Participants can register for the 54-hole stroke play tournament by emailing General Manager Brad Parker (brad.parker@bobbyjoneslinks.com). In addition to the funds raised to assist with the foundation’s efforts, the tournament has offered more than $7,500 in prizes to players. The event is open to spectators with food and beverages available for purchase on-site.“We are excited to reach the 10th year of supporting incredible causes through our charity open,” said Brad Parker, PGA, general manager of Patriots Point Links. “Each year we raise more money than the last, and we hope to do it again this milestone year for Bobby Jones Chiari & Syringomyelia Foundation while increasing awareness and advancing knowledge about Chiari, syringomyelia and related disorders.”
