Leave a comment

The Hockomock Area YMCA enjoyed a beautiful fall day of exclusive golf on the world class TPC Boston for its fifth annual Legends Golf Classic yesterday. Under the leadership of New England Patriot Legend and the Hockomock Y’s Legends Chair Pete Brock, New England sports legends were paired with golfers to create a truly unique experience. The Hockomock Area YMCA is proud to continue its partnership with TPC Boston to create this memorable experience. This event paired foursomes with New England sports legends creating a priceless experience for golfers.

The proceeds from the Legends Golf Classic (as well as the annual Legends Ball on November

18th  at Lake Pearl Luciano’s in Wrentham) will provide opportunities for youth and teens with special

needs to participate alongside their typically developing peers through our innovative and unique

Integration Initiative. Established in 2004, more than 700 families have participated in the

Integration Initiative where youth and teens increase independence and physical activity while

improving social skills and build self esteem.
