Brantley’s round of a lifetime came on July 12 at Bandon Dunes. It was an unforgettable day filled with perfect weather, incredible views, and memories with his family that will last forever.

The Register family captured some unbelievable content from the experience. Brantley, congratulations on being selected as the 27th recipient of ROAL.

Meet Brantley Register, the 27th recipient of Round of a Lifetime. Brantley’s love for golf began when he was just 5 years old, and through a journey marked by strength and resilience, the game has remained a source of joy.

Born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, Brantley has faced three open-heart surgeries with courage far beyond his years. Brantley and his family recently made a special trip to Bandon Dunes, and we’re grateful to our friends at The HEARTest Yard Foundation for introducing us to Brantley and helping make this connection possible.

Please join us in congratulating Brantley Register
and celebrating this unforgettable chapter in his Round of a Lifetime journey.

As the 26th recipient of a Round of a Lifetime, Andrew Perez experienced a day that lived up to its name.

From the moment he stepped onto the course, everything came together. Perfect weather, incredible scenery, and the chance to share it all with family made the round feel truly special. Andrew described it as a dream, the kind of day every golfer hopes for but rarely gets.

Pasatiempo provided the stage, with its sweeping views and classic design adding to the experience, but this round was about more than the course itself. It was about the moment, the people, and the feeling of being part of something memorable.

For Andrew, being selected as the 26th ROAL recipient was not just an honor, it was a memory that will stay with him long after the final hole.

We’re proud to introduce our 26th Round of a Lifetime recipient, Andrew Perez.

Andrew’s journey with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome began at just days old, leading to multiple life-saving surgeries including the Norwood, Glenn, and Fontan procedures, along with countless hospital visits along the way. Through it all, Andrew has shown what true resilience looks like.

Golf became a meaningful part of Andrew’s life in middle school. It allowed him to compete, connect, and find joy without overtaxing his heart.

Whether volunteering with The HEARTest Yard, celebrating birthdays at Topgolf, or soaking in the atmosphere at the Wells Fargo Championship, Andrew’s love for the game continues to grow.

Now, he’ll take that passion to one of the game’s most iconic venues. Tomorrow (June 6th), Andrew will tee it up at Pasatiempo Golf Club. This is a dream round and a well-earned moment for someone who never stops fighting and always puts others first.

A special thank you to The HEARTest Yard for connecting us with Andrew and for the incredible work you do supporting heart warriors and their families.
Andrew, we can’t wait to watch you take on Passatiempo.

Zach Gotlib, our 25th Round of a Lifetime recipient, spent this past weekend in Hawaii taking in some of the most unforgettable views in golf. From time on the course to time with family, this trip delivered on every level; but one moment stood above the rest.

After being told at 10 years old he couldn’t play sports, golf became an outlet for Zach and a way to connect with his dad. Twenty years later, the two were back on the course together, joined by his wife and their first child on the way.

Just 1.5 years removed from Zach’s last surgery, it was a moment that put everything into perspective.

Another unforgettable Round of a Lifetime.

25 rounds. 25 stories that remind us what really matters. Meet Zach Gotlib, the 25th recipient of Round of a Lifetime. Born with a congenital heart condition, Zach has faced more than most … undergoing multiple open-heart surgeries, including an emergency procedure in November 2024 to treat an aneurysm, endocarditis, and valve failure.

After 13 days in the hospital, he came away with something stronger than ever: perspective. Golf has always been his outlet. When competitive sports weren’t an option, the game became a way to connect with his dad, with himself, and with a sense of calm and competition that never left him.

On May 31st, Zach will tee it up at Kapalua.
This round is a reflection point. A celebration. A moment to take it all in, everything Zach has overcome, and everyone who’s stood beside him along the way. We’re honored to be part of your story, Zach.

Last Friday, May 15th, we gathered at The Woodlands Golf Course for what became our most successful Round of a Lifetime golf outing to date.

With 125 golfers on the course, the day was a powerful reminder of what this community can do together. We were honored to have 7 recipients join us (listed below), bringing the mission full circle in a way that made every swing, every conversation, and every moment more meaningful.

Because of your support, we raised over $20,000; fully funding the next 4 trips and continuing to create once-in-a-lifetime experiences for those who deserve it most.

Thank you to everyone who played, donated, sponsored, and showed up. We keep getting better and we couldn’t do it without you.

Big shoutout to Elyk Studios for capturing all this great content throughout the day.

For Cathal Joyce this past weekend was one for the books, taking on TPC Sawgrass Sawgrass with his brother and friends.

Before teeing off, they toured the PGA TOUR Studios and the Global HQ, getting an inside look at where the magic of the game comes to life. This is where he was presented with a signed THE PLAYERS Championship flag, autographed by his favorite golfer, Tiger Woods.

Per Cathal, “the trip was unbelievable from start to finish. Pulling through the gates at Sawgrass is an experience in itself … that first look at the clubhouse gives you chills. Breakfast on the patio to soak it all in, then off to the practice area to get ready for an unforgettable round.”

The highlight on the course came at the iconic 17th hole, where it only took two attempts to land it on the green. He used a 9 iron if you were wondering.

This was truly a Round of a Lifetime. 🏌️‍♂️💫

We are thrilled to announce the 24th recipient of Round of a Lifetime, Cathal Joyce.

In 2015, Cathal nearly lost his life on the GAA pitch when he suffered sudden cardiac arrest during warm-ups for a semifinal. His brother, who was also the team’s physio, performed CPR and used an AED to save his life.

Six months later, Cathal returned to play, proving that heart and determination can rewrite any odds.

Today, he is a special needs assistant at a primary school and has trained more than 1,000 people in CPR and AED use, spreading a message that is every bit as powerful as his story.

Off the field, Cathal’s passion has shifted to golf. He has dropped his handicap from 17.4 to 8, competing on multiple club teams and chasing improvement with the same drive that brought him back to life.

On Saturday, April 11, Cathal will tee it up at the legendary TPC Sawgrass in Florida, an experience that represents a full-circle moment, honoring the life he fought to reclaim and the meaningful work he has championed ever since.
