Have you seen the Airship Ventures zeppelin flying above the Bay Area skyline?

Have you looked up and wondered what the view would be like from its gondola as you gently, quietly float above the hustle and the bustle of Silicon Valley life?

Your chance has come! At this year's 25th Annual Sequoia Hospital Foundation Invitational Golf Tournament on September 13, one lucky bidder will have the chance to win a pair of tickets to ride aboard this beautiful airship.  We'll even throw in the limo ride to the hanger and a picnic lunch. 

Truly, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to gain a new perspective and a panoramic view of the beautiful Bay Area. To learn more about the zeppelin or Airship Ventures, visit their website or follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

Highly ranked PGA Tour player Nick Watney will again be joining the Sequoia Hospital Foundation's golfers at this year's Invitational Golf Tournament to be held on September 13, 2010 at the Sharon Heights Golf and Country Club. 

Nick Watney was born in Sacramento, California. He played high school golf at Davis Senior High School in Davis, California and played collegiate golf under his uncle Mike Watney at the California State University, Fresno where he was a three-time All-American golfer.

He turned professional in 2003, following in the footsteps of his uncle and coach, who played on the PGA Tour in the 1970s. Nick's first victory came later that year at the Lewis Chitengwa Memorial on the Canadian Tour. The next year he played on the Nationwide Tour, and after winning the season-ending Nationwide Tour Championship Watney earned qualification for the PGA Tour.

In 2007, Watney won his first PGA Tour title at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. This victory took Watney into the top 100 of the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time. He got his second tour win at the 2009 Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego with a one stroke victory over John Rollins.
