Adam Devine and Kyle Maloney, assistant golf professionals in Sea Pines Resort, are planning to play 100 holes of golf each on Friday at Heron Point to raise money for the American Diabetes Association.
"My grandfather just passed away earlier this year from complications that come from diabetes," Devine said. "I just thought it would be great if I walked for that cause, and Kyle jumped on the bandwagon."
The pair, who will tee off around 6 a.m., are using HundredHoleHike.com to facilitate pledges. Donors can pledge a set amount or give per hole played. The only rule is the golfers must walk. No carts are allowed for the golfers.
"I think the biggest concern -- and I think we might luck out --is the heat," Maloney said. "I think you've just got to make sure you stay hydrated and keep eating."
The pair hope to raise between $2,000 and $3,000 and have spread the word to their families in Ohio and Florida, as well as Sea Pines members.
"I think it's a pretty good way to use our profession to help out anyway we can," Maloney said.
