“We are excited to see several of our Academies get behind this great event,” states Ted Simons, Executive VP/COO for Nicklaus Academies. “The opportunity to introduce golf to more and more women around the world matches with our efforts to continue to grow the game. Not only will they gain valuable instruction they can utilize the next time they are on the course, each of the participants will have the opportunity to interact with other ladies in a fun learning environment. And to be able to support the Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation through our staff donating their time and the generous support of our host facilities allows each venue to forward meaningful sums to the Foundation.”
