PITTSBURGH, PA — Matt Davis of the Captains Club took a moment to remind the present members of the existing opportunity to register potential rookies. More importantly, to get important scorecards posted online to establish a handicap. The registration process can be found on the Spackler homepage.

"What appears to be an 9 month notice is only 100-day notification for rookie tournament registration," said Davis. "We require anyone participating in a Carl Spackler Open Championship to have a minimum of 4-posted scorecards online. We have a great tournament and would like to see great things happen. Great things happen with accurate handicaps."

The projected attendance for the next event is expected to be 58-70 before topping off with rookies. The bulk of rookie attendance is statistically based on distance to venue. The shorter the better, which continues to baffle most of the Captains Club.

"I have heard quite a bit of talk in Columbus and Pittsburgh this summer," said Davis. "There is a lot of rookie rumors, but usually only half officially sign. Even half is great news."

Rookies will simply register online with Poststats.com and then request membership to the Carl Spackler Open.

The Carl Spackler Open Championship is scheduled for June 7-9, 2007. There are many possible locations for the tournament including a probable Michigan or Kentucky. The official location is to be announced sometime in very early October.
