About Baltusrol
The Upper and Lower Courses were designed by Albert
W. Tillinghast, the
talented builder and architect who was one of the first
to articulate the
modern golf course design.
The Lower Course has hosted
16 professional
tournaments including the PGA Championship.
Consistently ranked among the best courses in the United
States and
the world, Baltusrol’s Lower Course runs 7,015
yards from the blue tees and
is a par 72 with a course rating of 74.5 and a slope
rating of 140.
Proceeds of the event
to support both Ireland’s
and our greatest
resource, its young people—the next generation.
With your
support, we will equip
Ireland’s youth to build a better and more inclusive society,
particularly in Northern
Ireland where research shows children as young as three years of
age displaying
sectarian attitudes. That is why The American Ireland Fund is a
major backer of the
Integrated Education movement since 1980.
Integrated Education
Peace has been achieved in
Northern Ireland
but the two communities have yet to be reconciled. With less than
6% of Catholic
and Protestant children being educated together, there is the danger
that the
prejudices of the past will be inherited by the next generation.
We have a rare
opportunity to make a concrete contribution to the betterment of
society in this
troubled area of the world by supporting major educational initiatives
bringing
young people together to build a new Northern Ireland based on
acceptance and
mutual respect.
