SDGA Golf School Teams Up with Special Olympics

San Diego Golf Academy’s golf school of the Carolinas donates staff and students to the cause of the Special Olympics. With the help of SDGA-Myrtle Beach, South Carolina’s Special Olympics Golf Tournament takes place in August of every year.

[ClickPress, Mon Nov 06 2006] San Diego Golf Academy is a golf school with heart, as evidenced by the efforts of SDGA-Myrtle Beach's staff and students to help put on South Carolina's Special Olympics Golf Tournament every August.

“I have organized, planned, and served as a Rules Official in many Special Olympics golf events, such as the Special Olympics National Invitation Golf Tournament and the Special Olympics/PGA Pro-Am Golf Tournament,” said Eric Wilson, Director of SDGA-Myrtle Beach and Chairman of the Special Olympics International Golf Committee. “I am proud to be able to use my position and expertise to help Special Olympics South Carolina.”

Special Olympics South Carolina is dedicated to providing athletic opportunities for individuals with mental retardation. Children and adults alike participate in sports training and competition through the organization. One of these competitions is the annual Special Olympics/PGA Pro-Am Golf Tournament, first conceived by Eric Wilson, Director of SDGA-Myrtle Beach. Wilson has a distinguished history of involvement with the Special Olympics: he has been Chairman of the Special Olympics International Golf Committee for the past seven years, planned and participated as a Rules Official in the Special Olympics National Invitation Golf Tournament, and came up with the idea for the Special Olympics/PGA Pro-Am Golf Tournament.

SDGA golf schools provide students with the education and resources necessary for successful golf careers. With five golf schools and more than 30 years of experience in golf education, San Diego Golf Academy has a long-standing reputation for helping students find the golf jobs of their dreams. An important resource offered to SDGA students is GolFutures, the SDGA-owned golf employment company that successfully places more than 85% of the school's graduates in golf jobs. Thanks to SDGA-Myrtle Beach's relationship with Special Olympics South Carolina, enrollment in this golf school also means the chance for invaluable life experiences!
