A LETTER FROM

GARY

I ’ m excited to see our students progress , overcome challenges , and gain more competitive experience this Fall . Several GGGA students have won their division in the tournaments they have played and many had great results finishing in the top three places .
This year , we have started a new tradition at GGGA . We present the “ red hat ” to every student that wins in a tournament . These reds hat signify more than just a win ! It takes a great deal of hard work , dedication , and patience to achieve a win at a tournament . If you happen to notice a student wearing one of our new GGGA red hats , please acknowledge their success !
We have also started another new tradition at GGGA that recognizes a student that has excelled in ways outside of golf . I think it is important to commend a positive attitude and one that exemplifies being a role model to others . To shine some light on these students , we award a student of the week .
I am proud of our GGGA team for mentoring and supporting our students in every way possible . All of our coaches are dedicated in helping every student achieve their goals . Golf is a physically and mentally challenging game that is never predictable .
To me , golf is very similar to life . Adjusting to new changes and developments is key to achieving success . Gaining experience is one of the best ways to learn and build confidence . At times , this process can be challenging for students . It is important to remain patient and refer back to the personal drills and routines that help us remain focused . It is the quickest method to quiet one ’ s mind and play the best shot moving forward .
Thanks for all of your continued support of GGGA !
All the best ,
