  • Spring 2021 Dear Friends, 2020 Was a Challenging and Uncertain Time To
    Spring 2021 Dear Friends, 2020 was a challenging and uncertain time to say the least. I hope everyone who reads this has been well and hopefully we can see a light at the end of this strange tunnel. Our TDA family has thankfully been healthy through all of this so far. We normally put out two or three newsletters like this a year, but for part of last year any news we wanted to put out was uncertain - - and when things did become more certain, I got so busy it was hard to find time to help with putting this together. The ladies at our public relations company, On Course Strategies in Connecticut, have been great in adapting and helped keep the process of telling our story going. 2020 for us professionally started with a lot of excitement, then became interesting and uncertain, but ended with even more excitement. Our work at Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club was well recognized, our projects at BraeBurn Country Club in Houston and Green Tree Country Club in Midland, Texas, were green lighted, and we completed our Master Plan for Thunderbird Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California. We were able to keep things moving towards always being better for the clubs we work with in a consulting role. To cap it off, we were selected by the Atlanta Athletic Club to rework their Riverside Course and consult with them long term. The great thing to come from this strange time is a renewed interest by so many in our game of golf as a sport all can play in the outdoors.
