To Whom It May Concern,

Our company has had the pleasure of working with Paul Purtzer for golf-related activities over the past several years. We have benefited from his services in small group events as well as for events that had nearly 200 golfers.

We have always found Paul to be the consummate professional who is very skilled in his approach to running the event. His affable personality relates well to golfers of all skill levels and his knowledge of the golf swing and the game of golf give him significant credibility with the best of golfers as well as beginners.

You will find he is passionate about the game, but very patient when working with even the most difficult people. Paul will find a way to improve your game. Many of the individuals who attend our functions, seek Paul out for additional instruction on their own. I personally have been a student of Paul's and enjoyed the experience as well as improvement in my game.

I would recommend Paul for your consideration without hesitation.

Sincerely,

Paul,

Thank you very much for inviting me to participate in the United Healthcare "Carousel for Kids" Celebrity Golf tournament on saturday. Myself and my fellow NFL Alumni are often invited to play in many of these golf events throughout the year and this was by far the BEST event that I have had the privilege to play in.

The event planners did an AWESOME job of putting this first class event together. I was really impressed with the format and the speed of play. The on course Tee challenges where a great addition to the competition as well. The Firerock Golf Club is a beautiful place. They did a great job and the course was in perfect condition not to mention the wonderful views. The food and service at the dinner was the best I have seen at an event like. I'm certain that United Healthcare can be extremely proud of such an awsome event.

Thank you again for inviting me to play, I hope myself and the other NFL Alumni get invited to play next year.

Mark Walczak, former Arizona Cardinals (NFL)

Dear Paul,

Many thanks for an outstanding event. All of our guests truly enjoyed. If I may provide comment, I believe one of the strengths of your Team is the ability to make all feel comfortable and at ease. You must receive this feedback all of the time, but those who are not the best golfers (including myself), tend to tighten up and get nervous when playing with Professionals or people that we are not familiar with, not sure what it is, but you and your Team have a great ability to make us golfers of less fortunate ability to feel at ease and play within our capability.

Though I had no time to participate in the instructional event, and only had a few minutes to listen on the group discussions, the most important take-away that I received was to play to our strengths and within ourselves. I have not been one of those guys that have been the best with course management.

I had the opportunity to play two holes with Tom (Purtzer), I believe Tom played with my foursome at the 3rd and 4th hole at the Legacy. The 3rd hole if you remember is a rather short par 4, maybe 360 yards. I am an old baseball player, Tom was able to pick that up when he saw me take a few practice swings on the 3rd hole. I hit driver on the hole and the first words out of Tom's mouth after I hit it went something like "Man, that ball got awfully small very quickly".

.............I guess that is enough for me crying the blues, we truly enjoyed your Team's participation in the event, and I hope that you would be willing to support future events for the Honeywell Team.
