MP69 Open Golf Championship at Congressional Country Club, it is impossible not to think about our friend Ken Venturi. Ken overcame many challenges to win the Open at Congressional in 1964 and go on to become
Mizuno JPX 800 the voice of golf for more than three decades.However, Ken faced no bigger obstacle than stuttering. Ken Venturi is a champion to those who stutter, going out of his way to share his personal experience when consulted by a colleague,
Mizuno MP-59 friend, or child who stutters.Ken was the first national spokesman for the Stuttering Foundation nearly two decades ago. As was his way,
R11 Fairway Woods he offered to fill that role for us because his concern for those who stutter was unparalleled. He had corresponded over several years with my father, our founder Malcolm Fraser,
TaylorMade Rossa Ghost Putter and said he wished to do whatever he could to help people who stutter.As he presents the trophy to this year’s winner, I look forward to seeing our friend Ken and hearing his smooth voice once again.
