SIMS NAMED HARVEY PENICK WINNER

Longtime USGTF member Bruce Sims was named the winner of the 2015 Harvey Penick Trophy for Excellence in Golf Teaching at the closing banquet and awards ceremony for the United States and World Golf Teachers Cups. The award recognizes the USGTF member who best exemplifies service to the golfing community, integrity, and accomplishments. Sims is owner and operator of the Bruce Sims Golf School located in Plano, Texas. “When I wake up in the morning, I think about golf,” said Sims during his acceptance speech. “I think about it all day long. It’s my passion.” Sims started a program in early 2015 called “Pathway to High School Golf,” preparing junior golfers to play for their respective high school golf teams. The program has been a huge success and has seen a number of high-achieving golfers in just its first year of existence. Sims has been a member of the USGTF since 1997, and is a regular participant in both the US and World Golf Teachers Cups. Pictured Above: Bruce Sims and Cole Golden (Asst. Tournament Director)
