Hi Brian, We were very pleased to participate in our third PARS tournament. The PGA Golf Club is an outstanding location, providing a challenging course and unsurpassed practice facilities. We look forward to participating in PARS next year at the PGA. I wanted to confirm that Hank will be participating in the 2008 Callaway Junior World Tournament as the winner of the 13-14 age division at PARS. Please let us know how to go about getting that exemption. Thank you again for an outstanding tournament experience. Most sincerely, Virginia W. Lebioda
Hi Brian,
Yesterday I spoke with my wife's
nephew, Dor Haham, and he had a wonderful time playing in your

impressed and excited about his experience.
Yours truly,

Hello Brian,
Happy new year! I hope you had a good rest after a loooong
week. i must tell you Alana, Larry, and I were so impressed with the
tournament and the workings of the group. I was very impressed with
your positivity, ability to contact all the participants (even with a
funny computer), and professionalism. I could see the camaraderie
amongst the players and the attentiveness of all the working staff. it
was nice to speak to some of the officials and how excited they were
to see these kids really love the sport. I was speaking to a Mr.
Zimmerman and he told me he had to bring his friend to watch how these
kids can REALLY play! It made me feel good as a parent, that someone
else besides myself enjoys watching their child play.
We are looking forward to the 13th annual Pars tournament...get
your pencil sharpened!
Thank you in advance,
Nancy Friedlander
Dear Brian
We wish to congratulate PARS Junior
Golf on yet another well run tournament!!
As always, your choice of top notch
golf courses extended the junior players and tapped their potential to
the fullest.
The wide international field provided
an opportunity for players as well as parents to make new
friends and renew acquaintances. It was a valuable experience for
both our children, Monifa and Mandela, to add to their budding golfing
career.
We wish PARS every success in the
future.
Thanks again for a great tournament.

Hey Brian: Well I bet you are resting after the tournament. I know we are. The Dillon’s (Brooke – 9 year old girls division) did not get a chance to tell you how much we enjoyed your tournament. We missed the banquet dinner because we had to hurry home to catch the last of our oldest daughter’s varsity basketball tournament. I did want to e-mail you though and tell you that we had a great time and the tournament was one of the best we have participated in. We will spread the word to our Louisiana gang for sure and hopefully bring a few more Cajuns to the tournament next year. We really enjoyed meeting you and Brooke made so many new friends we can’t wait to play again next year. If there are any other tournaments you would recommend I would be interested in hearing about them. We are always looking for new adventures. If PARS has any other ones she can participate in as well please let us know. Well thanks again for a great experience over our X-mas break!!! Take Care: Mark, Kelly and Brooke Dillon

Hi Brian,
Brian,
Just wanted to say thank you for all your efforts in running the
championship this past week. I know there is a lot of work involved
and we all appreciate you and your staff's efforts in putting
everything together. I hope you felt things went well on your end as
well.
My son (Justin) finished second in the boys 15-18, and we are not
really clear on how the exemptions work. If you could provide any
information we would appreciate it.
Again, thanks for all your efforts, happy new year to you, look
forward to our return next year.
Thank you,
Mike J. Thomas PGA Master Professional Harmony Landing CC 13201 Reading Road Goshen, KY 40026 Mthomas908@aol.com
Brian,

