“We are thrilled to have Brittany on our brand ambassador team,” says Michael Flaskey, Executive Vice President and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Diamond Resorts International®. “She is a world-class golfer, and more importantly, she is a great person with an engaging personality. We could not have selected a better ambassador to host our Events of a Lifetime®. Our members and owners are going to love meeting her and will quickly become lifelong fans.”

As one of Diamond Resorts’ newest ambassadors, Lincicome will attend the Saturday night gala at the Diamond Resorts Invitational benefiting Florida Hospital for Children on January 16, 2016.
