Bio
Married to each other for more than 30 years, we have four children and 8 grandchildren... and are proud to be the parents of a golf-scholarshiped college graduate.
Sam Goldfarb Jr. and I (Linda) have been very active in the life of our youngest son who has played golf since he was five years old.
Our desire with this interactive blog is to provide insight, coaching, and encouragement to build up and transform relationships between parents and their Junior golfer while equipping you, the parent, with practical advice to kick start your JG down the road to college golf.
As a previous Junior golfer himself, hubby Sam Jr. has an extensive legacy in golf including his father, Sam Goldfarb Sr.'s involvement in rejuvenating the bankrupt Texas Open in the early 1940's. Sam Sr even brought in Bob Hope and Bing Crosby to help publicize this great Winter PGA Event which continues today to bring in top qualifying golfers into San Antonio.
Sam Sr. was asked to run the Texas State Junior Golf Championship by the San Antonio Light Newspaper in 1946. So he took care of the ‘State Junior’...as he called it until 1972 with the help of his wife Dorothy Goldfarb, Brackenridge Golf Pro, Murray Brooks and several dedicated friends.
We are proud to announce Sam Sr. will be inducted into the Texas Golf Hall of Fame in October 2012.
Hubby, Sam Jr. was handed one of his first clubs by Bob Hope at the age of five and participated as a Junior golfer through high school, yes... golf is a family thing!
My (Linda's) background as a certified fitness specialist, certified advanced personality trainer, and certified advanced life coach (specializing in relationships) as well as walking the course as a caddie-mom, riding the cart as spectator-mom, and dealing with the trauma and triumph as a golfers-mom many times over the course of 12+ years... has me filled to overflowing with info I'm loving to share with you!
Sam III began college on a golf scholarship in the Fall of 2012... his journey has been one of ups and downs like most Junior and college golfers. We believe what sets him apart and has aided in his success has been our proactive, purposed & persistent participation as parents... we look forward to sharing with you what we have learned.
