Dear Barry,

Today was a very exciting day for me, as I received the PGTAA’s  blessing to proceed with teaching the game of golf with proper credentials I can be proud of. I want to thank you personally for your guidance throughout the course.

I especially want to inform you that as a result of my extensive study throughout the program,  I received an apparently unavoidable and much-welcomed residual aspect which I had not initially given thought to. I’m referring to the  course’s effect on my own golf game.

It seems that I have become “self-instructing” to the point where I have taken a few strokes off my game; specifically due to greater consistency in accuracy and ball-striking — in a nutshell, “a better swing”. So for that, I also thank you.  Tuesday I shot 69 on my par 72 home course.  I finally managed the elusive, “shoot your age” thing. I’m 70yoa.

I plan on keeping in touch with you and the PGTAA and please feel free to use  any of my writings or information in your testimonials. I’m eager to get started and I promise to not let you guys down.

Respectfully yours,

James R. Carpenter, Jr.
