The GNCC Golf Tournament Returns
to Snowshoe
Snowshoe, WV (6/24/2009)
- GNCC Golfing comes before GNCC Racing
again this year, with the eighth-annual GNCC Golf
Tournament! Like last year, the spectacular Ravens
Club course at Snowshoe Resort in West Virginia
will play host once again. The game takes place
Friday, June 26th, the day before the MotorcycleUSA.com
Snowshoe GNCC kicks off with ATV racing on Saturday
and bike racing on Sunday. Signup at the Ravens
Club begins at 7:30 a.m. with a shotgun start
at 9 a.m. The 18-hole Ravens Club course is one
of the most spectacular in the entire nation.

Better yet, there's no better chance to rub elbows
with the GNCC stars - and your friends - than
with a day off the track and on the links with
the GNCC family. The game will be competitive,
but the players surely aren't as good on the golf
course as they are on the race course! So don't
worry about the spikes or making sure you've got
the right set of clubs. Just join the club by
coming out and playing!
The GNCC Golf tournament is open to anyone and
everyone, and the game is played with teams of
four in a best-ball, scramble format. Golf costs
$75 for each team member for a total entry of
$300 per team. All signup will be conducted at
the Ravens Club at Snowshoe starting at 7:30 am
on Friday. The shotgun start begins at 9:00 a.m..
Teams can be selected or will be assigned randomly.
And the winning team will have its name engraved
on the GNCC Golf Trophy, which is on display in
the lobby of the Racer Productions offices.
As always, the GNCC golf tournament is used as
a fund raiser for an industry charity. This year's
benefactor is the Rider Down Foundation (www.riderdown.org)
which is a not-for-profit group that helps provide
financial assistance, support and information
for injured riders. Rider Down Foundation services
all riders, amateur and pro, motorcycle or ATV.
The off-road racing industry is encouraged to
sponsor a hole on the course for $250, and all
proceeds go to the Rider Down Foundation. The
sponsorship is tax deductible, and sponsorship
will garner plenty of attention. The event is
expected to garner media coverage in industry
publications, as well as on the Can-Am GNCC TV
Series on Versus Network. Sponsors can set up
banners or product at the hole they choose to
back.