DEAR MR. ROUS, HOW ARE YOU?
IT'S ALWAYS MY GREAT PLEASURE TO MEET YOU OR READ YOUR MAIL. YOUR
EVENT IS OUR HOLIDAY TRADITION. JASON WILL ALSO ATTEND THE AWARD
DINNER, BUT WE MIGHT HAVE OTHER THINGS TO DO DURING THAT TIME.
PLEASE SAY HI TO YOUR WIFE. WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU, MR. ROUS.
HAVE A GREAT DAY,
BEST,
JEFF ZHOU Shingle Creek 2007 Dear Brian We wish to express our thanks once again for a well organized tournament. The accommodation was excellent and the course provided great challenges for the juniors. The exposure was invaluable for Mandela and Monifa. We were disappointed of course with Monifa’s final day performance, but it was perhaps not surprising as she had a very rough year as a member of both the junior and senior national golf teams in T&T, the highlight being the World Amateur Team Championships in Cape Town South Africa. She had also done very well at Doral 2006 being in 2nd place on the leaderboard on Day 1 and finishing 6th with 72-78-74. We are continuing to work on Monifa’s short game. As you may have noticed this is the weakpoint in her game. We did the three- day Scoring School at Dave Peltz but it appears that the programme is not tailored towards juniors. She still needs further work and we shall be grateful for your advice on any good short game clinic for juniors. Re the Junior World Championships in California, we checked the Website as you recommended and propose to register both children when registration opens on Feb 1st . We will really like this exposure for Monifa in particular and would appreciate any assistance you could provide in this regard so that T&T could be one of the countries represented on that world stage. Congratulations once more to PARSGOLF for its major role in junior golf and we wish you every success in the future as you grow from strength to strength!! Best Regards Hey Brian, Wanted to let you know that I spoke to Larry Keil, PGA. The Head Pro at Turtle Bay resort. I told him that you were interested in having a tournament out there. He they believe in supporting the kids and will be glad to talk to you about negotiating something. Here’s his info: Mahalo, Melissa Dear Brian: Hi Bryan, This year’s event surpassed our previous experiences, and deserves acknowledgement. Well organized and well run, PARS offers great competition for junior golfers. Even the golf course staff commented on your attention to details, and strict enforcement of USGA rules. Thank you for the outstanding accommodations provided at the Rosen Hotel at Shingle Creek. We enjoyed our stay quite comfortably. Although a challenge, Hank found the Shingle Creek golf course in great shape. He enjoyed the level of play from his opponents, as it focused his desire to achieve We are very proud of his accomplishment, but have questions regarding the exemptions given. Hank will turn 13 on January 14th of 2007. Please clarify my understanding of the exemptions, and tell me how to apply them to eligible tournaments. Would the exemptions offered by winning PARS be available to Hank if those tournaments have age cut-offs at 12-13, but that those with age cut-offs at 13-14 would be ineligible? We are new to this type of policy and request some guidance if possible. I truly appreciate the gracious care you extended our family. I look forward to hearing from you regarding the exemptions, and welcome further correspondence. Most sincerely, Virginia W. Lebioda 2005 Orange County National We would like to share a few of the remarks from the players parents. We thank each and every one of you for participating and we look forward to seeing you in our upcoming events. Brian Doug Ritter Florida Dear Brian, Our sons Yannick & Xavier who attended their second PARS tournament are already asking when and where the Xmas 2006 tournament will take place. They enjoyed themselves very much playing golf on such a great place and meeting with many other players of all around the world. Beside the competition, they get the opportunity to create networking and learn what diversity means. During the next 2 months, we’ll help Yannick to look at Universities in the USA and select 3-5. Then, we shall contact you. Once again, many thanks. We’ll see you next year. Best regards to you and Phillys. The Schuwey’s Dear Brian It was a wonderful tournament. Of course even more so, as the Swiss gang Dear Brian We must say that the Trinidad contingent was very pleased with the organization of the tournament at OCN, in particular the high standards and discipline required of the players. We noted with satisfaction the way in which Phyllis promptly pulled up players when they fell short on etiquette etc. It is important for juniors to realize that the soft side of golf is just as critical as raw skills, since this helps to prepare them for the real world. The caliber of the slate of players also provided great exposure for our juniors and gave them a firsthand view of the level and standards they must achieve to compete internationally. Our juniors have been greatly inspired and motivated since OCN. They have also developed a network of international friends. We would therefore like to express our sincere appreciation to you Brian and all PARS personnel who contributed to the OCN Tournament, which we consider to be a resounding success. We look forward to participating in the next PARS event. Best regards Brian, I am so impressed not only with the way I heard you run a tournament, Anyway, Jaime received a women's trophy, so I think we are ok there. Sincerely, Brian, |
