Golf Channel Am Tour of Pittsburgh is on site of the Kingsmill Classic!

Staff and members of the Golf Channel Am Tour of Pittsburgh are currently on site preparing for the Kingsmill Classic Regional Tournament from their perch on the 9th fairway of the River Course.  The 2-day tournament is being contested Saturday and Sunday on the Plantation and River Courses at the resort.  Many golfers who followed the PGA and LPGA Tours will recognize the River Course from the past as the host course for events like the LPGA Michelob Ultra Championship and events on the PGA and Champions tour. 

The River course's closing holes 16-18 are set beautifully along the James River and can play tough when there is a cross wind off or into the bay.  How has anyone handled tough windy conditions off a large body of water near a course before?  Any tips for playing in such windy conditions?

We wish a good luck to all Pittsburgh tour competitors this weekend and will update their statuses during the tournament.

Pittsburgh Tour members that are here to play in the Kingsmill Classic are:
Peter Gitnik
James Huber
Jerry O'Brien
Bob Swann

We look forward to seeing everyone else next Saturday, April 23rd at Old Stonewall for our opening event and party!
