SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The Five Star Golf Open was held at the South Bend Country Club Monday morning.
Former Notre Dame basketball star LaPhonso Ellis and freshman basketball commit Marcus Burton Jr were featured guests.
Burton shared his story as a Five Star Life student in high school. He's now a future Division I college player.
Ellis talked about how Five Star Life's teachings translate to success beyond the court.
"We talked about just the five principles. Two of them being respect and responsibility. Those things as we can continue to nurture those on the floor become more important than even basketball itself because those things become transferrable through life," Ellis said.
The proceeds from the golf outing go towards helping kids across Michiana stay on the right path and make positive choices in life.
