Legend Trail Golf just needs a Matthew to fill out the troops
June 1, 2011
Legend Trail Junior Golf started today with a bunch of HAPPY JUNIOR GOLFERS. We have most of the books in the Bible covered. John (of the John Shawver Got Game Golf Schools-see his Facebook page) joined our interns, Luke and Paul, to teach our Junior Golfers. They spread the word of FUN IN GOLF. We asked the kids to SMILE every time that they hit a good shot, as we don’t always know whether they have hit a good shot or not. I looked through my bible and could not find GREG in there anywhere. So I must either find a Matthew or change my name to Matthew, LOL. So if your Junior Golfer missed the first lesson, don’t worry send them NEXT WEEK and they don’t have to have the name Matthew to join us. Trust ME, Shawv will engage your junior golfer and HELP their golf game immediately.
