We invited a friend to create a short player profile and provide us with a photo. As we say, send us a photo and a paragraph and we will publish it.
The objective here is not to highlight only the good players among us but to tell the story of people in our golfing community, young, old, good or poor players. Everyone has a story. In telling these stories, a greater sense of community is created. If you read our mission statement you will find this to be one of our primary objectives at Golf Austin.
