NPW Hosts Annual Charity Golf Event

National Performance Warehouse Companies (NPW) recently hosted its 31st annual Charity Golf Event at Don Shula’s Miami Lakes Golf Course, the company announced, featuring more than 100 players from the automotive industry, as well as professional golfer Erik Compton, who was on hand to offer advice and inspire the teams.

Compton, who is a Miami native with several professional wins, held a clinic before the start of the event to offer guidance to this year’s participants.

Compton has a unique story on his way to his PGA prowess. Having two heart transplants during his life, he has shown and is recognized for his courage and perseverance and was given the PGA TOUR Courage Award in 2013.

Following play, a reception was held at the Miami Lakes Golf Course’s facility and Don Shula’s Steakhouse, which included cocktails, dinner, awards and recognition. Door prizes were presented to everyone who played. The winner was Automotive Products at 14 under par. The event culminated with $6,000.00 pledged to First Tee Miami.

Larry Pacey, the President and CEO of NPW, offered these words: “We are very grateful for the support of all our sponsors who make this event possible, especially during COVID,” said Larry Pacey, president and CEO of NPW. “We certainly know that both our customers and our suppliers create business opportunities here as well as friendships as they spend time outside the normal business process. We are also glad to have the proceeds benefit the ‘The First Tee Miami.’ We look forward to our 32nd event next year and in 2022 we will be in a brand-new facility to better support our customers and have room to grow.”
