Beach Grove Golf Club’s Brent Derrheim and Jordan Rodda are among the golf professionals who have been participating in the 15th Annual PGA of BC Golfathon for ALS presented by Pacific Blue Cross.

Golfing from sunrise to sunset, they golf as many holes as possible to raise funds and awareness for people living with ALS.

Derrheim and Rodda completed their “marathon” on June 21st, hitting their first tee shots at 5 a.m. and walking off the course at 10 p.m., golfing a total of 200 holes collectively. The highlight of their day was getting to play with members at the club who have lost loved ones to ALS.

It’s about the 10th year Derrheim has participated and he paired up with Rodda the last time the event was held in 2019.

“It’s great. A lot of merit goes to my staff for wanting to take this on and continue to support ALS,” said Derrheim, Beach Grove’s head professional. “The main goal is to create awareness for ALS, whether it’s participating or donating.”
