“There was a golf simulator, you know, you can hit some clubs into, you know, to a screen. It’ll tell you how far it went, what direction it went, and that kind of stuff. They even had two putting simulators, one that was just a flat like green and another one that had a little bit tilt to it. The guy that was there, he’s actually a pro from Pebble Beach Golf Course out in California, one of the most famous golf courses in the world, but he said that people actually have an easier time with the one that’s tilted and looks harder than the actual one. It looks easier. And, they were also doing something where they were taking people’s pictures and they were putting them together, like to make the LIV golf logo, but with little pictures of everybody. They had all kinds of games and stuff around there, too. And, the little village type thing they had, you know, and they were giving away, you know, sunglasses if you filled out a survey of what team you should root for. It really was extremely, family fan friendly. It was wonderful tournament,” said Fitzgerald.
Jeff Preast volunteered last year for the LIV golf tournament at the Greenbrier and shares his experience.
“Being a volunteer, it was fantastic. I worked with the Marshall Committee, which was great. We had a lot of great leadership, a lot of great people in that committee, working all around the course. But, it was a great experience. You know, something like this is great for our state, great to have at the Greenbrier. And, many people don’t know that, tournament teams are pretty small. So, without volunteerism and volunteer people working in many committees, these things don’t happen. So, encourage people to come out. It’s a lot of fun. You get to be around the best players in the world. Like I said, you get to meet a lot of cool people. It’s free to do. There’s a lot of great perks that come along with it. So we hope to see everyone in August.”
