Thank you Adam

"Emperor Tommy Naccarato has lost his home to the Los Angeles wildfires. Pretty tough at the best of times; worse still given he's in recovery after suffering a stroke.

Tommy is an icon in the golf architecture community, and has been a valued friend to hundreds of us for many years. We owe him a great deal. Now it's time to help him! Please give what you can."

[Bob Jenkins]

Adam, thank you for setting this up. Hopefully he has shelter and help.

[Charlie Goerges]

Adam, thank you for setting this up. Hopefully he has shelter and help.

Someone said he's at his mom's, so at least there's that. And great job Adam and everyone for donating, it will make a difference!

[Adam Lawrence]

It's quite late in the evening here, and I shan't be up that much longer, but before I hit the hay, I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to the entire golf architecture community for stepping up to the plate today. I have messaged with Tommy extensively, and I know that he is blown away by the love today has shown for him.


I don't know where the fundraising will finish, though I think it has a way to go -- we have had some attention from a number of pretty high profile people, and their followers, even though they don't know Tommy personally, are coming to the party as well -- the list of contributors includes a lot of names I know, and a lot I don't. I am extremely grateful to them all.


Today has shown the golf architecture community at its best.

Andy Johnson over at Fried Egg has also highlighted. Nice one, Andy!

[Ken Fry]

Incredible offering and response for Tommy!


Plus, his beloved Irish win the Orange Bowl last night!

[Ronald Montesano]

And by highlighted, he means "included a huge write-up in email blast," which should be a major assist for TN.

If it's not for Tommy's passion, I'm not sure any of us our here. Thoughts & prayers to the big guy. Lets make a difference.
