of the
Lone Star Golf Course Superintendents Association
For the past 25 years, The Lone Star
Texas Trophy continues
to be the premier event of the year for the Lone Star GCSA.
We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to participate as
a
sponsor of the 25th anniversary Lone Star Texas Trophy at Horseshoe Bay
Resort
on September 19-21, 2010.
LSGCSA has a great event planned again this year. As in the past,
sponsorships allow us to keep the entry fees down to encourage more
participation and still provide that great event everyone has come to
expect.
The Trophy is fast approaching and a sponsorship with the LSGCSA
continues to
be a great value, especially if someone in your organization plans to
participate anyway. With your support, we can make this event the
best
yet. We appreciate your continued support and hope to see you in
September.

Indeed, they

variety
of golf than Horseshoe Bay. I rank this among the best in the world,"
said Robert Trent Jones, Sr. As reported in USA Today’s "Golf Line,"
members
of the American Society of Golf Course Architects, the National Golf
Foundation
and the Golf Course Superintendents of America selected the entire
Horseshoe
