Wanted to share an email we received last week from one of our recent students.

You want to know Why We Do What We Do… PERFECT example…

Good evening gentlemen,

Tim – it was really great to meet you in Orlando last week.  Thanks for stopping by to say hello to our group. 

The reason I am writing is to give a heartfelt thank you to James, Clay, Paul and Parker for their support and instruction last week in Orlando.  I had attended 3 day before and was confident I would learn a ton, and I sure did.  That was amazing! 

For me though the highlight was the to share the experience with my 80 year old dad, Joe Peterson.  I hadn’t gotten the chance to spend one on one time with him in quite a while and this gave us a great bonding experience.  Joe has enjoyed playing golf with hand-me-down clubs for years but didn’t know what he was capable of accomplishing.

He absolutely loved this three day school! Each night after we got home we would eat dinner then head to the putting/chipping green to go over what we learned that day.  He would study his notes before we went out and then we would go over the fundamentals and checkpoints together. This would arm him with some questions for the instructor team the next day. 

He was and still is enthusiastic about getting back on the course to enjoy golf again. Watching his progress through the coaching of your incredible team was one of the highlights of my week.  When he started working with the demo driver on the range and blasted several dead straight bombs, he was shocked and thrilled. 

James, when you cheered for him after that it really made his day! He didn’t stop talking about your reaction on the way home, and then again over dinner with my mom.

So a huge, heartfelt thank you! Your team of coaches are amazing coaches/instructors and even more amazing human beings! Their patience and camaraderie with Joe made this an incredible experience I’m sure he will remember for the rest of his life!

Thank you again and hope to see you at school again in the future!
