Atlantis, FL – Over 60 individuals including sixteen PGA Professionals participated in the 2014 South Florida PGA Foundation Pro-Am presented by Hertz and supported by The Old Collier Golf Club, Tire Kingdom, Fairway & Greene and Heritage Creations. This marked the fifth year that this event has served as a primary fund raiser for the SFPGA Foundation grossing just over $36,000.
The team from West Bay Club comprised of PGA Professional Jeff Raimer and amateurs Tom Welsh, Kathy Hughes and Len Reid fired a 130 (four under par) to capture first place by two strokes. The format for the event was two best balls (one gross one net).
Over the past five years through the support of this event in addition to countless generous donations from private donors and golf facilities the Foundation has grown exponentially, impacting the lives of more than 3,000 since its inception in 2004. This year the Foundation will look to grow once again as they prepare to build their third home for Habitat for Humanity. Along with Habitat for Humanity the SFPGA Juniors Tours are anticipating a record membership year in addition to the Team Golf program which is expected to double in size after just one year of operation.
Proceeds from this event not only benefit the programs listed above but they also support the children’s hospital program “Smiling Fore Life”, charitable gifting and educational scholarships.
