Special Olympics New York will return to Glen Oak Golf Course in East Amherst, NY in 2021. In 2020 Glen Oak, the home of the WNYPGA, was named official training center of its Erie Golf Club, providing use of the course, equipment and PGA-certified coaches for the program. The partnership began three years ago when the Western New York PGA had a vision for a local fundraiser to help support and expand the area’s Special Olympics New York golf program. Western New York PGA and their charitable arm PGA REACH WNY have raised $25,000 to benefit the nonprofit in the three years since. To kick off the 2021 SONY golf season, local WNYPGA Professionals are proud to be helping to administer a long dive competition to raise awareness and funds for such a great organization.
