I'm Very Proud of You Guys
This is why we're here. Below is a letter that was sent to Mr. Harbecke and Mr. Shelton last night:
Mr. Harbecke:
Congratulations for having such excellent representation at the coaching and player level of the Johnsburg Golf Team. Yesterday, Woodstock and Johnsburg players met at Plum Tree National and the matches were very enjoyable to watch. Your coach was very positive and provided guidance to both teams in a professional manner that enabled the players to respond to the challenge with confidence and in most cases, an excellent result.
Moreover, your players displayed excellent sportsmanship throughout the match and this positive spirit carried over to the recap at the conclusion of the event. From a spectator’s point of view, players competing against each other but still providing assistance in locating balls, discussing the application of the rules and complimenting their opponent on a well-executed shot was very enlightening.
Thank you for having such a positive and knowledgeable coach and a team that represents your school in a very positive manner.
Regards,
Daniel Happ

Congratulations JHS Golf TEAM, coaches and players for recieving what is a well deserved letter. Coach Frey this is a huge credit to your coaching, along with your relationship with your players, you give all the boys respect and in return you seem to always get it back. There is more to coaching a sport than just teaching the sport, I have witnessed for 4 years how you have taught sportsmanship, respect, and fair play to the boys as they become men.
Being a spectator for golf is a special treat because there are no officials for parents to scream at, no parents or fans yelling at players during the match, and no coaches screaming instructions to the players. When the players are on the course they are forced to make their own decisions by using the knowledge they gained at practice, and avoid the pressure of screaming parents and coaches.
GREAT JOB TEAM, the town is proud!
