Annual President-Elect's Golf TournamentFriday, March 26 -- 7:30 AM
9939 Universal Boulevard • Orlando, FL 32819 • 866-996-9933 Experience this remarkable golf course, which takes its name from the pristine creek, which traverses the property. Early Central Florida settlers, circa 1800, were drawn to the area by the abundance of game, fishing, ancient cypress trees, and of course, the beautiful creek. The tournament will be organized as a shotgun, four-person scramble. Golfers who do not submit a foursome will be assigned to one based on handicap or average score. Placements will be determined by the club pro’s system. Golfers will be provided with a list of team and tournament rules at the on-site registration desk. Spouses are encouraged to participate — there will be pairings for couples at the tournament. The tournament offers prizes for 1st and 2nd place. Contests will include longest drive and closest to the pin. Be sure to stick around for many other contests and raffle prizes immediately following the tournament. A breakfast buffet, lunch, snacks on and off the course and beverages will be provided. The event will conclude with an awards ceremony.

Fifty years from now, when newsreel footage is being shown of the momentous changes in America that swept Barack Obama into office, one journalist will be the voice and face of our political era—and that journalist is NBC’s Chief White House Correspondent Chuck Todd.

His up-to-the-minute poll analysis and insightful commentary has made him one of the most sought-after voices in American political coverage, and his on-air political analysis can be seen almost daily on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams and the Today Show. He also edits First Read, the network’s must-read guide to political news and trends in and around our nation’s capital, and he is a contributing editor to Meet the Press. 
Ashley Locheed is THE sultry singer with the talent, beauty, and elegance to transport audiences back to the romantic Golden Age of Jazz.
