Dear Coach Pete,
From watching you coach my sister ten years ago to becoming your actual student, you have been one of my longest inspirations in golf. Thank you for cracking me up at every class, being the familiar face that encouraged me to do the Fall High School League, and for believing in me always. I wouldn’t be the golfer I am today without you!
