2009 FATHER'S DAY DREAM TRIP WINNER


Gabrielle Lynn
San Antonio, Texas

I am writing this essay for my son, Ryan, age 5. His father, Justin, is teaching him life's biggest lessons. ALWAYS get back up, NEVER compromise your dream! Justin was injured in Iraq and lost his right leg in 2007. Ryan has watched his father recover, rehab, and pickup his clubs again to follow his dream of a PGA license to teach others. They bond weekly on the course. I never knew the impact of this until Ryan said to me one day "I won't give up Mommy cause Daddy never has"!

We'd also like to congratulate the 4 finalists who have each won two TaylorMade and Golf Channel prize packs, one for them and one for their fathers.
