Casa de Campo Resort & Villas Becomes Official Destination Partner of the Swag Series

Legendary Dominican Resort Will Serve as ‘Key Sponsor’ for 14-Event Series Beginning in March

(LA ROMANA, Dominican Republic) – Casa de Campo Resort & Villas – home to the Caribbean’s premier, luxury golf experiences, including its iconic Teeth of the Dog ranked No. 20 in Golf Digest’s “Top 100 Courses in the World” – announces its partnership with Swag Golf to become the exclusive destination partner of the golf brand’s inaugural competition, the Swag Series, operated by Am Golf Trips. 

Swag Golf is a premium, limited-edition golf accessory, equipment and apparel company. The Swag Series will feature 14 events across the U.S., fielding 100 players in a unique, 18-hole, two player better ball format. The series opened for registration on Feb. 15 and culminates during its National Championship event in October at Big Cedar Lodge in Branson, Mo.

Casa de Campo prizes will be offered throughout the competition. They include a four-night stay for two people and multiple rounds of golf on Teeth of the Dog, Dye Fore and The Links for anyone who makes a hole-in-one on any of the designated Par-3s. The winners of the series will also be offered a four-night stay for two in the resort’s superior rooms and include the same golf experience. For any Swag Series participant booking a stay at the resort, there are many complimentary value-adds each guest can tap into. All prize information can be found here. 

The Swag Series will consist of two divisions: gross and net. Teams of two, each playing their own ball, will have a chance to compete for each prize. A verified USGA handicap is only required to compete in the net division.

This customized partnership between Casa de Campo Resort & Villas and Swag Golf was conceived and brokered by The Erlick Group, a New York-based entertainment sponsorship agency that has represented an expansive portfolio of distinctive properties for 30 years.

“We are honored to partner with Swag Golf and their inaugural golf series happening at some of the best courses and resorts across the U.S.,” says Jason Kycek, senior vice-president of sales and marketing. “It will be a fun and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many golf enthusiasts to not only have a memorable season but come and enjoy everything our world-class resort has to offer as well.”

“As we embark on the inaugural Swag Series we could not be more excited to partner with Casa De Campo to provide our customers with the opportunity to experience their legendary golf resort,” says Swag CEO Nick Venson. “We look forward to furthering our relationship by collaborating on special events and unique merchandise offerings in the near future.”

Teeth of the Dog has long been a “bucket list” layout for those seeking to play one of the top 50 golf courses in the world. Dye’s design hallmarks are all present: railroad ties, vast waste areas, peninsula greens and tees, hand-sculpted putting surfaces and a unique assortment of pot bunkers. “The Heaven 7” oceanfront holes are astoundingly beautiful, causing Dye to famously quip: “I created 11 holes and God created seven.”

The resort’s world-class Golf Learning Center is a “must visit” when on property. Highlighted by Trackman and BODITRAK technology, it features two indoor hitting bays for rapid game improvement, year-round training, individual and group golf lessons and schools, and expert club-fitting and repair. Residing on 21 acres of “pure grass,” the PGA Tour-quality facility also showcases practice greens for honing putting, chipping and pitching skills as well as unlimited use of the pristine outdoor range for full shots. On-course instruction is also available.

Pickett’s Village Bar and Stand Up New York Join Forces for Dinner and a Show March 3

Storied NYC Comedy Club Delivers Top Talent for Night of Entertainment

Evening Kicks Off with Three Course Meal by Chef Rich Krug

Maplewood, NJ – February 10, 2022 – Pickett’s Village Bar has joined forces with legendary UWS comedy club Stand Up NY to create a pairing of a great meal and lots of laughs. The “dinner and a show” will take place at Pickett’s Upstairs on Thursday, March 3, beginning at 7PM. A rollicking comedic line-up, plus a three-course meal by Chef Rich Krug, is $95 per person. The meal will include a Pickett’s Salad and a duet with your choice of Grilled Atlantic Salmon with Honey Lemon Glaze, Roasted New York Strip Steak and/or a Vegan option, along with a glass of wine or beer and cookies for dessert. You can buy your ticket here.  

According to Pickett’s Village Bar General Manager, Nicholas Ciccone, the collaboration with Stand Up NY is a natural progression of the live music program the restaurant has been building over the past couple years. 

“Pickett’s has become a destination for awesome live music in an inviting outdoor setting,” said Ciccone. “Now that we have Pickett’s Upstairs, another extension of our dining room, we’re thrilled to up the ante with live entertainment all year round. We’re excited to expand our offering from music to comedy, and to welcome the talented folks from Stand Up NY into the Pickett’s family.” 

Stand Up NY, one of the country’s premier comedy clubs, is known for giving a stage to emerging stars like Chris Rock and Amy Schumer and continues to be a breeding ground of up-and-coming comedic talent. Dani Zoldan, owner of Stand Up NY is equally excited about the collaboration. 

“With fewer folks commuting regularly, we see a real opportunity to bring the Stand Up NY experience to creative, fun-loving communities that enjoy comedy, and may miss going to shows,” said Dani Zoldan, owner, Stand Up NY. “We’re excited to partner with Pickett’s to bring our outstanding roster of nationally acclaimed comedic talent to their beautiful venue for a great night out.” 

Here’s the evening’s lineup:  

Ashley Austin Morris will emcee. In addition to being “house host” at Stand Up NY, She’s a regular performer at Gotham Comedy Club, West Side Comedy and Dangerfield’s. You may also recognize her from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Big Bang Theory, The Good Wife and Ugly Betty.

Our headliner is Gianmarco Soresi, who made his television debut on CBS’s Blue Bloods playing Tom Selleck’s waiter, a role he prepared for by actually becoming a waiter for 12 years. Gianmarco won Amazon’s Comics Watching Comics Season 8, and also earned 1st place at the Laughing Devil Comedy Festival, Devil’s Cup Comedy Festival, Empire State Comedy Festival and Last Comic Standing at Mohegan Sun.
