Yesterday's #GCSAAConference logistics meeting had me daydreaming about jambalaya and live jazz. Plenty to get ready but I'm looking forward to being back in New Orleans! (Found a photo of @GCSAA VP Marc Weston sporting his enthusiasm during site visit.) gcsaaconference.com

Great day at the #AGIC mtgs & annual fundraiser! Enjoyed playing @RTJGolf w/ @RepArrington. My good friend @SfurlongScott served as my caddie, but after consistently handing me the wrong club and a dirty golf ball, he’s off the bag next time! LOL. Great seeing his this team!

100 years ago today, Col. John Morley founded @GCSAA on principles that still guide us today. I often ask myself, “What would John Morley do?” It was never about a place. It was about people. Thank you, John, for laying the foundation. Here’s to the next 100. #GCSAA100 ONWARD!
