U.S. and Canada Face Off in RBC Golf Tournament at TwinEagles

13 Feb 2009 14:18:00 -0500

The United States and Canada have long been comrades and competitors, sharing the world's largest trade partnership and longest border. Later this month, teams from either side of that border will face off on local turf in the 2009 Southwest Florida Golf Classic. Bonita Bay Group has partnered with RBC Bank to sponsor the RBC Cup, an U.S.-versus-Canada golf tournament, scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 26, at The Club at TwinEagles. The event will include an auction and reception, with proceeds benefiting Big Cypress Wilderness Institute. "It's an honor to be able to host this tournament, which brings us together with our Canadian friends for some high-spirited competition at TwinEagles," said David Lucas, chairman of Bonita Bay Group. "We are pleased to be able to partner with RBC Bank to make this event happen." The tournament promises to be both fun and challenging as it will be played on TwinEagles' acclaimed Gary Player-designed Aerie course. Amateur golf great O. Gordon Brewer Jr. will serve as captain of the U.S. team. Alain Forget, RBC Bank's vice president of strategy and business development for cross-border banking, will lead the Canadians. The victorious country will gain bragging rights and the inaugural RBC Cup. "I'm delighted to participate in this event, which combines charitable giving with golf on an exceptional course," noted Forget. "With more than 2,700,000 Canadians visiting the Sunshine State each year, RBC is thrilled to sponsor this friendly, cross-border competition." Brewer, a two-time United States Golf Association Senior Amateur champion and resident of Bonita Bay, is the 2009 recipient of the prestigious Bob Jones Award, the USGA's highest honor for sportsmanship in golf. Previous recipients include Jack Nicklaus, Gene Sarazen, Patty Berg and Gary Player. "It's exciting to be heading up the team," Brewer said. "International matches are always special. They promote goodwill among countries, in this case, with our neighbors to the north. Of course, when you represent your country, you always want to play your best. I think everyone who is privileged to participate will know they are involved in something special. It's the kind of event through which good friendships are made." TwinEagles, a 1,115-acre community developed by Bonita Bay Group, affords residents not only a carefree, active lifestyle, but also a premium golf experience. The Club at TwinEagles is certified by Audubon International as a Signature Sanctuary and is the only private club in Florida with courses designed by two living legends. Jack Nicklaus designed The Talon, a perfect complement to the Player-designed Aerie. TwinEagles has made Travel + Leisure Golf's list of the top 100 U.S. golf communities for three consecutive years and received a top award from the Council for Sustainable Florida. Golf + Travel Magazine has named it one of the 12 Most Intriguing Golf Communities in America. The tournament will have a 12:30 p.m. shotgun start with Vegas-scramble foursomes for men, women and mixed teams. Entry is $125 per person, which includes golf, cart, driving range and dinner. Those who wish to attend the dinner pay only $40. For registration forms and information, contact Nathan Groce, TwinEagles, 239-354-1724 or Carole Lavigne, RBC Bank, 561-443-5451. "Having a U.S.-verses-Canada golf competition in Southwest Florida makes perfect sense considering a growing number of Canadians are choosing to retire here or invest in second homes," added Lucas. "Southwest Florida International Airport is more accessible than ever, with direct flights from Toronto and other Canadian cities. With home prices at their lowest in a decade, savvy investors realize it's an ideal time to buy their places in the sun." The National Association of Realtors recently reported that Canadians accounted for nearly a quarter of all U.S. foreign homebuyers between May 2007 and May 2008, twice the number of the previous year. Florida is the top choice for Canadian buyers, who now own $5 billion of property in the Sunshine State. Forget believes the tournament reflects the special relationship that exists between Canada and the United States. "Our two countries are able to compete yet remain staunch allies," Forget said. "As more and more Canadians choose to live at least part of the year in Southwest Florida, I believe a similar relationship will naturally develop among neighbors and events such as this will serve to strengthen that bond." Recognized as Canada's financial services leader in cash management, international trade finance and foreign exchange, RBC Royal Bank's U.S. fully-owned subsidiary, RBC Bank, offers 86 branches in Florida including five in Southwest Florida. The Raleigh, N.C.-based RBC Bank features a program that assists Canadians successfully navigate the American home-buying maze. For more information, visit www.RBCBankUSA.com. Bonita Bay Group is celebrating 25 years in Southwest Florida as a diversified company involved in the planning, development, sales and management of master-planned communities, free-standing recreational amenities and commercial facilities. The company is respected for its commitment to meticulous planning, environmental stewardship, integrity and attention to detail.
