Denver, CO – The Jack Nicklaus Academy of Golf in Orlando, FL is donating one of its popular VIP Golf Schools at the upcoming Patriot’s Cup, being held at the Patriot Golf Club in Owasso, OK, benefiting the Folds of Honor. Folds of Honor, a non-profit organization, provides educational scholarships to dependents of fallen and disabled servicemen and women. Nicklaus Academies, in conjunction with TeeItUp Enterprises, LLC, a new entry into high-performance golf and sport simulation solutions, will award a VIP Golf School to a winner from one of the contests being held on the state-of-the-art TIU Golf Simulator during the tournament. All proceeds from the TeeItUp contest entries will be donated to the Folds of Honor Scholarship Fund.
The Patriot Cup is an annual golf tournament and gala hosted by the Patriot Golf Club on May 27, 28 and 29. This Memorial Day weekend celebration ends with a salute to our troops with the likes of PGA Tour and Champion’s Tour Professionals coming together with celebrities, donors, and military players.
“This is such a great opportunity and an honor to be associated with the Folds of Honor,” stated Brian O’Neill, Director of Instruction at the Nicklaus Academy Orlando. “A big focus of our Academy is directed at developing junior golfers both on and off the course. This donation ties in perfectly with the Folds and their tireless efforts to provide scholarship opportunities to these dependents. Our popular VIP Golf Schools include a Jack Nicklaus Driving School and a Golden Bear Scoring Session. I am sure the winners will have a great time – and will leave with a better game!”
