KFT ~ VISIT KNOXVILLE OPEN Dear Holston Hills Country Club Members, On behalf of Tour Vision Promotions and the Visit Knoxville Open, we would like to thank you for your hospitality and support during the 2021 Tournament. We had many members support the event through sponsorships, volunteerism, and attendance but you all played a part in the tournament by allowing us to host the event for a week with positive attitudes.
By all accounts, the tournament was a community wide success. Local sponsorships and volunteerism were both above our anticipation, and attendance at the tournament was high considering the social distancing protocols still in place at that time. Chris Dibble and the golf staff were impeccable in professionalism and efficiency. The staff managed player logistics during both Pro-Ams in which we had over 280 participants. Their availability and presence during the tournament represented the club well. Chef Patrick and his team also performed at the highest standards. The kitchen and service staff attended to Players, PGA Tour Officials and Clubhouse Hospitality participants for all seven days of the tournament. I would fail if I tried to mention everyone individually, but I can state that The Entire Holston Hills Staff performed the way a nationally top ranked club is expected to. The Korn Ferry Tour Players had nothing but accolades for the golf course. We all know that Donald Ross laid out the holes on this piece of land, but it’s Ryan Blair and his staff that meticulously takes care of it. The long hours his staff put in prior to and during tournament week had the golf course in excellent shape. We have started securing sponsorships for next year’s tournament. We will be offering member first opportunities in the Holston Hills weekly email starting next month. If you were unable to be part of the Visit Knoxville Open this year, we look forward to you getting involved in 2022. You can also reach out to me at any time to discuss the opportunities for next year. Thank you again Holston Hills Membership, we look forward to the future! Charlie Clarkson Tournament Director Visit Knoxville Open
