Larry Green, a lifelong golfer from Raleigh, N.C., will be making his first visit to Reynolds Lake Oconee as winner of the “Reynolds 360 with Stewart Cink” sweepstakes. Next month, Green and a friend get to enjoy a golf experience with the PGA Tour star as part of a dream vacation to Reynolds Lake Oconee, the award-winning golf and lakefront destination between Atlanta and Augusta, Georgia.
The grand prize also features two rounds of golf, luxury accommodations at The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds Lake Oconee, complimentary dinners, airfare, ground transportation, and more, including a clay shooting experience at the resort’s new Sandy Creek Sporting Grounds. The contest was open Jan. 4-March 8, 2018 to subscribers of the personalized Reynolds Insider e-newsletter and nearly 52,000 entries were received.
“Congratulations to Larry for winning the contest and I look forward to us having some fun playing golf and exploring the outdoors at Reynolds Lake Oconee,” Cink said. “This is an incredible vacation.”
Cink, the popular six-time winner on the PGA Tour, is a resident of Duluth, Ga., roughly 80 miles from Reynolds Lake Oconee. An outdoors enthusiast, he enjoys boating and water sports, which makes him an ideal partner during a trip to the luxury golf community located on 19,000-acre Lake Oconee.
Green, 55, is a civil and electrical engineer who works as a traffic engineer in Raleigh. Originally from the Washington, D.C., area, Green grew up playing golf with his dad. But now, since Green’s immediate family has no golfers, his guest will be golf partner Michael Langley, of Durham, N.C., who competes with Green on the interclub team from The Crossings Golf Club in Durham.
“I play golf twice a month,” said Green, who plays to a 10 index at The Crossings. “I am really looking forward to meeting Stewart Cink and playing golf with him. I remember how he beat Tom Watson for the British Open. Plus, I like boating, like to fish occasionally and am definitely interested in the Sporting Grounds.”
Home to one of the most diverse collections of elite courses in the United States, Reynolds Lake Oconee is one of only 11 golf resorts in the country to earn the prestigious Platinum Medal from GOLF Magazine. The six distinctive designs, fantastic lodging and dining options, and magnificent lakefront location have firmly established Reynolds Lake Oconee as one of the nation’s premier golf and lakefront destinations and communities.
Reynolds Lake Oconee is also home to The Reynolds Kingdom of Golf presented by TaylorMade, which is one of the only facilities in the country where recreational golfers can receive professional instruction, be fit for new equipment in the same elite environment used by Tour professionals, and have their equipment built before their very eyes.
