McCollum Scorches Wente Links

San Francisco, CA. Mark McCollum scorched a lush green course at Wente Vineyards last week to capture the first leg of the izmocars Rainmaker Invitational and earn a trip to Pebble Beach to play for the izmocars National Championship. McCollum shot a 69 for the day.

While the temperature hit 100 degrees on the elevated 9th hole, 15 Bay Area Auto Dealers from the San Francisco Region participated in the first leg of the izmocars Golf Tour, 2006 in Livermore, California.

McCollum of Toyota Marin began the day by winning the putting contest before the match began. With just 6 putts, the other players knew who they would be chasing for the coveted trip to Pebble.

The course, the color of Emeralds in the midst of gold flowing hills, was in near perfect form for McCollum and others in the field. But, that is just the beginning as the Bay Area Dealers not proved they were not only competitive on the showroom floor but also had a knack for the links.

Jim Bailey played the best round of golf he ever played, according to the general Manager of Dublin Honda. Bailey also took home the silver for the fewest putts on the course. In his case the silver was actually gold as the dealership won an izmocars email program for six months.

But Bailey and McCollum were not the day’s only champions. Paul Campagna of Folsom Lake Ford won the longest drive contest and finished the course one stroke behind McCollum, while Bill Benak of Sunnyvale Ford captured the straightest drive award and Doug Melonoph of University Honda was closest to the pin out of all the linksmen at the tournament.

The izmocars Rainmaker Invitational Golf tour, 2006, continues on July 11th in Atlanta and moves to metropolitan Boston on June 25 as dealers will congregate at The PineIsle Golf Course, and The Olde Scotland Links, rerspectively, to play the second leg of the Rainmaker Invitational. The remaining eight legs of the tour will continue in Boston, Scottsdale, Seattle, Chicago, Miami, San Diego, Las Vegas, and New York, culminating in Pebble Beach, California on March 4, 2007.
