BFL x A Walk to Remember

Brian Mackey, the Director of Instruction at North Jersey Country Club, led “A Walk to Remember,” walking and playing 100 holes of golf at his home club, while Mark DeLaura (Crestmont CC) and Nick Bova (Hamilton Farm GC) hosted 100-hole golf marathons at their facilities. Grant Sturgeon (Arcola CC), Bill Hook (Knickerbocker CC), and David Reasoner (The Ridgewood CC) supported the initiative by hosting fundraisers at their respective clubs. Professionals participated in a series of 100-hole golf marathons over Memorial Day Weekend, raising more than $125,000 while paying tribute to fallen heroes and their families. The money raised went to support PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) New Jersey, Folds of Honor Foundation, Golf Fore Veterans, and Backpacks for Life. Mackey himself has said, “I want to thank the North Jersey CC family for leading the charge and inspiring the New Jersey golf community to come together for such a meaningful cause. Likewise, I’m so appreciative of my fellow PGA Professionals and their respective clubs for stepping up and enabling us to make a difference.“
