Snedeker Commits to 2008 Wyndham Championship

"PGA Tour golfer Brandt Snedeker, who earned his first tour victory at last year's Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, has committed to be part of this year's field.
Snedeker also inked a sponsorship deal with Wyndham Worldwide.

"I learned a lot about my game and myself during the season," Snedeker said. "For a company like Wyndham to take an interest in my career and display their confidence in my abilities, both on the golf course and as a spokesperson off the course, is truly an honor." "

Happy 40th Birthday to Amy Collins Moore

Amy Collins Moore celebrated her 40th birthday on January 19, 2008. Amy was the 1996 President of the Greensboro Jaycees and at the time was one of the youngest people to ever hold that office.

Of course the party was attended by many of Amy's "jaycee" friends, with on less than three Green Coater at the event. In a very rare moment however, the number of former Projector editors outnumbered Green Coats 4-3.

Happy Birthday Amy.
