Despite a substantial 14-year age difference, the couple immediately fell in love and were married.
Although Fred has two stepchildren from his previous marriages, the couple has no children.
Fred lives with Suzanne and her son, Hunter Hanneman, and has no biological children.
Couples and his step-son Hunter will also compete in the 36-hole scramble at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando.
While in Palm Springs, California, last year, the father and step-son team competed against other members.
