PALM BEACH COUNTRY CLUB AND BREAKERS HOTEL FUND PROJECTS

The members of Palm Beach Country Club began supporting our Chapter in 2016 with the establishment of the Bobby Benson Scholarship Fund.  The fund was created to honor the retirement of their longtime golf professional and help fund our outreach programs for 15 years. The Palm Beach Country Club Foundation has also generously funded many capital improvements including new office furniture, a trailer (pictured above) and new turf for our par-3 greens.  Their foundation funded the sod, sand and all materials and employees from the Breakers Hotel golf course maintenance team provided the volunteer labor to strip, shape and re-grass the greens (pictured above).  The project was recently completed.  The Breakers also assists us during the year by aerifying and top dressing and provides many other turf cultivation practices. “Words cannot express our gratitude to the Palm Beach Country Club Foundation and the Breakers,” said Chapter President Bobby Hendel.  “Two chapter directors- David Rudnick, a member of Palm Beach Country Club, and Mark Reid, Director of Golf and Grounds at the Breakers, have worked very hard to help us complete so many needed projects.”
