Hello, fellow golfers from my home state of Kentucky. Like so many, we have left our happy place in Fort Myers. I often think about the quiet that must take place when all the snowbirds flock back to their homes. I suspect that may just be when the fun begins.
I am excited to hear details about the KISS events that are happening this year. I enjoy getting to play at other courses near us. This past summer Julie Iverson and Mary Story attended the Fiddlesticks Invitational Event.
When I first became the 9-hole league reporter, the first thing I did was interview Garrett Farmer, who handles our early morning golf outings. I did not know him very well, so I thought maybe others wanted to know more about him too. Someone smartly advised me to keep that to myself until summer. In typical Deb Bates fashion, I can’t find my notes I took with the deadline staring me in the face.
Garrett was born in Virginia, and eventually the family moved to Estero. Like most golfers, someone has to introduce you to the sport of golf. Garrett credits his grandfather for that introduction. He has played since he was young and started competing at a young age. Right now, he is working on completing the Player Ability Test (PAT), where he must demonstrate his playing ability through a 36-hole round within a specific score range. This is only part of a rigorous journey to become a PGA Professional. Garrett is married and this past year became a first-time dad.
Thank you to our May hostesses Donna Hendricks and Lin Muysson.
