Good Luck, Ted!
Since Ted is probably too modest to post this, I will. Ted asked some of his students to email letters of recommendation for him to pass along to the selection committee. He recieved 23 letters from 11 states, Sweden, and Australia!
Just goes to show, a great teacher inspires loyalty...

Ted Fort -- 2006 Georgia PGA Teacher of the Year!
The Georgia PGA is one of the 41 Sections of the PGA of America. Its membership includes over 850 PGA professionals working at over 260 golf courses, clubs, and ranges throughout the state. Additionally, more than 20 Georgia PGA members compete on one of the PGA Tours.

But only one member is the 2006 Georgia PGA Teacher of the Year.

Guess who?



Time's up...

And the answer is...

Our own Ted Fort!

Congratulations, Ted. This is a well-deserved honor, one that I personally am extremely proud to see you receive.

You are a credit to your PGA Section...

To your students...

And to The Game.

Most of all, for those of us who are privileged to know you personally...

You are a wonderful husband, father, associate and friend.

Congratulations again, Ted Fort.

Sometimes nice guys finish first...

This is one of those times!

Great job, Ted. I enjoyed working with you and Lynn last spring. It certainly takes a talented person to not only provide excellent instruction day in and day out but also keep your game competitive and in tournament shape.

Keep up the good work!
