I loved playing in the Pro Ams each day and was thrilled when our team WON Day 1 of the event.  I also conducted a clinic for guests to help all audience members add some distance to all their clubs.  I may have ended with my signature back flip which was a hoot. It was a fabulous event and raised a great deal for such wonderful causes.  Sign me up for next year!
