Dear Joel,
I enjoyed the time we spent together
on Tuesday and am very impressed and intrigued by your
Junior Golf Project. Finally, someone is trying to make
the game of golf fun for kids. The age group that you
have targeted is full of very impressionable children
who will take away a positive experience from your golf
academy. You seem to have found a way to mix quality
golf instruction and education along with a wide variety
of fun activities that all kids will enjoy.
Every year I receive numerous requests
for my mailing list which consists of over 700 junior
golfers, however, I rarely give it out. Many golf camps
and academies around the country are making a killing
off affluent targeted marketing and propaganda. I feel
that your academy is being put together for the reasons
and in the best interest of the children. There are not
many of our youth that should spend their entire day
playing and practicing any sport to the point of frustration
of fatigue. By mixing in other activities you are teaching
them that when the golf round is over they still have
a life.
I will gladly help you in promoting
your academy and in any other way I may be of help to
you in your endeavor. I am interested in meeting with
you in the future to discuss the progress and the future
of your project.
As the Executive Director of the JGA
of Central Florida over the past seven years I have come
across thousands of young people that would benefit from
the experience that you are offering. The best compliment
I could pay you would be that U would not hesitate to
send my sons to your academy.
I am enclosing the mailing list
for the JGA and will continue to work at getting the
mailing lists for the other 12 Jr. Golf Associations
in Florida.
