a last minute flight from China to make this event. The @VGAGolf has created a community of dedicated soldiers who love to compete and make these great events a priority.
