GOLF CHANNEL AMATEUR TOUR COMES TO PORT LUDLOW JUNE 22

PORT LUDLOW, Wash. (June 17, 2008) – The Golf Channel Amateur Tour of
Seattle will be making the Port Ludlow Golf Club an integral stop on their tour
this year, drawing amateur golfers from across the nation to the scenic
seaside town nestled on the shores of the Olympic Peninsula.
Port Ludlow's tournament will serve as the mid-season championship, the
second most important event on the tour, which is comprised of 12
tournaments throughout Washington from April to September. The tour's
national championship takes place in October in Orlando.
"Port Ludlow embodies all the beauty of the Northwest and is everything a
golf resort should hope to be," Frank Fauls, Seattle tour director, said. "It's
simply spectacular with the Puget Sound, mountains, spa and scenic course."
The tournament kicks off Saturday evening with a welcome reception and
book signing with David Wood, author of Around the World in 80 Rounds.
Wood is a renowned speaker, writer and adventurer who has played some of
the world's most extreme courses. Each entrant will receive a signed copy of
the book. Tour members will also receive a 20 percent discount off The
Resort At Port Ludlow golf as well as lodging, throughout the year.
Tucked away on the Olympic Peninsula of the northern Puget Sound, The
Resort At Port Ludlow is located 90 miles from the Seattle Tacoma
International airport. By car, visitors travel 15 minutes from the Sea-Tac
International airport to a ferry, unwind during a 30 minute ferry ride while
leaving the city behind, and then continue by car for another 45 minutes
traveling over the Hood Canal Bridge. Arriving by plane is also becoming a
popular option as Port Ludlow is reachable by taking a short 15-minute
complimentary shuttle from the Sea-Tac International airport to Kenmore Air's
hub at Lake Union and then hopping on a 15 minute seaplane flight directly
into Port Ludlow Marina. Port Ludlow's secluded location is what makes it so
special; it's easily reached yet removed from the fast pace and demands of
urban life.
