The National Kidney Foundation will hold its annual NKF Golf Classic at Valley Brook Country Club in McMurray, PA on Monday, May 15. The tournament is one in a series of over 30 amateur golf tournaments across the country.
The NKF Golf Classic is the only charity golf tournament that invites the top five local finishing teams to compete at the Pebble Beach Resorts.
“We love the idea of combining the beloved game of golf with the ability to save lives while playing it,” said Tom Ali, CEO of TRIAD Engineering & Golf Committee Chairman.
Amateur golfers, both male and female, can participate as part of four-person teams. The scramble tournament is open to all golfers and includes two divisions: Handicap Index and Gross. The Handicap Index Division is comprised of golfers whose combined USGA Handicap Index is 42.0 or more, with only one golfer on each team having a USGA Handicap Index of 8.0 or less. Gross Division golfers do not require handicap indexes.
The top five finishing teams will be invited to show off their skills at the Pebble Beach Golf Links, The Links at Spanish Bay and Spyglass Hill Golf Course in January 12-15, 2018. The NKF Golf Classic is supported by its national corporate partner, One Car One Difference. Golfers will also vie for prizes donated by and national promotional partners including PING, Golf Digest, Sketchers, The Greg Norman Collection, CBRE and Tiffany & Co.
