Press Release April, 2009
Gold Record Golf Trophies Top The Charts
Green Day drummer Tre Cool will present awards to winners.
Drummer Tre Cool of the internationally successful rock group Green
Day will return to host the 3rd Annual Music In Schools Today Golf
Tournament, April 20, 2009 at Sequoyah Country Club in Oakland
California. Gold Records Custom Made, an award and design firm in
Williamsport, PA has been commissioned again to make the gold record
golf awards being given as trophies to the winning golfers. Some of
the participants this year include Tre Cool, Mike Dirnt also of
Green Day, vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, Tom Luce (who lent the
name to his group Luce), producer Butch Vig, and DJ Vinnie Hasson
from RadioAlice.
Golf has become a favorite sport of many rock musicians, including
high profile golfers Alice Cooper (who has written the acclaimed
autobiography, Alice Cooper, Golf Monster) and Kid Rock (who in 2007
magnanimously replaced 6 sets of young girls' golf clubs stolen from
their coach's car, after reading of the incident). Alice Copper, in
an interview in Juice Magazine, stated, "When I was in the band,
nobody played golf. It was one of those "anti-rocker" sports. I
started playing golf when I quit drinking, twenty years ago. I
needed something to do to waste that time.
You chased the white ball?
Yeah, same thing. The amazing thing was that I was the closet golfer
and now Iggy plays. Now, Lou Reed and all these super underground
guys play golf."
So Iggy Pop and Lou Reed have also hit the fairways, along with
musicians from most points in the musical spectrum, including Kenny
G. Now 50, Kenny G tops Golf Digest's inaugural Top 100 in Music
ranking and is a club stroke-play champion at Sherwood Country Club
in Thousand Oaks, California. The first listing of the rankings,
which include Vince Gill, the Gatlin Brothers, Justin Timberlake,
Huey Lewis, Dweezil Zappa, Glen Campbell, John Michael Montgomery,
Michael Bolton, Johnny Mathis, Glenn Frey, Smokey Robinson, Kenny
Rankin, Bob Dylan, Snoop Dogg, Mick Fleetwood and Neil Young can be

For over 20 years Gold Records Custom Made has supplied gold record
awards for top performers in many different industries, and
sports awards including golf awards, yachting awards, baseball
awards, and soccer awards.
