Professional Golfers' Association of America

Dear PGA:

There is another super hero in town. I am a long-time fan of the Professional Golfers' Association of America, including a long-time golfer. Presently, I am a disabled person. Nonetheless, I present to you Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm) - a yard safety super hero. About a year ago, I had a lawn mower accident that resulted in the partial amputation of my left foot. Consequently, I have been an advocate and promoter of yard safety, with the goal to prevent these outdoor power equipment accidents from happening to other people. Furthermore, I have been a renaissance yardman, utilizing various art forms to communicate my safety message. We all recognize the talent and care require to manicure golf courses - some of the greatest landscape architecture in the world. Thus, I want to partner with the PGA about the possibility of dedicating one day each golf season as Yard Safety Awareness Day. Each year, there are about 400,000 individuals (about 20% children) who experience lawn mower and garden-tool-related accidents, often times resulting in severe and life-altering outcomes. Since golf is America's fastest growing sport enjoyed by millions of people and played on natural turf, I ask for any assistance that you may provide to facilitate this humanitarian idea. Please visit the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man (sm) website at http://www.rescuerick.com/ for additional information. Also, please visit the Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man BLOG at http://rescuerick.blogspot.com/ as well. Thank you for your consideration. I can be reached at (724) 347-4078. Best wishes!

Sincerely,
