"I can't say enough about the support and help received from the Ocala-Marion Sports Commission in helping our Tour put together a first class tournament! I want to say a special thank you to Matt Dunn for helping the Tour secure a host facility and for his help organizing and conducting the event. Matt made sure every detail was covered and that our participants had a memorable experience while in Ocala. Many of our professionals have told me how welcome they and their families were made to feel in Ocala and have wanted me to pass along their best wishes! It was a true pleasure working with Matt and the Sports Commission and we look forward to an annual return to the area! Thank you!"

"Matt, I want to thank you for the great help in conducting the recent U. S. Women's Mid Amateur Championship. The event, conducted by the United States Golf Association,at Golden Hills Golf and Turf Club was a great success. You arranged several contacts with County Government that led to many benefits such as the borrowed bleachers, the Sheriff Department's great traffic control on U. S. Highway 27 and the road closure infront of the Club House to provide safety for the competitors in the Championship.
Your efforts in behalf of the Ocala/Marion County Sports Commission opened doors and added so much to the Championship that I do not know how to adequatelythank you.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,"
E. B. Gee, Jr. General Co-Chairman
