(PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla.) – PGA Golf Club – the 54-hole, flagship facility of the PGA of America – will host a “Red, White & You” charity golf tournament on Sunday, Nov. 13.
Open to all golfers, the entertaining fundraiser kicks off at 8:30 a.m. with opening ceremonies, followed by a 9 a.m. shotgun start, scramble-format competition (with divisions). A post-event celebration will begin at 2 p.m. Entry is $75 (plus tax) for PGA Golf Club members and active or retired military, and $100 (plus tax) for guests and the general public. Breakfast, lunch, golf and prizes, silent auction, 50/50 contest and raffle are included. All proceeds benefit the Folds of Honor Foundation and PGA REACH, the charitable foundation of the PGA of America.
“PGA Golf Club and The PGA of America are dedicated to improving the lives of our nation’s veterans and their families,” says PGA Senior General Manager Jimmy Terry. “It’s an honor and privilege to host this inspiring event; what better way to thank our heroes than by playing golf for an amazing cause.”
Participants will tee it up on the recently renovated Wanamaker Course. Following an extensive renovation and re-grassing project, the Tom Fazio design vaulted five spots to No. 16 in Golfweek Magazine’s 2016 “Best: State-by-State Courses You Can Play” list. Golfers will also experience PGA Golf Club’s new, 20,000 square-foot clubhouse enhanced and expanded by Tom Hoch Design. The modernized centerpiece includes the touted Taplow Pub, revamped golf shop and “PGA Gallery,” an on-site history museum displaying several notable artifacts including the original Wanamaker trophy.
