Pony was proud to sponsor and participate in the 1st Annual Fairway ror Kids golf tournament. Hosted by Earl Campbell, his son Tyler Campbell, and Josh Ulibarri, recent graduates and players on the San Diego Aztecs football program.
Drafted #1 overall by the Houston Oilers, Texas Longhorn Earl Campbell also know as the
Tyler Rose, was the first professional football player to wear the Pony Chevron on the gridiron. Being awarded the Heisman Trophy in college was only the beginning. He was voted Rookie of the Year as well as the MVP in his very first season in the NFL. Arguably, one of the best running backs ever in the history of the NFL, Earl Campbell was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1991.
The tournament Kick off party was held on Saturday evening with a Silent Auction at the Se Hotel in San Diego. Many notable former, current San Diego and NFL players and were in attendance including Quentin Jammer (Charger and Texas Longhorn ), LaRoi Glover (SDSU Aztec and 6 time pro bowler), Charlie Joiner (Former Charger and Hall of Famer), Marcus Allen (Lincoln High Graduate and Super Bowl winner), just to name a few.
The tournament was held at scenic Coronado Golf Course where Pony handed out shoes to the foursomes. Pony represented well by finishing 2nd in Gross scoring. This was a great event, great cause and fun was had by all. We look forward to this event again next year.
