Pro-Am Sunday, July 24th followed by the Shawnee Open 10:00am - 5:00pm (shotgun start). Pro-Am PGA Golf Tournament on Monday and Tuesday 9am - 4:30 (tee times) Shawnee Open.

The place is The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort, Fred Waring is on the porch with his Pennsylvanians and the last caddie went out for the day. Jackie Gleason is taking a lesson at The Swing's the Thing Golf School and Arnold Palmer is talking to a beautiful young girl named Winnie that he just met on the front porch of the Inn. Dwight Eisenhower is on the ninth hole still trying to make a treacherous downhill putt and if you can remember this, then yu remember The Shawnee Open, one of the oldest PGA events in the state if not in the country.

The Shawnee Open began in 1912, and since then six U.S Open Champions have won the tournament: Fred McLeod, John McDermott, Walter Hagen, James Barnes, Johnny Farrell, and Lawson Little. Former PGA President Jack Connelly also won the event in 1979. Over ninety golf seasons have come and gone since the first Shawnee Open, but the tournament lives on! The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort is pleased to announce that this year, the Shawnee Open PGA Tournament will be held on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday (July 24, 25, 26). The Gregory Moyer Defibrillator Fund will be this year’s benefiting charity from the Shawnee Open. On Sunday, the Inn will host the Shawnee Pro-Am, followed on Monday and Tuesday by the Shawnee Open. This year boasts a prize purse reaching close to $10,000.00, making this event prominent in the region.

The Shawnee Open will be held at the Shawnee Inn’s signature island course on the Delaware River. Spectators will see professional golfers from the Philadelphia Section of the PGA compete in this classic tournament. Your presence as a spectator will help make this event a huge success, and admission is free!

The Gregory Moyer Defibrillator Fund has touched all of our hearts in particular because Greg was a friend and neighbor of Shawnee. This year's tournament organizers have put together a dedicated campaign and are hoping to raise $2,600.00.

History behind the benefiting charity…

Gregory W. Moyer was a fifteen year-old sophomore playing basketball for Notre Dame High School in East Stroudsburg Pennsylvania on the night he died, December 2, 2000. Notre Dame was playing a game in a brand new, multi-million dollar school. The school did not have a defibrillator and was far removed from emergency medical services. Greg walked off the court at half-time. Two minutes later, he collapsed on the floor of the locker room from cardiac arrest brought on by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. He died shortly thereafter. A nurse from the emergency room urged his devastated parents to do something to make sure other families were spared the tragedy ours had suffered. The nurse suggested starting a fund to buy defibrillators for local schools. Thus, his parents started Greg’s Fund to raise enough money to donate AEDs to the five high schools in Monroe county (Pennsylvania). By the time of Greg’s funeral, enough money had already been donated to purchase seven AEDs. The Shawnee Inn is privileged to be able to collaborate to such a near and dear cause that took their young friend and neighbor almost five years ago.

The Shawnee Inn and Golf Resort's Golf Professional, Joe Manley, confidently says, "We are happy to continue this long tradition with the best playing professionals in the Philadelphia Section PGA competing and also be able to help a great cause with the Pro-Am." Past and current PGA Tour and Senior Tour participants will be playing in the event. Joe Manley and his staff are eager to see new faces in the crowd and encourage spectators to come see some great shot-making by the Pro's!
