2024 BMW Charity Pro-Am
Jun 6 all-day
Thornblade Club

The BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by TD SYNNEX is the only tournament on the Korn Ferry Tour where amateurs and celebrities are grouped with Korn Ferry Tour professionals in a three-day better-ball competition over two courses. Amateurs, celebrities and professionals rotate between the two courses, Thornblade Club, and The Carolina Country Club with the 12 lowest scoring amateur teams, four lowest scoring celebrity teams advancing to play Saturday’s final round at Thornblade Club. The lowest 65 pros (and ties) will play on Saturday and Sunday at Thornblade Club.

Please note: Play will be at The Carolina Country Club on Thursday and Friday (June 6 & 7) ONLY.  Thornblade Club will be Thursday – Sunday (June 6-9).  Approximate tee times: First wave 6:45am-8:30am Second wave 12:00pm-1:30pm, double tees.
We are excited to provide a carbon neutral experience for all patrons of the “BMW Charity Pro-Am” by investing in the ‘Gold Standard’ of carbon offset credits through Milliken Advisors and Green Trees. Milliken Advisors and Green Trees are investing in South Carolina by establishing world class forests on marginal non-timbered acres, creating new forested acres that will be instrumental in the sustainability challenge ahead.
Each ticket will include a marginal increase of $1.67, that will be invested directly into Green Trees allowing further expansion into the great state of South Carolina.

PUBLIC ART IN THE PARK self-guided tour
Jun 6 all-day
Greenville SC

The beauty of the waterfalls and gardens is enhanced by the graceful lines of the Liberty Bridge’s architecture and the appealing stonework throughout the park. But that is only the beginning. Several pieces of public art can be found within and around the park. Inside the park you’ll find:

  • The sculpture “Rose Crystal Tower,” created by internationally-renowned artist Dale Chihuly, was commissioned by the Wyche Sculpture Committee, comprised of Wyche family members and friends, to honor Harriet Wyche, whom the garden was named for. Wyche was a life-long Greenville resident and community volunteer, who was instrumental in establishing Falls Park, and played a critical role in its continued development over many decades.
  • A commissioned sculpture by internationally-recognized artist Bryan Hunt, is found at the Main Street entrance to Falls Park. This unique sculpture, Falls Lake Falls, is the second in an edition of 3 (the original is in Tokyo ) and the only piece of its kind on this continent.
  • Evoking much thought and discussion, “Untitled 2002-2003” by Joel Shapiro is also commonly referred to as the dancing or running sculpture. It is located across the river from the main entrance, at the Wyche, Burgess, Freeman and Parham overlook.
  • “Sunflower Fountain,” created by Ed Zeigler, Charles Gunning and Robert Brown, can be found in Pedrick’s Garden. Named for Pedrick Lowrey, one of the principal fundraiser for the park, the fountain is cast bronze and patterned after the center radiating spirals of a sunflower, which was Pedrick’s favorite flower.
