In our family we make an effort to spend some time, perhaps just a few minutes to explain the purpose of the individual holidays and the accompanying celebrations. Giving some depth and meaning to these important events gives your junior golfer some substance to grasp the significance of what’s going on.

If you are inclined to do this, it’s helpful to take a couple of minutes to think about what you are going to say and right before you serve the hot dogs and hamburgers is a great time, because you really have everybody’s full attention!

While our words change a little bit from year to year, we always encourage our kids to have sincere gratitude and appreciation for being able to live in a country where they can pursue their dreams, including the dream of playing junior golf, perhaps college golf and maybe even professional golf. We live in a special place and it deserves our respect and thankfulness.

Happy Birthday America! ‘Enjoy your 4th!

 

See you on #1 tee thankful to be there… Sam

It’s Memorial Day, a day where we remember those who have given their lives so that we might have and enjoy all the wonderful things in America.

When you see someone in uniform, thank him/her for their service. Take a moment to give appreciate, respect and give thanks for the blessings you and your family have.

If you play golf or go to the driving range, take a look around and try to grasp the sacrifices of all those who have made possible for so many of us, including our junior golfers, to pursue our dreams.

Enjoy your day. Please help your kids understand what this day, a very difficult and sad day for the families of those who have given their all, is genuinely about.

See you on #1 tee showing an attitude of respect and gratitude… Sam
