As was promised at the beginning of the 2011 PGA TOUR Season, Bridgestone Golfcontributed $100 to Golf 9/12 for every birdie and $200 for every eagle that Love carded from the start of the 2011 PGA Tour season through September 11. Representatives from Bridgestone and Davis Love III made the donation official with a check presentation at this week’s McGladrey Classic on Sea Island.
Golf 9/12 is a new multi-venue, simultaneously played golf initiative intended to 11th the collective spirit of unity that swept through the country the day after 9/11/01 (see www.golf912.org). Golf 9/12 encourages people to take part in a day ofgolf, connected by a live mobile scoring and social networking application, in which $12 will be added to players’ greens fees or collected as donations through the www.golf912.org website to help fund educational programs at the Pentagon Memorial, the 9/11 Memorial and the Flight 93 Memorial. Proceeds also benefit Armed Forces charities, local First Responders charities and Friends of Freedom charities.
“Bridgestone is pleased with Davis’ great play this year and is thrilled to support Golf 9/12 to the tune of over $23,000,” said Dan Murphy, Bridgestone Golf’s Vice President of Marketing. “We also owe a big thank you to fans for cheering on Davis and Bridgestone throughout the season and for getting behind this terrific cause.”
