Kyle McGonigal To Address National Forum

We are thrilled to announce that Kyle McGonigal, 27, son of Mary and Bobby McGonigal of Kendall, NY, has been selected to appear on the dais at the annual convention of the National Down Syndrome Congress this week at Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL.  Among several speakers scheduled for the week-long event, Kyle will address other young adults about "Golf as a Lifetime Fitness Sport," a subject with which he is well acquainted, having played the game since he was a small boy.

Mary says that Kyle is not the least bit intimidated by speaking before a large group and he handles himself with a great deal of confidence.

For the past several years, Kyle has served as training camp locker room attendant for the Buffalo Bills football team, and when his mother observed Kyle interacting with his good buddy, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Terrell "T.O." Owens at the team's training camp last year, she said "It was hard to tell which one had the bigger ego."   Kyle is well regarded by all members of the team.

Kyle also works security each year during induction weekend at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

His brother, Tyler, 28, is also an avid golfer and is supervisor at the Rockland Lake State Park golf course in Rockland County, NY just north of New York City.

Their cousin, Matt Holm, of Elk Grove, CA is a professional golfer and member of the PGA.
