Press Release Summary: Writers From Throughout The Eastern United States And Canada
Competed To Win The "Sea Trail Golf Writers Invitational"

Press Release Body: Sea Trail Golf Resort & Convention Center, located in Sunset
Beach, N.C. hosted their inaugural Sea Trail Golf Writers Invitational Tournament
April 4-6 at the resort's Jones and Maples courses. Participants included 12 golf
writers from across the United States and Canada.

Grant Hall of The Morning News Of Northwest Arkansas won the event, and Denis
Messier, of La Tribune in Quebec, Canada was the tournament's runner-up.

"We at Sea Trail were honored to host this invitational tournament and the great
group of guys who participated in it," said Tom Plankers president of golf at Sea
Trail Golf Resort & Convention Center. "We developed this event as a prelude to
Augusta, a stop along the way for writers heading there for The Masters. It was an
opportunity for them to enjoy the camaraderie of their fellow writers, as well as
some friendly competition. They told us they had a lot of fun and they gathered a
lot of information for a travel feature. It was a win-win for them and for Sea
Trail, so we plan to build on its success next year and invite even more writers to
participate."
