Eight Australians who all work in the golf industry in the north Texas area conducted the 7th Annual Birdies for Kids Fundraiser on Monday, August 30 at Brook Hollow Golf Club in Dallas. The fundraiser consisted of playing 126 holes with the goal to make as many birdies and eagles as possible.
The Aussies that participated were: Justin Barrick, an assistant professional at The Honors Golf Club of Dallas; Simon Buckle, head professional at Brook Hollow Golf Club in Dallas; Stuart Deane, a teaching professional at Sinclair's Golf Training Center in Euless; Nick Griffin, a teaching professional at L.B. Houston Golf Club in Dallas; Jeremy Langdale, an assistant professional at Green Tree Country Club in Midland; Dean Larsson, an assistant professional at Bent Tree Country Club in Dallas; Cameron McCormick, the director of instruction at Brook Hollow Golf Club in Dallas and Mark Harrison, the director of operations with the Northern Texas PGA.
The eight Texans by way of Australia were able to manage 177 birdies and 6 eagles throughout the day, an average of almost 3.5 birdies per player, per round.
The fundraiser raised $124,311.00 during the day. In seven years the fundraiser has generated $852,164.97 for various children's charities. The Northern Texas PGA Junior Golf Foundation's Golf in Schools program and Children's Medical Center will share the funds this year.
