Aggressive Golf

Our 2016 Team Aggressive Team Leader Award goes to Ryan Brickley, Head Golf Professional at Rocky River Golf Club in Concord, NC. Ryan and his Assistant, Dave Miller, along with Linda Jochim, Senior Instructor at Leatherman Golf in Charlotte, were the sole three golf profesessionals in the area to step up and offer a full series of FREE golf lessons to Veterans throughout the Greater Charlotte Area. Ryan hosted all of these PGA HOPE events at his course, Rocky River Golf Club in Concord, NC.

PGA HOPE (Helping Our Patriots Everywhere) is a year around golf program for all military Veterans, designed to enhance their rehabilitation and assimilation back into society. The HOPE program provides all Veterans with FREE golf instruction taught by local PGA Professionals.

Thank you, Ryan, a.k.a., Brick House, for stepping up. In spite of all the time pressures of your job, you led the charge, sacrificed your time and gave of yourself to better the lives of some of America's real heroes. The AGC salutes you. Also, a Monster shout out to all our American Veterans everywhere. We are indebted to you and we are free today because of you!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS FOR READING THIS LONG POST. At the airport yesterday early a.m., I had the privilege of seeing aover 4000 troops flying home for the holidays. On my flight, I sat next to Conner, who had been up for almost thirty hours. He is eighteen years old, he was an outstanding scholar, he played three sports in high school, and he grew up with no parents, living only with his older brother. Conner knew he wanted to be in the armed services since he was ten. After returning for more training, he will go to Virginia, then overseas into one of the most hostile war zones in the world. He loves the United States of America, and his motivation has always been to protect and fight for his country. When I told Conner I was honored to meet him, he told me thank you, but that it was an honor to serve his country. I don't know if the Aggressive Golf Company will ever make a dime, but I do know where part of that dime and where part of my time building this company will be spent-Giving back to Conner, to our troops, and to other fellow Americans who pay a huge price by CHOOSING to stand in harm's way for us. I believe I am forever indebted to them, and it is an honor to be in their presence.
