"@RyanLavnerGC @damonhackGC @GCMorningDrive Ridiculously awesome and well written story about Rockport Texas. One of the best pieces I've seen in a long time how hurricane Harvey affected people and a community personally. Ryan truly an outstanding piece of work deserving of way more than just a golf clap"
