"On
behalf of Tucson CREW
(Commercial Real Estate Women), and personally, I want to congratulate
you on the outstanding golf function you organized for our group. To
take a group of 25 green golfers, give them encouragement and
instruction in how to get out on the course in a business or social
environment armed with the do’s and don’ts, have a good time, establish
some business relationships and get invited back again, is quite an
accomplishment. And then to actually take them out on the course and
have them playing, having fun, observing golf etiquette and even making
some shots, is nothing short of remarkable!"

Thank you for creating such a
wonderful and non-threatening way for me to learn more about golf. I
really enjoyed the round of golf and found the after-game talk very
informative. My company had a golf outing yesterday - and while I can't
say that I played anywhere near the level I would like, I felt far more
confident on the course.

Thanks for putting on such a Demystifying Golf
Tournaments - great
event, even though they were soggy, everyone said that they had a great
time and would love to do it again. A few of us also discussed holding
A Night on the Range Event as well. I made sure to check in with all of

mentors and would definitely play again.

"I thought the program was
extremely well done.
I was very impressed that you had some much to offer to us – your
personal experiences, an instructor with us to give us pointers, not
only on the scramble format, but also on our individual skill set and
areas we needed improvement, etc. Thank you!" What did you
like the most? "Being able to play a couple of holes to get a
real hands-on experience. The putting clinic was extremely
helpful as well."
