Event Details
The 2023 National Down Syndrome Congress Golf Classic will be held on Monday, April 24, at Bear’s Best Atlanta Golf Course in Suwanee, GA.
We are thrilled and honored to have Amy Bockerstette serving as this year’s Grand Marshal. Amy is the first person with Down syndrome to receive an athletic scholarship to attend college and compete in a national collegiate championship. She won the hearts of the world during a practice round at the 2019 Waste Management Phoenix Open when defending champion Gary Woodland invited her to play the infamous 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale. The video of those magical moments is one of (if not still the top) videos on the PGA Tours YouTube channel with more than 1.9 million views.
Proceeds from the tournament will support outreach and education programs for people with Down syndrome, their families, and the professionals who serve them and provide free printed materials and resources for communities. The 7th annual NDSC Golf Classic will place priority on raising awareness and funds to support the work of the National Down Syndrome Congress around inclusive employment. The National Down Syndrome Congress (NDSC) believes that employment should be an expected life activity for individuals with Down syndrome and that individuals with Down syndrome should have the support necessary to find, keep, and succeed in careers based on their preferences, interests, and strengths.
