TODD HAMILTON
AT THE JOHN DEERE CLASSIC
Coral Springs, FL – June 20th, 2006 – Professional Golf fantasy and charity program, Caddy For A Cure, continues its quest to bring fans one step closer to the professional world of golf and its players while donating to charity. PGA TOUR player Todd Hamilton will have some lucky participant “caddie” for him in the official Tour practice round at this year’s John Deere Classic in Silvis, IL. This Caddy For A Cure opportunity gives golf fans a unique opportunity to get up close and personal, one-on-one, with TOUR players for a day unlike any other in golf.
Program founder and PGA TOUR caddie, Russ Holden, comments, “This year’s Caddy For A Cure program at the John Deere Classic will be especially exciting since Hamilton is basically in his hometown backyard. But as an added bonus, Hamilton has agreed to give the caddie participant his Tour bag to keep after the round. This ‘extra mile’ offered by Hamilton completely embodies the spirit of the Tour and Caddy For A Cure. We’re both organizations looking for ways to give back from a game loved worldwide.”
