A Great Warmup Act For Tiger & Co.
We're all looking forward to the return of the PGA Tour to Aronimink in the run-up to the 4th of July, and you can also see some pretty good golf earlier that week when the country's best PGA Professionals hold their national championship at Hershey Country Club.
The 44th PGA Professional National Championship will begin on Sunday, June 26 and wrap up on Wednesday the 29th, the day before the AT&T National begins at Aronimink. The club pros will be playing three rounds on the East Course and one on Hershey West. The really good news is that admission is free. The guys from this region who will be competing: Rich Steinmetz, Stu Ingraham, Mark Sheftic, Greg Farrow, John DiMarco, Terry Hertzog, John Allen, Dave McNabb, John Appleget, John Spina, Bill Walker, Cleve Coldwater, Rob Shuey, and Bill Sautter.
