Seek Shade Where You Practice
"It was nice to meet you at the golf tournament in Beaumont. My husband and I commented that a lot of people say they know how important it is to use sunscreen and a hat, but how few actually do it. Having you and your organization out there teaching everyone (especially the kids) is great."
