Temple Golfer Anthony Barr Chips In During the Pandemic

When sports came to a sudden halt in March of 2020, it was not just the athletes this affected. All throughout the country, athletic support staff ranging from water boys, concession staff, and caddies were finding themselves without a job.

In the Philadelphia region a group of country club members saw an opportunity to provide work to those affected, while also addressing one of the largest shortcomings of the pandemic: testing supplies.

The Golf Association of Philadelphia along with the assistance and leadership of members such as Mark Bartosh and Daniel Gerrity established Dyad Enterprises, a company that over the course of the pandemic has produced over 15,000 testing kits daily.
