Letters of Recommendation
Bob Loesch
Dear Mr. Bartkowski, Mr. Limon, and other members of the PGA Colorado Section awards committee –
I understand that Mitchell Gore has been twice nominated for the Colorado PGA Section “Assistant Professional of the Year” award. Please accept my highest personal endorsement for recognizing Mr. Gore with this honor.
​
As current Past President of Columbine Country Club and Board Director at Perry Park Country Club, I have had ample opportunity to observe and interact with many fine PGA Professionals and PGA Interns. The success we have had at CCC in developing young talent and preparing them for Head Professional/Director of Golf positions is I believe unparalleled in our state and in which we take great pride. Mr. Gore has demonstrated all the attributes that make him in my eyes the finest Assistant Professional in my history at the club.
​
In direct service to the Colorado Section, Mitchell is invaluable in managing our PGA event hosting duties at Columbine. I have the good fortune of interacting with golf staff and management at other clubs and am pleased when Mitchell’s name comes up in conversation. It’s clear he is well known and respected and models the talent and behaviors that make us proud at Columbine. He is a valuable ambassador for the Colorado Section and the game of golf... a significant contribution that makes us all better.
​
Mr. Gore has developed and demonstrates excellent leadership among our team and has quickly risen to the top. His skills and demeanor are clearly admired by his fellow assistants and the interns he mentors, as well as throughout our entire organization. Mitchell’s exceptional interpersonal skills along with his kind and thoughtful nature are an excellent example for others to follow. Any member of our Staff, Member of our club, or Guest will benefit from his engaging and helpful manner. When I look for leaders, I look for people who make those around them better.
​
Golf specific, Mitchell has done excellent work managing various programs for our Junior, Women’s, and Men’s development programs and tournament calendars. He is invaluable in making our annual Member-Guest a success as evidenced by the many guests who seek him out to say hello during the event each year. He makes our golf experience better.
​
I appreciate your consideration of Mitchell Gore for the “Assistant Professional of the Year” award for 2024. I’m sure a number of qualified candidates have been nominated, but there are none better.
Best Regards,
​

To whom it may concern:
I have been a TaylorMade Sales Rep for the past fifteen years, and the Colorado Sales Rep for the past nine years. In the Spring of 2019, I was in search for some Master Fitters to help me out with club-fittings and to help manage my high-priority accounts. Mitchell thankfully had interest in the job and met me and my team for an interview.
Out of all the candidates we interviewed, Mitchell was the only one to show up wearing a suit. It took me about two seconds to know I wanted to hire this guy and I hoped he would work for me for the next ten years. But that won’t happen because he is the most motivated person I have ever met, and has huge goals way beyond being a Master-Fitter for TaylorMade.
I was so impressed with Mitchell’s work ethic, knowledge of our product, trackman skills and his unbelievable ability to sell. I have so much confidence in Mitchell, I know he will have one of the best golf professional jobs in the country early in his career. If you take the time to get to know him, I am sure you’ll notice the same amazing qualities that I was fortunate enough to experience while he was working for me. I will say this as a father of two daughters, the best compliment I could ever give a guy is that I hope someday my daughters marry a guy like Mitchell.
Sincerely,
Shaun Haberstroh
