Watering Hole
The par-3 10th hole at the Greystone Golf and Country Club has been christened “The Watering Hole.” Centrally located and open to the public, the high-energy Watering Hole will be THE place to be with the elevated 10th green as a picturesque backdrop. Just feet from the action in the middle of the roars from an enthusiastic gallery, drinks will be served.
Saturday Concert
On Saturday, May 8th, after the golfers have finished their rounds, the Marshall Tucker Band will perform on the grounds. All you need is a Saturday tournament ticket to listen and dance to the tunes of the Southern Rock legends.
Remember to purchase your tickets!
Charity
When you’re putting on a charity fundraiser, the last thing you want to have happen is a global pandemic. That’s exactly what happened with the 2020 Regions Tradition golf tournament—twice. Still, the Regions Tradition managed to raise a record $1.2 million for charities across Alabama. Simply unbelievable.
Since its inception in 1992, the tournament has raised more than $19 million.
The primary beneficiary from the tournament is near and dear to many of us, Children’s of Alabama.
Final Details
Remember the gates at The Tradition open at 8 a.m. every day of the tournament and the Golf Channel will broadcast all four days of the tournament with live coverage. Feel free to bring your own chairs! There will be less seating this year than in past years.
Tickets are available at Regionstradition.com and cost $25 for general admission. All active and former military members get in for free with a valid ID, while kids 18 and under get in free with a ticketed adult.
Welcome back Regions Tradition! Let’s make this year’s tournament memorable.
