Tony: I'd like to welcome all of you to our first Century by Buick Golf Chat! I'm Tony Derhake, Brand Manager at Buick for Century, and the host of tonight's festivities. Buick, you may know, has a unique relationship with golf, now in our fifth year sponsoring the PGA Tour. As the official car of the PGA Tour, we are the title-sponsor of four PGA Tour events - the Buick Invitational in La Jolla, California; the Buick Classic in Harrison, New York; the Buick Challenge in Pine Mountain, Georgia; as well as the Buick Open, here in Flint, Michigan, which begins tomorrow! We're especially proud that our relationship with the PGA Tour partnership results in significant charity donations. Since 1982, the four tournaments have raised more than $17 million for various organizations around the U.S., including the American Diabetes Association, the Easter Seal Society, the American Red Cross, Boys and Girls Clubs, YMCA and various junior golf associations. No better time, then, to celebrate this success! Tonight, we have the unique opportunity to talk to two of our Buick Golf celebrities, PGA Tour player Steve Elkington, and our Buick Golf Ambassador, Cheryl Ladd. Steve is one of our PGA Tour players and has a part of our Buick family since 1994. And Cheryl, our Buick Golf Ambassador since 1998, is very active in playing the Pro-Am circuit and is even starting her own Cheryl Ladd Pro-Am. I have played golf with both of them many times, and trust me, they both know their game! Tomorrow starts the Buick Open here in Flint, Michigan. We thought tonight would be the perfect time to talk golf. Let's get started! We're looking forward to the tourney tomorrow!

Cheryl: Hi, it's really nice to be with everyone. We had a fabulous day today at the Buick Open. I'm speaking to you at 30,000 feet, on my way back to Los Angeles.

Steve: I'm calling from the great city of Flint, Michigan, and the Buick Open. I'm looking forward to this chat! And in playing tomorrow.

Caddyshack: What is the best golf tip you ever got?

Steve: Best tip I ever got was that on the backswing you have to turn your shoulder until it's under your chin, and on your follow-through, go all the way until the shaft touches your neck.
