About

Founder’s Message

For more than twenty years, I have dedicated my life to teaching golf and witnessing how the game builds confidence, character, and resilience in young players.

As a PGA Master Professional, I founded GLIC to ensure that every junior golfer—regardless of background—has access to opportunities, mentorship, and a community that believes in their potential.

Thank you for supporting our mission to inspire the next generation of leaders both on and off the course.
