FREDDY: Forming Relationships to Expand Diversity and Develop Youth

The FREDDY Initiative is a program designed to give special internship opportunities in the golf industry to individuals that show an interest in golf and would strongly benefit from a mentorship relationship.

Founded in 2020 to honor the legacy of Sean K. “Freddy” Fredrickson, an award winning PGA Golf Professional, Sean set a high bar for his fellow professionals. His belief in providing opportunities for underprivileged youth was second to none. Through his involvement with his home clubs and as a leader in the Oregon Chapter and Pacific Northwest Section PGA, Sean led the charge to bring mentoring to the conversation throughout our association. He personally started the first Mentoring Committee and later assisted in developing the first Mentoring Conference in the nation, as he saw the importance in giving back to others as he benefitted from those before him.

Paul was hired by Sean in January of 2018 for his first Assistant Golf Professional position at Tualatin Country Club and worked with him until Sean moved on to Oswego Lake Country Club the following summer.

Now at Meridian Valley Country Club, a host site of a class of 2021 recipient of the Forever Freddy Scholarship, Paul will be raising money for this foundation.
