Honored to Support the 6th Annual African American Golf Expo & Forum

by James Beatty

I am so touched when I receive letter like this:

Jim,

Thank you for being part of the 6th Annual African American Golf Expo & Forum, held in conjunction with the 2026 PGA Show at the Orange County Convention Center. Your presence helped make this year’s gathering one of the most energizing and impactful yet. Patricia and I were proud to sponsor this year’s event and to support a mission that continues to open doors, elevate diverse voices, and expand opportunities across the golf industry.

We deeply value our long-term relationship with organizer Jim Beatty, whose vision and leadership have been instrumental in creating a space where community, education, and business growth come together in such a powerful way. Whether you attended educational sessions, explored new business opportunities, connected with exhibitors, or simply enjoyed the fellowship of our community, your participation added tremendous value.

The conversations we shared in Orlando from January 20–23 remind us that progress in golf happens when we come together with purpose. We hope you left the Expo inspired, better connected, and excited about the future of the game. As we look ahead, we remain committed to supporting initiatives that strengthen representation, nurture emerging talent, and build partnerships that move the industry forward.

Thank you again for investing your time, energy, and passion into this year’s Expo and Forum. Patricia and I are always here if you or someone you know is considering a move or even dreaming about a vacation home here in Central Florida. We look forward to staying connected. With appreciation,

Steve and Patricia Brubaker, Keller Williams Realty At The Lakes
