Tournament week is quickly approaching with 2010 marking the 23rd year that the Champions Tour has held an official event in Naples, Florida. We are also excited to celebrate this year's 12th anniversary of the ACE Group of Companies' commitment as the title sponsor.

The ACE Group Classic is excited to showcase a new host course, The Quarry, which should provide a dynamic challenge to the Champions Tour golfers. The Quarry has a links-style design which will allow fans to enjoy a variety of shot types and ball flights. Our 18th green setup will also create a great atmosphere for everyone, and we will also have public bleachers on the driving range and 1st, 15th and 17th holes.

We will have a variety of daily activities going on for fans. There will be water ski shows Friday - Sunday from 4:00 - 5:30 p.m. on Stone Lake at the center of The Quarry. The Pincher's Patio will be sponsored by Pincher's Crab Schack and will be located from the back patio of the Golf Lodge. It is open to the public. We have also created The Ledge, a public bar located on the back of the 18th green grandstands that is 45 feet in the air and will have a great view of the 18th hole and flat screen TVs for additional viewing.

Saturday is Seminole Saturday and the Seminole casino will give away casino discounts at the front gate. The final round will be the Fifth Third Bank Sunday and all Fifth Third Bank card holders will be admitted free by showing their cards at the main gate.

Last year's champion Loren Roberts will compete for his third ACE title, but he will be challenged by one of the top fields on the Champions Tour. The Tournament's location, timing and hospitality always brings out the top contenders for the Charles Schwab Cup, as well as a good mixture of Champions Tour legends and newcomers.

Hurry up and get your tickets, as there are only three more weeks until this year's ACE Group Classic comes to town!
