            GOLDEN TEE TEAM USA 2005 - LIVE QUALIFIER

After two months of intense online qualification, Golden Tee LIVE players across the U.S. set their sights on the live Team USA Qualifier on October 15th at Mazzy’s in Marietta, Georgia.

Over 1,000 players played 10 games on each Golden Tee LIVE course to achieve a scoring average that ranked as one of the top 72 averages in the country! A record shattering minimum score of –25.42 was the qualifying cut and Chris Litzinger, of Cincinnati, Ohio, was the #1 qualifier with a remarkable –29.34.

68 of the 72 qualifiers trekked to Georgia on a crisp fall weekend to compete for one of the coveted spots on Team USA. With reigning World Champion, Jeff Harlow, of Florissant, Missouri, and five-time Player of the Year, Dean Liakakos, of Dayton, Ohio, receiving walk-on spots for the Team, 14-roster spots were left in contention.

Since the retirement of Golden Tee Fore!, all the players were determined to not only make this year’s World Championship, but to prove their excellence on the new platform, Golden Tee LIVE.

12 machines lined the walls of Mazzy’s, and players from nearly every region of the country were in attendance. As the first major event in quite some time, everyone at Mazzys was anxious, full of energy and good spirits.

Cumberland, Heather Pointe and Coral Vista were the three courses chosen for the qualifier and each player competed under the same conditions. Nearly everyone in the field put up astounding scores, making perfection the key to qualifying for the team.
