Fred Funk plays host to second annual Accessible Golf Pro-Am

Fred Funk will host to the second annual Accessible Golf Pro-Am in Toledo, Ohio, July 14. The event will raise funds in support of the National Alliance for Accessible Golf.

"We are thrilled to welcome Fred Funk to our reception and tournament," said Alliance President Trey Holland. "The commitment of our professional players, which includes members of the LPGA and Nationwide Tour, to helping people with disabilities enjoy the game of golf, makes this tournament an inspirational event."

On July 13, attendees can meet Funk and other great players from the LPGA and Nationwide Tour at a reception and auction to be held at the Toledo Country Club. Attend the auction and bid on an opportunity to play in the Pro-Am with Fred Funk the very day.

GCSAA is a founding member of the alliance, and Tim Glorioso, CGCS, is the GCSAA Director of Golf Course Operations at Toledo Country Club

The auction will also feature tickets to some of golf’s most sought after events including the U.S. Open, PGA Championships and Ryder Cup as well as signed memorabilia from golf’s biggest names. Tickets to the reception and playing/sponsorship opportunities are limited. To reserve tickets, please contact the National Alliance for Accessible Golf at http://www.accessgolf.org, 703-234-4122.
