@blackburngolf@ThePGA@greystonegcc @ALNWFL_PGA You deserve this award! You actually deserved it just as much years ago. No one in Golf Instruction knows more, works harder and goes the extra mile like you.
Congratulations Mark!

@gringgolf Ron, Cindy and I were hanging out with your sister here in Alpharetta. She used to work with Cindy. Our 16yr old son Jake is getting very serious about golf and I want to find him a good local instructor. U know anyone? I took lessons from David Glenz in college.
