There’s good news for personnel at Fort Bragg and other North Carolina military bases who are also golf fans.

Members of the military and Piedmont Triad teachers will be admitted free of charge to the 2011 Wyndham Championship in Greensboro courtesy of Technology Concepts & Design, Inc. The PGA Tour event will be played Aug. 15-21 at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro.

Members of the military, including active duty, reservists and veterans and their immediate families, will be admitted free of charge to the Wyndham Championship by simply showing a current military identification card.

Teachers representing Piedmont Triad-area kindergarten through high school institutions will also receive free admission to the tournament. Teachers may bring one guest with them to the tournament free of charge. This free admission is courtesy of Technology Concepts & Design, Inc., the presenting sponsor for Monday’s Kevin Harvick Foundation Pro-Am.

With their participation in these programs and their sponsorship of the Kevin Harvick Foundation Pro-Am on Monday, Technology Concepts & Design is the Wyndham Championship’s newest Premier Partner, the sponsorship level after those of Wyndham Worldwide’s title sponsorship and BB&T’s local presenting sponsorship.

“We sincerely appreciate Technology Concepts & Design making it possible for us to provide free tournament admission to two groups of very important people and for stepping up to the level of our Premier Partner sponsorship,” tournament director Mark Brazil said. “There’s no way we can thank our military enough for putting their lives on the line to protect our freedom, and educating our children is vital in preparing for our future. 

“We are honored to host these two groups of heroes, and we thank Technology Concepts & Design for making it possible.”
