As the Fall season slowly slips away, many area golfers are trying to get in many rounds of their sport before putting up the clubs for a couple of months. Meanwhile, a small group of individuals are constantly brainstorming on the details of hosting its first charity golf scramble that would benefit the local Kentuckiana community.

"We are putting together a different kind of golf scramble that will reach more charities than originally anticipated, mainly because of the great support of area businesses that have come on-board to help make everything a reality", says G.L. Giddings, Chairman and CEO of GLG and Associates, LLP, an affiliate and specialty marketing company, located in Louisville, KY. "Almost everyone I know has been affected by cancer in some way shape and form. In the last four years, I lost my grandmother, my mother on August 15th, and my sister over two years ago. My fiancee', Catrina, is currently in remission with cervical cancer. Raising the funds to help combat this disease by putting on a golf scamble has become very personal to me."

The scramble isn't scheduled to tee off until August 15, 2011, the first anniversary of Joan O. Giddings , G.L.'s mother,  passing from uterine cancer. "If she were here, I know she'd be proud that we were out doing our part to help combat this disease. The fight has to keep going till there is a cure for ALL forms of cancer. However long it takes is what we'll deal with", he says This isn't a SPRINT, but a MARATHON, and The PGO® will be here hosting this tournament and giving back for many years to come!"
