WHO: My father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease when I was five years old.  Although I was naïve to what this meant, it did not take long before I grew frustrated with the disease and what it was doing to my father.  Out of these frustrations, I turned to golf. Golf became my catharsis and best friend. It is a game which has taught me humility and love, passion and patience; lessons I had to learn to be able to cope at home.  It is my wish, that through this game I love, I can give back to a man I love.  This Parkinson’s disease Charity Golf Tournament will be my attempt to give back by means of a game which has given so much to me. Thank you. Eric Kaplan
