Casey Smith, 2009 Junior Leader of the Year, Dixie Section of the PGA of America

Congratulations Casey Smith for being selected 2009 Junior Leader of the Year for the Dixie Section of the Professional Golfers' Association of America! His loving and supportive wife Mandy proudly said, "He beat out golf professionals from all over Alabama and the Florida panhandle."

Here is a note Carol I and received today from Casey's mentor, PGA professional Butch Byrd: "Casey was the real star of yesterday’s meeting in Montgomery. When the President presented his plaque as Section Junior Golf Leader, Casey told the story of the young woman whom he had been working with – a very moving story! Then he publicly thanked his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, Mandy and his parents for everything meaningful in his life. You would have been so proud of him as I was as he confidently walked forward to receive his honor. He is a special young man and I was blessed to have him with me for 8 months years ago!"
