Sweepstakes

I am very excited about this week. The first week of October means that the ANNIKA Academy will be back in full swing. It's been well documented that the Academy has been a dream of mine for a long time and it has been amazing to see it come to life. While we had the grand opening last April, it was more about unveiling the facility and getting the "kinks out." Now we are ready to create inspirational experiences for our guests.

We have a tremendous staff that really understands my vision, purpose, and our Academy Promise:    

* We welcome our guests as our friends for life.    
* We will share Annika’s passion for golf and fitness.
* We will present a one of a kind experience.    
* We will inspire each guest to reach their full potential.

We have an extra special group of guests who will kick things off from October 1-3. This group is the winners of the "Share My Passion" sweepstakes. They represent the promotion that we ran in conjunction with my partners throughout the summer that was hosted on www.golfdigest.com. We had over 10,800 fans sign up for a chance to win!! Now, these eight lucky winners will receive a Soren-Slam Package, which is the highest we have at the Academy. We will also have one lucky winner receive the "Dream Package," which is an amazing collection of high-end gifts from my participating partners. The winner will leave the Academy with a flight on a NetJets private plane, three golf vacations at different Ginn resorts, a golf wardrobe from Cutter & Buck; a Lexus for a year, a custom set of Callaway clubs; lunch with Susan Reed from Golf for Women, and shopping sprees from Oakley and Kraft... and a Rolex watch!! The Golf Channel will be at the Academy on Tuesday filming the presentation of the grand prize. I can hardly wait!!

Until next time...
