The Colorado Sky Sox plan to join Pro Players Association in the organization of our golf tournament in 2014 (postponed due to floods and fires). A major portion of the proceeds will benefit Colorado youth in baseball. The event is to be scheduled and will tentatively take place in the Colorado Springs, CO area.

THE AARON SMITH MEMORIAL TROPHY WILL BE AWARDED TO THE FIRST PLACE TEAM OVERALL. This trophy memorializes the Late Aaron Smith, former Denver Bronco and Charter Executive Board Member of PPA. Aaron was very instrumental in the formation of our 501(c)3. His untimely passing in November 2008, at the age of 48, left an indelible mark on our organization and in our hearts. A special Scholarship Fund to assist with his daughter's college education expenses has been established and will also benefit from this tournament.

Golf Tournament History

 Golf 2012 

PRO PLAYERS ASSOCIATION (PPA) presented an autograph sessions at the 19th Annual Denver Golf Expo, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, February 10, 11, and 12 at the Denver Merchandise Pavilion and Plaza, 451 E. 58th Street, Denver (58th & I-25). The event was slated as the Rocky Mountain Region’s hottest event for the golf industry.

Celebrity members were on hand for autograph sessions held at the Pro Players Association booth #711 over the three days of the event. The autograph sessions included former CU Buff and AFL Colorado Crush and Austin Wranglers Quarterback Bobby Pesavento; Sunday – AFL Hall of Famers Myron Jefferson and Freddie Gayles, and former NY Yankee Brian Fisher. 

The booth was staffed by PPA volunteer celebrity and associate members. Pro Players Association’s objectives were to recruit new members; recruit golfers and sponsors for their annual celebrity charity tournament; interact with golf industry representatives; and to create awareness in the community of PPA’s involvement with golf.

 

Colorado Springs resident Scott Menges was the winner of the Seth Thomas Golf Legends Wall Clock given away in our annual drawing. 

TOURNAMENTS 2012: Unfortunately in 2012, several golf events to which PPA was invited were canceled due to the wildfires in Northern and Southern Colorado.

But in the unfortunate circumstance that it does happen, The Ronald McDonald House provides a “home away from home” for children receiving treatment at Children’s Hospital and for their families. The 19th annual, Ronald McDonald House Golf Tournament was held on Monday, July 18that Hiwan Golf Club in Evergreen. 

Pro Players Association celebrities who participated in the tournament included Colorado Mammoth Tom Ethington and Nick Carlson; former Broncos Jerry Sturm, Ron Egloff; former Green Bay Packer Walter Stanley; Arena League Hall of Famers Myron Jefferson and Freddie Gayles; former CU and Crush Quarterback Bobby Pesavento.
