Stafford, VA – The Middle Atlantic PGA was proud to organize the 1st annual Military Pro-Am, Presented by Lockheed Martin on Monday, July 6th at The Courses at Andrews Air Force Base. The event was able to raise over $30,000 for The Folds of Honor Foundation and the MAPGA Junior Golf Foundation. Aided by generous sponsors, the Middle Atlantic PGA brought together 18 teams with each team consisting of two Active Duty military personnel, one MAPGA Professional, and two sponsors. Each team played a scramble format and had a wonderful day of camaraderie and fellowship, concluding with a dinner and guest speaker Samantha Novack describing the true power of the scholarship she was awarded through the Folds of Honor. The hope is to make this into an annual event and grow the event in every way in 2016.
