Dear Mr. Glavin,
My name is Jeffrey Savage. This summer, I qualified for and played at the Optimist, and it was truly an amazing experience.
The qualifying event was held at Heatherwoode Golf Club and the competition was fierce. I had to win in a playoff to qualify, and it was the most nerve wracking 2 holes of golf that I have ever played. Overall, I think the qualifying event was a good preparation for the real tournament and I am excited to play in the qualifier again next year!
Trump National Doral is one of the most well-known golf resorts in the country, and I really enjoyed staying at the resort and playing the Blue Monster. As soon as we got there, the bellman took our bags and we went into the resort. My first thought upon walking in was, "Wow, this place is amazing!" We stayed in the Phil Mickelson Lodge. Our room was very nice, it was spacious and comfortable. I was able to make some friends from all around the world: from right there in Florida, to Texas, Ecuador and China. I think the tournament did a great job of bringing all of the contestants together so that we could meet one another. I especially liked the trivia night and the pool, and the water slide was really cool too. Overall, I didn't play my best in the tournament, but it was a great learning experience. I came back home more focused and ready to practice. It was amazing being there and playing against some of the best golfers in the world.
Thank you for all that you do for the Optimist!
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Savage
