The North American Pro Golf Tour in conjunction with Captains Golf Course in Brewster, MA will host a pro-am on September 4, 2007 at 8 a.m. Proceeds of this event will benefit the Lower Cape Outreach Council, a local cape charity that has provided food, clothing, and financial assistance to area residents for over 25 years.

For the past 14 years Captains Golf Course has hosted this pro-am for this cause. “[The LCOC] is a charity that influences a lot of people in our immediate area so we have very close ties with [them],” said Mark O’Brien, Director of Golf at Captains Golf Course.

The club and its members look forward to this event every year, not only because they get to help local families in need, but also because of the NAPGT. “This [event] is so special because our members enjoy it so much,” said O’Brien. “They get the opportunity to play with the pros. They’re not used to being able to play with players of that ability so that’s a highlight of the year for a lot of people.”

Previous year’s pro-ams at Captains have been successful, and O’Brien has high hopes for September 4 as well. “We pretty much filled the field in the past few years so we would hope to do that again,” he said. “We’d also like to raise in the $13-15,000 range for the charity.”

Because the NAPGT has teamed up with Captains Golf Course in the past hopefully these goals will be realized. “It’s been a great partnership for us,” said O’Brien. “They’re very professional in the way they run their tournaments and basically we just hand the course over to them and they do all the work.”
