To My Dear Great Golfer Grandson Garrett,

Have you noticed that all of the words I have used to describe you start with the same letter?
This is called Alliteration.
I love to use this type of wording when I want to emphasize a certain point.

Needless to say, I was very emotionally overwhelmed with your posting on Facebook.
I immediately imagined myself being a beautiful butterfly perched on the tip of
your driver.

You are a very loving, caring, thoughtful young man!
I am a very grateful grandmother!

I am grateful for the opportunities life has granted you.
I am grateful for the humility you possess when you are being interviewed.
Our friends that have seen your interviews are impressed with the ease with which you speak.
There seems to be a comfortable feeling that surrounds you when you express yourself.
I am grateful that you appreciate and acknowledge the people that have made this journey possible.
I am speaking of your sponsors and your coach who have recognized your talent and potential.
I am grateful that you love and respect your parents even through the ‘Tough Love’ times.
You have never forgotten the part that your paternal and maternal grandparents have played in your
Journey of life.
They are all with you now and will never leave you.

Keep Cool And Keep Grounded and remember To Never Give Up!

Gramps and I send you All our Love!

Granny

P.S.
I wrote a draft of this letter at 4AM this morning. I couldn’t send it then, because ……
It got to the point where your Go, Go, Go Granny had to Go Back to Bed!

Dear my granny and gramps.

I find my greatest success and strength when I make it not from my thoughts but from my heart and how I feel. I’ve been very close to my goals and there has been lots of learning and shining moments in my journey that has begun. I want you guys to know, I need you to know that I think about you two everyday. Not just from playing with my new pink driver but from the lessons, memories, and pure love you guys send my way at all times. It’s tough on the road sometimes by myself but it’s all part of it and I’ve been learning how to play on the road and also live a healthy lifestyle . It’s not just a game to me anymore it’s my life and I’ve realized that it just doesn’t happen overnight in this occupation I’ve chose. It may take some people 1 year or others 10 years to accomplish their goals but for me I’m in it till I make the PGA on TV and nothing is going to stop me. Recently I have quit drinking, not even a casual beer. It’s been 2 weeks so far. I don’t even drink pop. I’m trying to take the great opportunity I have in front of me and make the absolute best of it! I want you guys to know that I’m surrounded with lots of caring people down the coast here and my sponsor and living arrangements is just fantastic!. I hope to swing up there next week sometime if I squeeze some time off! Lol

I love how busy I am and how healthy I feel! everyday I wake up I create my day and push myself forward to greatness!
I love you both very much!
love your dearest grandson
Garrett.
I hope gramps can read this email with you together!
