Agents Get Pick of Golf Delights - Acuity

G R E A T A G E N T S
GREAT CHOICES
For over a decade, the ACUITY
Invitational has challenged agents to play some of the
best courses in the nation. This year, the Invitational
poses another challenge to agents: whether to hit the links
themselves, or get a front-row seat as spectators at the 2012
U.S. Women’s Open.
Wanna Golf?
For those looking to play, the ACUITY Invitational
visits world-class courses that agents have come to expect.
Our 2012 schedule travels to states throughout our operating
territory before finishing in late August at Whistling Straits
in Kohler.
“The ACUITY Invitational has always offered the
opportunity to play top-caliber, championship courses,” says
Ben Salzmann, ACUITY President and CEO.
Additionally, the 2012 Invitational gives agents the
chance to win more cash and door prizes than ever before!
Wanna Watch?
Agents who wish to witness the play of the best
women golfers in the world can instead choose to attend
the 2012 U.S. Women’s Open at Blackwolf Run in Kohler,
held July 5-8.
“Nobody has a better hospitality package at the
Open than ACUITY,” says Wally Waldhart, Vice President
- Sales and Communications. “Our agents will have a
front-row seat at this year’s Championship.”
This is the second time Blackwolf Run has hosted the
U.S. Women’s Open. The 1998 Open, won by Se Ri Pak in
a 19-hole playoff, was the first USGA championship for the
resort. Since then, Blackwolf Run has also been the host site
for three Andersen Consulting World Championships.
The 2012 Women’s Open will be conducted on
the original Championship Course. In preparation,
the Championship Course underwent some extensive
renovations in 2009, with the remaining 18 holes receiving
treatment in 2010. All of the existing bunker sand was
replaced and tees, fairways, green complexes, and green
surrounds were reseeded with new bentgrass.
The championship layout will incorporate holes 10-18
of the Meadow Valleys Course and holes 1-4 and 14-18 of
the River Course, the same layout that was used at the 1998
Women’s Open. Both courses were designed by Pete Dye,
with the original course opening in June 1988.
