IMGC (Indian Men’s Golf Club) will tee off its Seattle Pro-Am 2015 at 2 p.m. Aug. 16 at The Golf Club at Redmond Ridge.
The event will feature the 10 top Indian professional golfers who are visiting the United States on an eight-week tour across 18 cities. Local amateurs are invited to play alongside the Indian pros.
The nonprofit IAPGA (Indo-American Professional Golf Association) will help put on the event and proceeds from the event will go to the organization.
“While IAPGA is set up to support self-funded golfers in India to give them exposure to play in the U.S. and help them qualify for PGA, these pros give back to the local communities who support them by giving free golf clinics and organizing pro-am tournaments,” reads a press release. “The tournament will bring the South Asian Indian and American community together and drive cross-culture diversity with the amazing game of golf.”
On Aug. 12, the pros will hold free golf clinics at 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. at Willows Run Golf Complex in Redmond.
On Aug. 15, the pros will offer a free golf clinic, along with chipping and putting contests, at 2 p.m. at The Golf Club at Redmond Ridge.
