FINAL DAYS:
The Broadmoor Golf Club in Colorado Springs, Colorado
Saturday, July 05, 2008 - Sunday, July 06, 2008:
Saturday and Sunday I was a spectator. I walked with Tom Kite and Mark McNulty for a while and also, sat in the bleachers. I particularly enjoyed spending a great deal of time in the locker room talking to the players. I spoke to all of the players I saw. I had lunch on Sunday with Tom Watson, Andy Bean and Mark McNulty. On Saturday, I ate with Constantino Rocca and Scott Hoch.
There are so many more stories I could tell, but I am almost burned out about it.
I will end by again saying thank you to all of you who have been so supportive to Carole and me. Thanks.
What some happy golf students say:
"Don is an amazing teacher. He helped me go from barely even being able to hit the ball to being able to play on weekends with my dad. Golf is now my favorite sport."
- Trevor A.
"Don is great at diagnosing the weak areas in a golfers game. After one chipping lesson with Don my handicap decreased by two strokes in just over a month."
- Chase A.
"I have been in the Jr. Golf Program with Coach Don since I was 5 years old. Coach Don has helped me to be successful on the Jr. PGA Team and in other golf tournaments."
- Axel S.
