Hello Teachers!
The entire GOLF team and 8AM family are excited to see you all next week down at Cabot Citrus Farms for GOLF’s Top 100 Teachers retreat. We have an exciting/packed schedule in store so to help you better plan your arrival and departure, here is the planned lineup of confirmed speakers for the event (see below). Dress is casual but spiffy and your best teaching duds will suffice for the entirety of the event. We also want to make this Summit interactive so please don’t be shy about raising your hand with a question or suggestion. In the meantime, please email oliver@8amgolf.com with any questions.
Safe travels!
