A total purse of $600,000 will be available to the world finalists with an unprecedented $250,000 going to the Open champion. The Finals will be broadcast nationally on ESPN during the Christmas holidays. Come out and take your best shot at becoming the 2008 RE/MAX World Long Drive Champion.

"We're excited to be part of the first-phase qualifying for this hugely popular international event," said Pine Lake's PGA Head Professional Director of Instruction Chris­topher Carfangia "We're hoping someone from our area makes it all the way to the RE/ MAX world finals next fall. We have plenty of big hitters here in Youngstown and Hubbard Ohio, so I think we'll have a chance to send someone to the show. We'll see."

Terri Fabek Site Director for RE/MAX Valley said, “Winning a RE/MAX world title is the dream of every golfer who's ever swung a driver so hard and fast that he or she came off their feet and almost out of their shoes."

" Last December," continued Fabek, "over 10 million fans watched the finals on ESPN. To be able to bring this qualifying event to Youngstown is just about as exciting as it gets. With the quality of golf being played right here in the Mahoning Valley there is no doubt in my mind that someone here will be swinging for that $250 grand!”
