Proponent Group founder and former Golf Magazine editor, Lorin Anderson had this to say about Don’s book: “As creator of GOLF Magazine’s Top 100 Teachers program, I have been working with the game’s best teachers for many years. Don Peterson’s Miyagi For Golf is certainly one of the most creative and comprehensive ideas for improving your game that I have ever seen. It takes what you already know how to do and turns it into a powerful and consistent golf swing.”

This is what Senior PGA Tour player Todd Hamilton had this to say about Don: “When I began to struggle with my swing, I turned to an old friend from home to help me turn things around. Don Peterson and I worked to make the necessary changes for me to improve. Shortly after working with Don, I earned my way back to America by qualifying for the PGA Tour. In 2004 I won the Honda Classic, earned Rookie Of The Year, and became Champion Golfer of the year with my victory in “The Open” at Royal Troon.”

Raymond James

When Bob James founded Raymond James, he did so based on a belief that clients deserved more than help with investment decisions, they needed advice that considered their entire financial picture.

Further, the company has expanded through the years to serve corporations, institutions, and municipalities through significant capital markets, banking, and asset management services.

Raymond James has always been a different kind of financial services firm, embracing long-term planning, valuing methodical decision-making, and remaining focused on what matters most: People.

That’s because they believe they are in the business of helping people achieve their dreams … support their families, grow their businesses, and improve their communities. That’s true for clients, as well as their advisors and associates.

They strive to help all the people they serve embrace life. Live it thoughtfully. Live it confidently. Live it well.
