PGA Charity Wristbands: It was only a matter of time
I'm surprised it took this long, but looks like the PGA has joined the rubber wristband fray with their own tie-dyed version. I don't get this fad, but at least it's raising lots of money for charities.
The PGA Tour Wives Association is selling the wristbands for $1 each to raise money for local and national children's charities.
Amy Fischer, who is married to golfer Todd Fischer and is a member of the wives association, said the group launched the wristband fund-raiser this week. About 80 golfers' wives and girlfriends are members of the group.
"The golfers are wearing them. The caddies are wearing them. They're really taking off," Fischer said.
After this week, the bands will be available online on the PGA Tour's Web site at www.pga.com. They also will be available at the next three PGA tournaments: the Shell Houston Open, the Zurich Classic of New Orleans and the Wachovia Championship in Charlotte.
