Alpha Gamma Delta presents new philanthropy event with off course golfers network
ORANGE, CALIF. (March 26, 2011) – The Delta Tau chapter of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority at Chapman University will be holding a “golf pong” tournament March 26th from 12pm to 6pm, on Chapman’s very own Wilson Football Field. The event, ALPHA GAM TEE OFF, will benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) and the Pediatric Adolescent Diabetes Research and Eduction (PADRE) Foundation.
The event will begin with an inter-greek competition from 12pm to 3pm and will then be open to the public from 3pm to 6pm. Anyone interested in trying their hand at the brand new sport of golf pong or in supporting diabetes research and education is invited to attend the event.
Golf pong was created to combine the well-known sport of golf with the interactive and competitive nature of send and receive, ping pong-like sports to produce a game that is fun for all ages. The Off-Course Golfers Network (OCGN) will be providing the equipment and course design for this first ever full field tournament. What makes this event possible is the almostGOLF ball, a safe lightweight golf ball with tour quality accuracy, created by Robert Peterson, a founder of the OCGN.
