| [Aficinado] The weather was beautiful, the course in perfect shape and smiles abounded as a field of amateurs paired up with pro golfers and sports stars for the 15th annual Els For Autism Pro-Am at Old Palm Golf Club in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. It was Monday, December 4, and the event raised $800,000 for charity, specifically funding a state-of-the-art center for helping children with autism in nearby Jupiter. "It was a team effort," said co-host Ernie Els, the namesake of the event, during the awards ceremony which followed the post-round lunch. He thanked the amateurs for their generosity and the pros for donating their time, and said that with this Pro-Am, the combined total raised had been pushed to $18 million since the Pro-Am started. |
