A Walk Through Time

GAP is the oldest state or regional golf association in the country. It started courtesy of a friendly competition – the Team Matches – and has grown into the preeminent golf association in the country. Along the way, golf history has been made.


Andy North speaks at Pro-Pres., Golf & Green
at Spring Ford CC

  ROYERSFORD, Pa. - Andy North, a two-time U.S. Open Champion and current ESPN/ABC-TV golf analyst, spoke to a crowd of about 250 Golf Association of Philadelphia members, special guests and press gathered for the Pro-Pres., Golf & Green event on Thursday night at Spring Ford Country Club. Mr. North addressed the crowd on behalf of The Bruce Edwards ALS Research Foundation, Inc., a charity in which he serves on the board.

  Mr. North’s close friend Bruce Edwards, better known for being Tom Watson’s longtime caddie, passed away from ALS, the devastating neuromuscular condition for which there is no known cause or cure, in 2004.

  The Golf Association of Philadelphia, in conjunction with Mr. North’s appearance, conducted a silent auction that included various rounds of golf at a number of the organization’s clubs as well as various autographed sports memorabilia and equipment. More than $13,000 was raised with additional donations soon to follow. All proceeds will be donated directly to the Bruce Edwards Foundation.

taking a question.
  In addition to addressing the devastating effects of ALS, Mr. North spoke for 30 minutes about his life on the PGA Tour; what the remainder of this year’s Majors might hold in store; and answered a number of questions from the attendees.

  The highlight of the evening was an impromptu live auction for a round of golf at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mill, Md., site of an annual fundraiser for the Foundation. A $2,500 donation was secured for that item.

  Parties interested in making a donation to The Bruce Edwards ALS Research Foundation, Inc., can contact Martin Emeno at 610-687-2340, ext. 27.
