After an illustrious career, Jack continued to push the game forward. Although he didn’t win at Augusta and pushed the limits of what fans thought was possible on the course. Now he works hard behind the scenes to promote golf!
“And I saw what it does and how it helps these kids,” Jack said. “Barbara and I are blessed to be able to do this and help others through our platform.
He continued: “So we are fully committed. We love it. And it was a blessing in our lives. It’s given to us, let’s focus our later years to be able to help others.“
Although always a supporter of the game, he emphasizes the importance of sports and other activities and encourages to be the best regardless. of the game or career
