PHOTOS: CVS Classic Tees Up

Rhode Island Country Club is taking on the look of a professional golf tournament.

Indeed, the 14^th annual CVS Caremark Charity Classic – one of the highlights of the summer in Barrington – tees off with the Pepsi Pro-Am on Father’s Day, June 17.

The Charity Classic then runs two more days, June 18-19.

Barrington’s Brad Faxon is a co-host along with Bristol’s Billy Andrade. They have attracted another outstanding field of men and women golfers who will play 18 holes on Monday and 18 more holes on Tuesday – when they will play a “scramble” format with players having a chance to hit two balls and play the best one.

Of course, the country club was taking on a whole different look on Monday afternoon as workers were assembling a host of structures and stands on the final four holes that overlook Narragansett Bay. A ship was gliding south in the background as they were putting finishing touches on many facilities.
