PINEAPPLE CUP 2010: WAR GAMES!!

THE COMMITTEE in conjunction with WCW will present the first ever Pineapple Cup 2010: WAR GAMES on Aug 27th and 28th in beautiful North Myrtle Beach, SC. WAR GAMES is a 9-man, 3-team no holds barred event featuring various contests over 54 holes. The 9 athletes expected to compete in WAR GAMES are: Andrew Tucker, Lindsay Carrington, Mark Wilson, Jeff Wilson, Tug Maude, Morgan Dowtin, Boone Smith, Alex Yates, and Preston Yates. Teams will be announced at the opening ceremonies on Thursday night, Aug 26th. The athletes are expected to compete in formats of 2 best ball of 3, individual match play, and WOLF. Exact scoring will be outlined prior to the event. As previously announced, this year’s venues will be the Surf and Dunes Clubs.

Like all great enterprises, the PC has been forced to make adjustments in the post-economic meltdown world in which we now live. While dropping from 16 participants last year to 9 this year is difficult, THE COMMITTEE is excited about the product that it has put together. THE COMMITTEE also strongly suggests that players stick around on Sunday for a full day of all that Myrtle has to offer. A number of participants will be spending Sunday night and driving back early on Monday.

Defending champion Andrew Tucker seems excited as well, “I really didn't think it was possible to make the Pineapple Cup any more exciting for me. I was wrong. I feel like this is really taking the PC back to its roots, not only in the cut throat matches but in the all day beach celebration to follow on Sunday. I am fired up. I can think of no better way to defend my crown than WAR GAMES. When I think back to my childhood I see drop kicks, top rope flying elbows, and a whole lot of figure four leg locks. I plan on taking the intensity that these warriors taught me at that young age and translating it into my game in Myrtle. I will leave you with one thought: To be the man, you've got to beat the man....and right now, I'm the man. Come and get it. WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
