| Turning Stone to host Play Golf Native America Day |
Aug. 24, 2011
Oneida Nation Homelands – The PGA and the Notah
Begay III (NB3) Foundation will be holding a Play Golf
America Day targeting youth and their families. The event will
include a clinic from PGA Tour Professional Notah Begay III,
fitness training from David Donatucci, director of fitness and
performance for The PGA of America, free golf lessons and
clinics from Central New York PGA Professionals, and
presentations on health and nutrition.
The “Play Golf Native America Day” will be hosted at Turning
Stone Resort’s Atunyote Golf Club near Verona, N.Y. on
Monday, Aug. 29 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Registration begins
at 9:30 a.m. The event is free and open to the public.
Golfers, and especially non-golfers, of all ages are invited to
come and experience this opportunity to have fun and enjoy
the sport of golf.
In all, The PGA of America and the NB3 Foundation are
partnering to host three “Play Golf Native America” events in
the fall of 2011. The goal of the partnership is to create more
opportunities for Native Americans to receive culturally
appropriate junior golf programming, access to golf
equipment and golf courses, and fitness and nutrition
programming to help Native American youth and their
families enjoy the sport of golf for a lifetime.
Health and wellness are at the forefront of the partnership as
The PGA and NB3 Foundation look to create awareness and
to help fight childhood obesity and diabetes. The Play Golf
America events, and follow-up PGA-NB3 Foundation
programs, are designed to keep Native American youth
engaged with fitness and nutrition on and off the golf course.
The first event on Aug. 29 is in conjunction with the NB3
Foundation Challenge. That event, on Wednesday Aug. 31
at Atunyote, will feature Begay joined by fellow PGA Tour
players Rickie Fowler, Tiger Woods and Hunter Mahan
participating in a mixed team format alongside LPGA Tour
stars Cristie Kerr, Annika Sorenstam, Suzann Pettersen and
Natalie Gulbis.
The two remaining events will be held in September and
November at other sites as part of National Obesity
Prevention Month and National Native American Heritage
Month at Native American owned golf facilities.
