Mark, I did not know you or of your son Sam until this week here in Augusta, Ga. Congratulations. We all have just learned of Sam´s greatness as a golfer and we also just learned of your greatness as a leader and a father. Sam´s inspiration came from God and from you throughout his upbringing. His great upbringing shown through in his play and his awesome behavior this week here.
