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,
