There are a lot of big milestones this week, by far, the most somber is the 13-year anniversary of 9/11. Like many others across the country and around the world, we’re taking a moment to remember those who were affected by the tragic events that occurred in 2001, and we celebrate all of those who emerged as heroes.
Earlier
this week (Sept. 10) was golfing legend Arnold Palmer’s 85th
birthday! The PGA TOUR created a wonderful tribute, which you can watch here.
Also
this week, Team McGladrey Member Zach Johnson is in
Atlanta for the TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola. Zach tees off at 12:50 p.m. ET
from tee No. 1 this afternoon (Thurs., Sept. 11). Best of luck, Zach –
we’re pulling for you!
Earlier
this week, Hodnett Cooper featured an article on how St. Simons Island is
gearing up for the fifth McGladrey
Classic. The relaxed atmosphere of the island and some of the PGA TOUR
players who call St
Simons home were highlighted. Below is an excerpt from the article, which can
be read in its entirety here.
St. Simons Island will again be pleased to have The McGladrey Classic and all the excitement it
brings. We’ll be riding our bikes to the course and cheering for the locals.
Then we’ll watch it all again on television, through the technicolor lens of
The Golf Channel. And like Davis Love III himself, we’ll take it all in stride
with the quiet confidence that we’ve been lucky enough to discover one of the
most magical places on Earth. And we’re able to call it “home.”
And
speaking of The McGldadrey Classic, we are 38 days away from sharing the beauty
of Sea Island throughout this year’s tournament - with those who visit in
person and those who tune in to the Golf Channel (Thurs., Oct. 23 through Sun.,
Oct. 26). Want to catch the beauty of the island first-hand? Check out the
complete schedule
of events.
Check
back next week for more updates on Team
McGladrey and the 2014 McGladrey Classic.
