Rad Golf Fest

Rad Golf Fest Rad Golf Fest is an annual memorial golf tournament and festival that will bring people together to celebrate Tony Laughlin.

Non traditional Golf Outing mixed with Caddy Shack, Happy Gilmore, RAD, and Exciting Competition for all On May 16th 2021, Tony Laughlin was traveling to a golf training facility in Miami when he was involved in a fatal car accident. Tony was a loving father, husband, son, brother, and friend. He danced through life spreading positivity, encouraging others to follow their dreams, and pouring love

into anyone who crossed his path. One of Tony’s favorite pastimes was golf, from teaching at the Glen Club, to his time at Motus Global and Dragonfly Golf, Tony made a career doing what he loved. To celebrate Tony’s life, and legacy in the game of golf we will be hosting an Annual Memorial Golf Tournament that will bring people together to celebrate life the way Tony did, with friends, family, golf, good food and drinks, live music, and contests to make it interesting. The Tony Laughlin Memorial Fund Rad Golf Fest will provide a one of a kind experience for attendees while raising funds to benefit a charity Tony supported, Embracing Our Differences.

Back again in 2026 ⛳️🏃‍♂️💨 4 golfers. 1 ball. Pure chaos.

The Team Speed Relay is a race against the clock — hit, run, swing, repeat until the ball is in the hole.

Fastest team wins a custom JB wedge set.

Think your crew can handle it? 👀

Tony Laughlin grew up in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The middle of three brothers. A family where work was honest, love was loud, and community was centered around sports.

He became a published biomechanist, golf instructor at The Glen Club, sports scientist at ASMI and IMG Academy, and Director of Sports Science at Guided Knowledge.

On May 16, 2021, Tony was driving from Sarasota to Miami to pitch a new golf sensor product to an investor. He was on the phone with his parents when a pickup truck blew a tire on Alligator Alley, crossed the median, and hit him head on. He died at the scene. 37 years old. He left behind his wife Britnee, their three-year-old daughter Aria, and a community of family and friends.

Five years later today, we’re more inspired than ever to make an impact, elevate life, and stay RAD.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Rad moms out there 😎💕

Special love to the Laughlin moms (Marianne, Britnee, Stefanie, Brittany), our Aiyash momma (Kerry), and the sisterhood of traveling aunts who were our second moms (Aunt Laura, Anita, and Jill). You held us together when things got heavy and cheered the loudest when they got rad.

We wouldn’t be here without you. Simple as that.
Happy Mother’s Day! 💜
