Patriot Golf Day VACAVILLE — The Northern California PGA Foundation is pleased to announce Patriot Golf Day, which is being held Labor Day Weekend (Sept. 3-5). It is the flagship fundraiser for the Folds of Honor Foundation, a non- profit organization that provides scholarships for the children and spouses of military men and women disabled or killed while serving our nation. During Patriot Golf Day, golfers of participat- ing public facilities are typically asked to add an extra dollar to their greens fees to fund Folds of Honor scholarships. Pri- vate golf facilities often design their own programs to raise money including raffles, closest to the pin contests, and more. "We encourage both new and long-time golfers to come out for Patriot Golf Day. It's also a great way for families to enjoy the outdoors and each other, while contributing to a worthwhile cause," said Chris Thomas, execu- tive director of the NCPGA Foundation.

Pryor's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said his client was excited about going in the third round after waiting until last Thursday to find out he'd even be eligible for the supplemental draft and not working out for teams until Saturday. ''We're tickled and thrilled that Terrelle went in the third round and to the Raiders,'' Rosenhaus said. ''The third round is quite an accomplishment for a young man who had his pro day 48 hours ago and didn't know he would be in the draft until Thursday morning and was- n't able to meet with any decision makers.'' The Raiders used the 18th selection of the third round for Pryor, forfeiting a pick in that round in the 2012 draft. Pryor immedi- ately headed to the Bay Area after being drafted and Rosenhaus said he hoped to finalize a contract as soon as possible to get Pryor on the practice field. Rosenhaus has already negotiated a third-round deal with the Raiders this summer with rookie cornerback DeMar- cus Van Dyke. ''We're optimistic this will be a smooth negotia- tion,'' he said. ''We enjoy working with the Raiders and he's very excited.'' Pryor will be able to practice immediately after signing and play in the remaining two exhibition games. But he will not be eligible to practice with or play for Oakland during the regular season until the team's sixth game. While there has been some specu- lation that Pryor's future could come as a receiver or tight end, Raiders coach Hue Jackson said he views Pryor as a quarterback and he will start his career there. ''The guy had a very sto- ried career at Ohio State,'' Jackson said. ''He can throw it, he can run with it. He's smart, he's tough, he's played in big games. He's another young athlete that we'll add to the mix that plays quarterback and we'll work with him and get this guy to be a good player.'' When he was allowed to SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — After violence marred a weekend preseason game against the archrival Oakland Raiders, the San Francisco 49ers on Monday moved to strengthen security at home games, including banning tailgating after kick- off and warning fans that rowdy behavior won't be tolerated. In addition, 49ers CEO Jed York said he will recom- mend that the NFL call off the annual preseason battle between the Niners and Raiders indefinitely. ''This is a game where you have a rivalry situation and, unfortunately you have the worst segment from a very small segment of both fan bases that come and brings about this type of event,'' York said at a news conference at Candlestick Park. ''It's our belief that we should recommend to the NFL that this game is at least postponed for some period of time.'' York later said, ''It's unfortunate.'' Raiders' CEO Amy MCT file photo The Oakland Raiders selected Terrelle Pryor in the Supplemental Draft. enter Monday's draft, he was handed a five-game sus- pension by Commissioner Roger Goodell — the same number of games he would have sat out had he returned to Ohio State. Pryor has said he will not appeal the sus- pension. Pryor gave up his final season with the Buckeyes after an investigation into the team's memorabilia-for- cash scandal that cost coach Jim Tressel his job. His selection by the Raiders hardly is surprising. Oakland often makes bold moves in the draft because owner Al Davis covets size and speed. Pryor ran a 4.36 in the 40 during his workout for 17 NFL teams Saturday. At 6-foot-5 and 232 pounds, he is similar in height to JaMarcus Russell, the LSU quarterback chosen No. 1 overall by the Raiders in the 2007 draft. But Pryor is much more mobile. As a junior, Pryor had his best season statisti- cally, throwing for 2,772 yards and 27 touchdowns with 11 interceptions. He also ran for 754 yards and four scores while helping the Buckeyes win the Sugar Bowl. ''We all know how Al Davis likes big players who can run and Terrelle brings a dimension of size and speed that's unique to the quarter- back position,'' Rosenhaus said. ''The Raiders are a good fit for him because they have had an unsettled quarterback situation for a number of years and have worked in a number of dif- ferent players. Any young quarterback would like the opportunity to go there and compete and be the guy.'' Oakland's starting quar- terback is Jason Campbell, now in his second season with the Raiders after being acquired from Washington, where he spent five seasons. Campbell is in the last year of his contract, as are back- ups Kyle Boller and Trent Edwards. The Raiders considered drafting a quarterback to groom for the future in April but did not find the right fit. Now they have Pryor to fill that role. Pryor said he's thankful for the opportunity to play in the NFL. ''The type of guy that you're getting is a competi- tive guy, a feisty guy that wants to win and will do anything to win,'' he told the NFL Network. ''Work hard and a person that is just opportunistic. I'm just wait- ing for an opportunity and when I get it, I'm going to have success.'' Pryor will be joined by a former teammate when he signs with the Raiders. Oak- land had drafted cornerback Chimdi Chekwa in the fourth round in April and Chekwa gave Pryor a glow- ing review. ''He was a guy who can make the throws on the foot- ball field,'' Chekwa said. ''He also has that threat of scrambling and running. When we needed a big play in college, he made that play. When we went against him in practice, first-team offense versus first-team defense, we had to spy him, do different things. He makes you have to account for the quarterback run- ning.'' Oakland is now without picks in the second, third and fourth rounds next year. Trask said in response that ''we have a terrific working relationship with the 49ers organization, and we look forward to discussing and addressing this issue with them, in the same collabora- tive and cooperative manner we do all issues.'' The violence overshad- owed the 49ers' 17-3 win over the Raiders. ''This game was like no other that I can remember, and I've been a Niner fan my whole life,'' Police Chief Greg Suhr said. ''Nobody could have been prepared for what happened on Satur- day night.'' Suhr, Mayor Ed Lee and 49ers team officials said DUI checkpoints will be near the stadium after games as authorities will strictly forbid alcohol consumption at that time. They also plan to make police and security more vis- ible inside and outside the stadium and urged fans to be more accountable for their actions. ''To those of you who decide to come to our games, and it really doesn't matter what jersey you may be wearing, or what hat you may wear, or what team you may support, your behavior on Saturday night is not wel- come,'' said Jim Mercurio, the 49ers' vice president of See 49ERS, page 2B 7:15 p.m. 4:05 p.m. 4:30 p.m. Sports 1B Tuesday August 23, 2011 Wilcox Oaks Ladies score again The Wilcox Oaks Team Play members recently par- ticipated in their final match at Shastina Golf Course and came home with the first place trophy for the fourth time in the past four years. Team play is an annual golf tournament with mem- ber teams from Riverview, Tierra Oaks and Gold Hills in Redding, Canyon Oaks in Chico, Wilcox Oaks and Lake Shastina. Each golf club hosts the tournament once during the season when all six teams come together each with a 10-person team selected by the captain and co-captain and compete against one of the opposing teams accord- ing to the schedule. The format is a foursome — two members from Wilcox against two members from their opponent using the best ball of the twosome for scoring. The teams are pared according to handicap. Play was followed by a luncheon and the awarding of the trophy to the Wilcox Ladies – again.
