Parrish Headlines Folds of Honor Friday Elevated Event at Omni Bedford Springs
The Amateur Players Tour hosted a special one-day Folds of Honor Friday Elevated Event at the historic Omni Bedford Springs Old Course in Bedford, Pennsylvania. Nestled in a picturesque valley and surrounded by the resort’s iconic hotel, the Old Course is a classic design shaped by legends Donald Ross, A.W. Tillinghast, and Spencer Oldham, delivering a traditional layout that rewards precision and shot-making. Players were met with immaculate conditions throughout the day, adding to the championship feel of one of the most storied venues on the APT schedule.
This event also carried a deeper purpose, as part of APT’s continued partnership with Folds of Honor. Through events like this, APT members have now helped raise over $250,000 in support of educational scholarships for the families of fallen and disabled military members.
