Sporting Club Plays In Pebble Beach National Pro-Am

GBSC — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 01:46:47 +0000

The Greenbrier Sporting Club recently participated in the GolfWeek Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Private Clubs from all over the country were invited to compete in this prestigious event. Representing The Greenbrier Sporting Club were members: Ed Robinson, Paul Moran, Frank Ebert along with Golf Professional, Robbie Gilmore. Superb weather was experienced on the Monterey Peninsula for 5 consecutive days of golf. The event was conducted over the famed, Pebble Beach Golf Club, Spyglass Hill, and the Spanish Bay Club. The team was in the heat of battle throughout the tournament and ended up finishing in third place among twenty teams. A distinct highlight of the competition was Ed Robinson’s birdie two on # 7 at Pebble Beach BOTH times he played the hole. Perhaps they will erect a monument there in his honor. The ladies accompanying the players enjoyed a great time as well. Their favorite adventures included a shopping spree of the delightful boutiques in Carmel and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. There has already been discussion of how to best our third place finish next year!

Fairway Living at The Greenbrier Gets More Good News

GBSC — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 18:04:09 +0000

A few months ago, Greenbrier owner Jim Justice announced that The Old White golf course would become the newest member of the Tournament Players’ Club, a collective network of over 30 premier golf courses established to provide the ultimate host venues for TOUR events – with services and amenities that meet the highest standards of professional golf. With The Greenbrier Classic just around the corner, everyone in the country will be talking about the legendary Charles Blair Macdonald designed course and life along the fairway couldn’t be better for Sporting Club members.

There’s always been a desire to live along the fairways and greens of a beautifully manicured golf course,” says John Klemish, Broker in Charge and Adviser to The Chairman. There is something magical about watching the great game of golf being played, even if you’re not a player. With four championship golf courses at The Greenbrier, the real estate choices are many and varied.”

GSC Gets Ready for a Huge Memorial Day Weekend

The day once known as Decoration Day not only marks a day of remembrance for our country’s fallen soldiers, but also the unofficial beginning of the summer season. It’s the weekend when pools across the region finally open their gates and picnic baskets are brought out of storage. This year at The Greenbrier Sporting Club, Memorial Day activities will include a bevy of outdoor pursuits, group workouts, dedicated children activities, and sports. However, it will also include the club’s annual Community Association Meeting on Saturday the 28th, and later that day, there will be a tour of Pam West’s Farm, where many of the “Farm to Table” ingredients at GSC’s restaurants are grown.

Join us May 26-30, 2011!

Phil Mickelson and The Black Eyed Peas Announced for The Greenbrier Classic

GBSC — Mon, 09 May 2011 19:02:18 +0000

One of the top players on the PGA TOUR and one of the hottest musical groups will make the 2011 Greenbrier Classic even bigger and better than the inaugural event. Phil Mickelson, three-time Masters champion and winner of 39 PGA TOUR events, has committed to play in the July 25-31 event on the resort’s Old White TPC course. Adding to the excitement, The Black Eyed Peas, six-time Grammy Award winning artists and global superstars, will perform on Friday, July 29.

“Phil is one of the best players in the world and having him compete will be just fantastic. And The Black Eyed Peas just played for this year’s Super Bowl. How much better can it get?” said Jim Justice, at a press conference today where he was joined by Sergio Garcia to make the announcements.

A future Hall of Famer, Mickelson is the highest ranked American in the world with career earnings over $61 million. He is currently ranked 4th in both the World Golf Rankings and in FedExCup points. Over the past five years, Mickelson has distinguished himself as the best player at the Masters. With an average round of 70.40, Mickelson has finished second or third in four of the last five Masters. He is consistently one of the top players to watch and is one of the most popular players on the TOUR.

“My family and I are really excited about coming to The Greenbrier this summer. My kids are already making lists of all the things they want to do while we’re there, even though I’ll be working,” said Mickelson. “I heard a lot of great comments about last year’s event, so I’m really looking forward to playing and relaxing with my family. Of course, the only bunker I want to see is the one they built for Congress during the Cold War.”

The Classic has also received an early commitment from Camilo Villegas, a three-time winner on the PGA TOUR and a fan favorite around the world. The 29-year-old Colombian’s charisma and aggressive style of play made him an instant sensation when he joined the PGA TOUR in 2006, along with his signature “Spiderman crouch” on the greens when reading putts.

The 2011 Classic Concert series will now feature three incredible performances at the State Fairgrounds amphitheater. Tim McGraw and Luke Bryan perform on Thursday, The Black Eyed Peas take the stage Friday and Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert close the series on Saturday. Tickets to all three concerts, the three practice rounds and four tournament rounds are available for $159. A weekly grounds badge and ticket to the Thursday or Saturday concert is now available for $89 while a weekly grounds badge and ticket to the Friday concert with The Black Eyed Peas is $109. Benefactor, alumni and clubhouse badges, which include upgraded access to the golf tournament as well as tickets to all three concerts are also available. All badge levels are available for purchase at www.greenbrierclassic.com, Ticketmaster and participating United Bank and Kroger locations.
