Play with the PGA pros including Mickelson at Treetops' Par 3 Shootout!

Threetops Par 3 Shootout is right around the corner, and believe it or not, the resort is having a heck of a time finding some regular folk to play in the Pro-Am.

Regular folk with $6500. . .

Ford pulled out its sponsorship since its having a bit of a problem making ends meet these days, meaning this is the first year the tournament’s Pro-Am is open to the public. That means for $6500 you can be paired up with one of the 2006 contestants (Mickelson, Fred Couples, Andy North, Craig Stadler) or PGA pro/designer/Treetops owner Rick Smith.

Don’t have $6500? For a $100 raffle, open to the first 200 contestants, you’ve got a shot at playing with Phil & the boys.

Personally, for $6500, I’d rather play Pebble Beach 13 times or make bail once after I get caught sneaking on Augusta National.
