Fun Loving Support
As the result of publishing
FGCM for the past
9 years I have had the
pleasure of meeting some pretty
awesome people from all
over the world. I’ve met some
of the most genuine folks right
here in FL. The perfect example
of a charming couple is my friends Dick and Donna Miller. Not only are they
adorable together but also after 37 faithful years of marriage, they still have loads
of fun together and respectfully look out for each other. Dick’s tall, handsome
and with an athletic build, and she’s a stunning, petite lady who is always perfectly
coiffed. Not too shabby for a
couple in there 80’s.
Since their retirement
in 1980 they have been
active members of Tuscawilla
Country Club.
They’re also part of a
group of regular Friday
night cocktailers who
meet at the club and
catch up on the week’s
golf stories. We are all
blessed with their fun
loving up beat attitudes, but on a personal note Dick has always been a loyal
reader, and supporter since our first issue. Dick said, “My favorite part about your magazine is the
|
ads, you have some great advertisements!” I’m sure he also
meant to say my letter, but I’ll let it slide. It makes me proud that a veteran ad
sales dude is so enthusiastic about the ad campaigns and offers we publish.
Thanks to the Millers, our loyal readers, and the support of the team I enlisted
so many years ago. I truly appreciate every one of you.
They say time flies when you’re having fun. Well my life must be hilarious because there is
no way I am the senior member of Terrie’s staff and we are celebrating 9 years of FGCM. One
day I was getting my gold watch from Disney World in 1997 and the next thing you know
Shannon is reminding me to get my April 2008 Live Golf article finished.
FGCM is a magazine about people. People who happen to have a common bond – Golf!
It has been my great privilege to write about golf course maintenance topics and the people
who work mostly in the background to enhance your enjoyment of the game. I hope you have
learned a little what we do on the course and about us as a fraternity of greenkeepers who
respect the environment.
So Terrie, Happy 9th Anniversary and thanks for the opportunity to literally tell “grass
roots” stories to our readers so they can appreciate the issues we face and the work we do on
behalf of Florida’s golfers.
Joel Jackson, CGCS Retired
Executive Director
Florida GCSA
Dear Terrie: Congrats! from someone who was there and helped get the first FGCM edition
rolling. Your persistence, patience and awareness of today’s Florida golfer has delivered a
prized monthly publication golfers and non-golfers can appreciate. Happy 9th anniversary.
All the best,
Ron (Golf is our Game) Heller |
