Gary Player to Join Inaugural Classic Field Series to Benefit Dave
Marr Foundation
PHOENIX, March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- AccSys Global Network Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ACCY - news)
announced today that Gary Player has agreed to play in the inaugural Classic Series event on March 30,
1998 at Superstition Mountain. The Company is also announced that the recently formed Dave Marr
Foundation has been designated as the benefiting charity of the Classic Series.
David Marr, III, CEO of AccSys Global Network Inc. stated, ''The Foundation was established to further
the game in a way that would make my father proud.''
Player, who along with fellow Classic participant Jack Nicklaus is one of only four players to win each of
the majors and complete the 'career slam,' has an illustrious record equaled by few golfers. His nine
majors include three Masters, three British Opens, two PGA Championships, and one U.S. Open. He is the
only player this century to win the British Open in three different decades (1959, 1968, 1974).
Besides his outstanding record on the PGA Tour, Player has an international record that is extraordinary.
He is a seven-time winner of the Australian Open and has won tournaments in numerous countries around
the world. A highlight of his international career is his record in his native South Africa. Since 1956,
Player has won the South African Open 13 times.
Marr stated, ''Gary is an outstanding player with a strong link to the history and traditions of the game.
His addition to our tournament makes the inaugural field stronger and conforms with our aim of bringing
on board players of the highest caliber. Furthermore, there are only two golfers still playing today who
have accomplished the most difficult feat in professional golf -- the 'career slam'. With Gary joining Jack
at The Classic, we now have them both!'' Marr added, ''Gary was a friend of my father's for 40 years. He
was always checking in with my dad toward the end to send him his best wishes. I know that that was a
tremendous boost for my father's spirits, and I am thrilled to have Gary involved as a person and a
player.''
Player said, ''I am so pleased to be able to play in The Classic. Dave Marr was a great competitor and a
true friend. Hopefully this will be just the first event in a very successful series and will raise a lot of
money for a great cause, the Dave Marr Foundation.''
By designating the Dave Marr Foundation as the benefiting charity, the many volunteers associated with
the Classic Series can be assured that their hours of volunteer service will be rewarded with an ongoing
contribution to the Foundation.
