Zakiya Randall Community Golf Event Set for Sept. 15 in Prince George's County, MD, Features Car Giveaway from Chrysler for Hole-in-One
ATLANTA, Aug. 21, 2007 — The Creating Leaders in Sports Foundation announces that Zakiya Randall, fondly known by fans as "Z," will be playing in her native Prince George's County, Maryland in her premier community-sponsored golf event on September 15, 2007. Randall, 16, began golfing at the age of ten and in six short years has grown to dominate her golf demographic, winning more than 45 local and national tournaments.
Randall, by sharing her talent and dedication to excellence with other young people just like her, hopes to encourage her peers to excel in both academics and sports through hard work, commitment and community support. "I invite all golfers and golf fans – especially teens and youth – to join me in Maryland on Sept. 15. You will see firsthand the excitement of youth involvement in golf," said Randall.
Randall, poised to become a dominant player on the LPGA tour, has been featured in EBONY, GolfWeek, Sports Illustrated and African-American Golfers Digest. BlackAthlete Sports Network called her "Golf's Next Phenom," and this year she was a finalist – and youngest nominee – for Amateur of the Year by Atlanta Sports Awards.
Randall invites major corporations, foundations, business owners, professional athletes, celebrities, sports organizations, community groups and individuals to show their support for the community-sponsored golf event and to demonstrate the importance of providing continuous support to talented youth. "This continuous support will ensure that talented youths' dreams turn into reality, and cost does not become a hindrance to achieving greatness. This is an opportunity not to be missed – bring your family and your friends and let 'Z' help you win," commented Randall.
The Chrysler Corporation is a major sponsor of the event and will give away a new automobile to the lucky player who scores a hole-in-one. The event will feature additional prizes and great food. Admission is free for youth ages 10-13; $10 for youth ages 14-17; and $55 for adults.
