Bid for Tee-Times at Many of the Best Courses in the Carolinas and Beyond

Hundreds of tee-times at many of the best courses in the Carolinas and beyond are going under the virtual hammer in an innovative online auction to raise money for turfgrass research. The Rounds4Research.com auction runs through May 6 and opens the doors to some of the most exclusive private clubs in the region such as Long Cove, Secession, Yeamans Hall and Cape Fear.

Two-time U.S. Open Championship venue, Pinehurst No. 2, and PGA Tour stops, Harbour Town Golf Links and Sedgefield Country Club, are also among courses on offer. Rounds4Research.com also offers some of the best golf in the Dominican Republic and Bermuda as well as in states surrounding the Carolinas.

Within just 72 hours of its launch, the auction presented by the Carolinas Golf Course Superintendents Association had received bids totaling close to $20,000. Proceeds will help offset mounting budget pressures on world-class turfgrass research programs at Clemson University and North Carolina State University.

“Golfers reap the benefits of the work these researchers perform and now this auction gives them a chance to say thanks and to enjoy some great golf at great prices at the same time,” says Carolinas GCSA president, Paul Jett, certified golf course superintendent at Pinehurst No. 2.

“With all the gloom and doom being cast about because of the economy, we’re glad to offer something so positive for everyone involved including golfers, the universities and the states of North and South Carolina which benefit so much from the golf industry.”

The auction timing is ideal for securing a special gift for Father’s Day, which falls on June 21 this year.
