We have spent many hours over the last year and a half working very hard with the PGA National Resort Staff to make this event even better than our last visit to PGA National in 1992. There has been millions of dollars in renovations to the resort and golf courses. PGA National has hosted the Ryder Cup, PGA Championship, Senior PGA Championship and current host to the PGA Tour's Honda Classic. West Palm Beach and PGA National Resort is the perfect site for such a great event as this one. There is an airport, "Palm Beach National," available to you that is 20 minutes from the host Resort. Additionally, the host hotel and the golf courses are all inclusive. Once you arrive at the resort you do not have to leave the property. The best news is our price. The event will cost $495 in 2012! If you have any question please feel free to call: Todd Nelson – (954) 437-5711 Joe Sorrentino – (954) 445-0229 We look forward to making the 2012 49th US/Canadian Firefighters Golf Tournament one of the best events ever. We’ll see you in September 2012. Contact Tim Hall (Syracuse Firefighters) 315-345-9717 or E-mail hall503@aol.com for more information. The annual U.S. and Canadian Professional Firefighters Golf Tournament was coordinated and founded in 1964 by Montreal,Canada firefighter Mr. Roger LaPierre (3/14/17 - 9/23/91). Since then, several hundred firefighters/golfers have gathered together each September to golf, trade hats, shirts and war stories. Mr. LaPierre’s legacy and the tournament tradition carries on annually and all professional and retired firefighters are welcome. New teams and participants are encouraged to join this annual event.
