PEVELY FARMS NAMED HOST COURSE OF THE 2009 NFL DDC COURSE

(AP) – ST. LOUIS –Pevely Farms Golf Club in Eureka, Missouri has been officially chosen to host the 2009 NFL Draft Day Classic this Memorial Day weekend. Internet bloggers have long speculated as to the secret location of the 2009 DDC while the rest of the world tried to figure out if there was such a thing as a non-internet blogger. It was decided there was not.

Nestled in the Meramec River Valley just outside St. Louis, Pevely Farms is known for its scenic views, rolling hills, and challenging holes. While the scenery may be new to the competitors of the DDC, they should feel somewhat at home as Pevely Farms was designed by Arthur Hills, the architect behind building former DDC host course , Stonebridge Golf Club, and the renovations to former DDC hose courses, the University of Michigan Golf Course and Leslie Park.

Pevely Farms offers both shot makers and long drivers a unique challenge. The front nine is set up links style and requires pin point accuracy and smart decision making. The back nine takes advantage of the valley’s rolling hills and forest and makes for an intimidating round of golf.

“I am excited we finally know where we are going to retain the Birdie.” Boasted Matt Nolan, upon hearing the news. “Pevely Farms, Old MacDonald’s Farm, State Farm, it doesn’t matter. We will dominate anywhere.”

When asked about his partner’s confidence, Michael Ostrander only replied, “Nolan, Nolan, Nolan,” while shaking his head.

When Ostrander was asked about the course, he said, “Oh, I love the decision. Being from West Michigan I am used to rolling hills and playing in the woods. I welcome the challenge Pevely presents. On a different subject, I would like to remind people that I have lost weight and they can’t make fun of that any more in news articles in the lead up to the DDC.”

Ostrander then picked up his five gallon container of potato salad he was eating and left to pick up his order at KFC.

“While I don’t know much about the course, I can say that Pevely makes some damn fine milk and dairy products.” Said Jim Stachowiak. “I can’t wait to get down there and win back the Birdie.”

It was also revealed that the 2009 NFL DDC Pro-Am would be hosted by Gateway National Golf Links in Madison, Illinois, making the 2009 NFL DDC weekend the first to be held in two states. Gateway National, on the east banks of the Mississippi River, provides golfers with great views of the St. Louis skyline and the unique sounds of Gateway International Raceway.

The location of the DDC banquet and other activities have not be finalized yet but details are expected to follow in the coming weeks.
