PGA PROFESSIONALSGOLF ON JULY 18 WITHFORT CARSON SOLDIERS

Excerpts from letter to Colorado PGA Members fromEddie Ainsworth, PGA, Executive Director/CEO

We can never do enough for our Soldiers, Sailors,Airmen and Marines for their sacrifices. We as PGAProfessionals can bring so much joy to these indi-viduals by just playing a simple round of golf withthem and saying thanks. That is why Wednesday,July 18, 11:30am-6pm, at Fort Carson we honor our troops. The Fort Carson event at Chey-enne Shadows Golf Course cost PGA Professionals absolutely nothing but a little time. It isnot too much to ask to give a little time to someone who is willing to lay down their life forus! People that make a positive difference in the lives of others are my heroes. This not onlyincludes the men and women who wear our country's uniform, it also includes our manyColorado PGA Professionals who are doing great things across our Section to make a posi-tive difference.

Special thanks to supporting partner Golden Corral of Colorado Springs forproviding lunch for the soldiers, July 18.
