[Yoda]

. . . thanks for your recognition of the men and women who go mostly unnoticed. They truly love the game and are happy to contribute to its growth.

I started playing the Game of Golf when I was 16 years old.

After a couple of years of, shall we charitably say, 'less-than-heralded' performance, I sought professional instruction.

My P.G.A. Professional, George Preisinger, then Head Professional at Marietta CC in Marietta, Georgia, and whose daughter, Carol, is now a Golf Digest Top 100 Instructor, taught me to keep my Left Wrist Flat and Roll through Impact.

For that, I am forever grateful.
