Perseverance is one word to describe Jake. Jake Knapp - Emotional Discussing Late Grandfather “He was the guy I talked to after every single round. S ..read more

 This is the time of the year when your clubs are washed and put away for the season. When you reflect on your season and look forward to the next season.
