This is an exciting time in the game of golf as the sport is booming on all levels. In recent years, golf was really only growing in competitive golf but since the pandemic hit and people’s interests have changed, golf has become the game of choice for many. In each issue of the magazine, we have goals to inspire junior golfers and educate parents on the process of becoming a great player and more importantly, how to love the game. We think golf is so important for families and wish every family could golf together for a lifetime. As a parent, what more could you want than being able to spend several hours out on the golf course with your kids for a lifetime. We hope you enjoy our June issue.

The team sent Jaclyn notes and pictures and videos (before Facebook or Instagram was a thing) and really kept her spirits high during her treatment.

So where does FCG come into play? Chris, director of FCG, had heard about Friends of Jaclyn and wanted to find a way to help our mission. Chris’ mis- sion is to help young golfers grow and develop their skills, but he wanted to bring another passion of his, helping people, to these young athletes. Chris introduced Friends of Jaclyn to FCG in 2015 when he worked with a coach from Hong Kong to get a boy from California adopted by a local golf team (Fallbrook HS) and the Hong Kong team. This was our first golf team, and our first interna- tional adoption. Chris took his passion and helped to make a difference in the lives of a family hit with devastating news.
