The PGA of America is an evolving fabric of dreams, built in the soil of green-grass professionals and stitched together by vision, hope, and belief. That same soil gave birth to Larry Kelley’s career. His mentorship led me to receive five section awards and to advance to the national stage. I trusted Larry with my dreams, and so should the PGA of America.
