What Would You Do For A Dying Friend?

What would you do for a dying friend? Bruce Edwards was caddy for golfing great Tom Watson for 30 years. They were best friends. In 2003, Edwards was diagnosed with ALS. That same year Watson, with Edwards by his side, had a dream round at the U.S. Open. Watson shot 5 under par to grab a share of the first round lead. He used that moment to bring attention to Edward's battle with ALS. That was the last tournament Bruce Edwards caddied. He died 5 months later, at age 49. Watson has kept Bruce's memory alive by raising millions for ALS and doing the ice bucket challenge last year. 

The 18th hole at the First Annual Hope-JG Golf Scramble will be dedicated to Bruce Edwards. Each of the 18 holes that day will be dedicated to a family with ALS. Join us in August 18th at beautiful Va Halla  golf course in Cumberland. To register to play or to sponsor the event, go to: hope-jg.org.
