"Bobby G" was a kind and generous PGA golf professional. He was my son's golf instructor and Bobby's efforts live on in my boy's beautiful swing. I remember the many evenings at the Practice Tee in Tucson, the weekends at Silverbell and the many enjoyable hours Erin and I spent with this good man, working on our swings and enjoying the warm summer evenings hitting buckets and chipping around the greens under Bobby's watchful eye. Bobby's legacy lives on in the many lives he touched with a kind word, in sharing the pleasure of golf practice and in providing an example of what hard work, self-determination and patience can accomplish in a man. God Bless Bobby and his family.
