“Given Braemar Golf Course’s longstanding support of adaptive golf programming through its 40-year partnership with the Sister Kenny Institute, when the Minnesota Golf Association requested the City of Edina and Braemar being their partner in hosting the first-ever Minnesota Adaptive Open this coming fall, we embraced the invitation with grand enthusiasm,” said James Hovland, Mayor of Edina.
