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.

Tony Dear (@tonyjdear on Twitter) has announced that he is going to send his spare copy of MacKenzie’s ‘Golf Architecture’ in exchange for contribution to Tommy’s Fund. Contact him via Twitter if you’re interested.

[John Foley]

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.

[V_Halyard]

Thank you to all media folks at Golf, GolfWeek, FriedEgg, FTB, Golfers Journal, GolfDigest, GolfCourseArchitecture, Raynor Society, Mackenzie Institute, LINKS, Tony Dear, and many more all across golf, social, and traditional media.

Sure I missed some, take no offense,  it’s hard the keep up.
On behalf Tommy Nacc, thanks.

Tommy. Hope you're still rocking that Fishers Island hat you 'picked' out of the bag at Stone Eagle back when the clubhouse was a mobile home and I had a few American Needle samples to share with the GCA boys after a Hades hot weekend in the 'Springs. Damn... I pray God's speed with your recovery and hope all comes to fruition with you finding another place to call 'home' sooner than later. Lots of green fairways & lightning quick greens in the near future!!!
