To have a chance to win, students will need to write an essay on “What can be done to spread the game of golf to the youth of America.” Essays should be around 300 words and will be judged on creativity, content and grammar. The essay contest will take place from February 4, 2002 until March 5, 2002. The winning students will get to meet Mr. Strange and play golf with him when he visits the Golf Club at Brickshire. Mr. Strange will visit the community in March to play his first official round of golf on the 18-Hole Signature Golf Course he helped design.

“The chance to play golf with a legend like Mr. Strange is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” said Rick Melchor, general manager at Brickshire. “The fact that we can offer these young golfers the chance to meet and play golf with the captain of this year’s U.S. Ryder Cup team is exciting. It’s part of Brickshire’s commitment to the young players in our sport.”

As part of their commitment, Brickshire makes their course available as the practice facility and home course for the New Kent High School golf team.

Once completed, this exclusive 1,800-acre golf course community will consist of nearly 921 spacious and affordably-priced home sites ranging from one-third to just over one acre. The Community features home sites from the $60s, homes from the low $300,000s. Set in natural wooded surroundings, nearly all residences will offer views of the community’s lakes, parks, or the 18-hole Curtis Strange Signature Golf Course. The innovative Curtis Strange course features surprises sure to delight the pros, yet kind enough to keep high handicappers coming back. The course includes four holes created from Mr. Strange’s impressions of four of his favorite golf holes, including the third hole at Augusta National, the fourteenth hole at St. Andrews, the seventh hole at Pinehurst #2 and the tenth hole at Riviera.
