Bothell Mayor Mark Lamb and Deputy Mayor Joshua Freed will be playing in the 2012 Els for Autism Golf Challenge on Aug. 15 at Chambers Bay in University Place.

Recent British Open victor Ernie Els has a son with autism; Lamb’s daughter also has autism.

The Lamb-Freed Team is hoping to raise $10,000 to help those with autism and their families.
