2005 "Clicks of Chicks"
One last photo from the 2005 CCG workdays. The old Greensboro Jaycee Projector magazine had a feature called "Clicks of Chicks". It was a photo of a pretty girl that ran every issue. It's not really politically correct now, but what the heck.

Two Questions with 2003 CCG General Chairman Judy Revels
I ran into 2003 Chrysler Classic General Chairman Judy Revels at the 2005 Coca-Cola Youth Golf Clinic held at the driving range at Forest Oaks Coutry Club on September 25 and I asked her a few questions.
ggoblogger: Can you tell me a little about some of the recent changes and your feelings on that?
Judy Revels: "The recent changes that happened as long ago as two years ago and moving it (Chrysler Classic of Greensboro) to the fall, our new course with Davis Love designing it. There have been a lot of changes made to the golf tournament. Very positive changes.Positive changes that have moved us in a direction for the future and for securing our golf tournament into what the PGA TOUR model is.
The PGA is still trying to evolve itself. To figure out where it needs to be as far as television coverage goes and competition with other network sports and that puts a tournament like Greensboro into a little bit of a precarious position. We've done everything that we've been asked. We've done everything right following what our 2.3 million dollar-a-year sponsor wanted, to what the PGA TOUR needs from us, to what the communtiy has demanded from us as far as the foundation goes.
And it's unfortunate, I think for this wonderful community, that they have the chance of losing the golf tournament because of outside environmental issuses."
ggoblogger: One of the things I hear in the media is that this new foundation is going to save the tournament. It seems a little unfair to me because some of the changes the Tour is considering are really out of our hands. Does it seem fair to put the fate of the event solely on the shoulders of the Jaycees?
Judy Revels: "I think that there are a lot of things that are unfair too. If you look at some of the members of the community foundation, or the foundation for the Jaycees, they're now talking about how we (Greensboro Jaycees) made the decision to move our golf tournament to the fall and that we made the decision to change our course.
These were decisions that were out of our hands. These were decisions that were put into a contract by the PGA TOUR that they said 'you will move to the fall because your 2.3 million dollar-a-year sponsor wants it. You will redesign your golf course or you won't have a golf tournament here'.
And I think that the Jaycees were extremely responsible. They were fiscally responsible, they were responsible when it came to administranting all of this and they did the right things. They looked to people for advice. They tapped into their past leadership.
The one thing that really frustrates me is that this is always made like it was a decision was that one person just sat down and made or a couple of Jaycees just made. These were years that these decisions happened.They were done by committee.They were done by many, many, many people sitting around. And many advisors sitting around.And now when it comes down to the hot spot, everyone raises their hand and says 'I didn't do it" I think the Jaycees made every decision they needed to the right way."
