Coach Gladys Lee and team
Congrats to everyone who participated this weekend in the Drive, Chip & Putt Championship held at the Jim McClean Center in Ft . Worth, TX.
Kudos to our very own Kennedi Lee, Kylie Vaughan and New member Kaila McAbee for winning awards and advancing to the next round in the USGA, Masters, PGA Drive, Chip, & Putt Championship. And good luck to everyone who will compete at other sites: July 11 at Hawks Creek and July 12 at The Colony.
A coaches dream is to come across phenomenal young golfers that one day will be recognized around the world for their golfing skills, academic intelligence, outstanding personality, excellent communication skills, articulate; spiritual awareness; charm; and are coachable…. all attributes that are keys to succeed, not only in the wonderful world of golf but in the world period.

As a golf coach, I’v been blessed to coach and instruct many young people in my 30 year tenure, to watch many of them matriculate into college. I’ve learned to recognize exceptional talent and can truthfully claim–without boasting–identifying future stars is one of my best attributes.
