Dear Coach McGraw,
You taught me that there is more to life than golf. Don’t let golf define you. You are more than your accomplishments.

Dear Coach Craig,
You taught me to embrace my true self and to be a confident leader. You have been a constant in my life, and I cannot thank you enough for your mentorship and friendship. You always provided opportunities for me to grow as a person and leader. You trusted me to coach the generations of tomorrow and peers at a very young age. You advocated for me to have a seat at the table, cheered me on during my life highs and knew how to support me during my lows. If I can be half as good of a mentor as you are to me, and pay it forward to someone else, I’m doing something right in life.
Thank you for being my lifelong mentor and friend.
Sincerely, Brittany (Woo) Gill First Tee – Greater Richmond alumna
