Florida golfers with extra clubs needed for troops

If they can do it in Navada don't you think Florida can do better? We have more veterans here and I'm sure we must have more golfers too.

RENO, Nev. — Officials for the Legends Reno-Tahoe Open and a local insurance company who launched an effort last week to collect new and used golf clubs for U.S. soldiers overseas say they’ve already gathered dozens of full sets.

“The response has been unbelievable,” said Michael Stearns, director of the PGA Tour tournament.

“We have 30 bags with full sets and over 50 sets of irons. We’ve even got two pairs of golf shoes,” he said Thursday.

The tournament is sponsoring the Clubs for Armed Forces program along with KKOH radio and Employers Insurance Co., a Reno-based group of companies providing workers’ compensation insurance and services to small businesses.
