    Our Story: Acorn Hills Clothing Company was created by a college sophomore who loved both the outdoors and looking good.  The company, although very small at first, set out to provide premium clothing products. Although similar to other big brands, we provided these products for a fraction of the price. However clothing is only a small part of what we stand for .  Along with this,  Acorn Hills focuses on giving back to its community by taking the initiative to help revitalize forests and areas of land that fill this great place we call earth. With a percentage of our sales donated to charities and organizations such as the National Forest Foundation and others that align with these goals.  By providing things such as biodegradable packaging, and plantable clothing tags, we pay homage to our acorn logo by practicing what we preach.  By also planting acorns every year to help replenish trees in nature, we continue to make a positive change for the outdoors, no matter how small.  People have asked, "why choose clothing?"  It's simple really,  when you look good, you feel good, and when you feel good...you DO GOOD!  We just help you get there.

    David Wall, a Blackshear native, took a liking to golf early in his life. He started playing the game at the age of 10 and dominated the sport while in high school and college. He was low medalist for the 1979 Blackshear High School state championship golf team and went on to earn a scholarship at both South Georgia College in Douglas and Augusta College. Following college, Wall went on to qualify for the US Amateur and turned pro in 1985. He played the Florida Mini -Tour for four years, winning 25 events and joined the Hooters Tour in 1990 where he won the Brick Landing Open in Wilmington, NC in 1991 and the Collins Pro Classic in Louisville, KY in 1996. During his time on the Hooters Tour, Wall made 35 cuts in a row. He left the tour after being diagnosed with the disease that slowly robbed him of his muscle control and eventually took his life. David loved God, his family, his friends (many of them junior golfers).  David's family acts as tournament host including his parents, Mr & Mrs. William Wall, his brother, Mr. Bill Wall, his sister Mrs. Debbie Gilleon, and his wife Dawn, and sons, DJ, Logan, & Kirby.

The Charter members were: Lillian Cherry, Gladys Gray, Alma Fay Horn, Lorraine Sawyer, Opal Shields, Mary Frances Simpson, Lubertha Slocum and Ann Wilson.

    The parent/athlete relationship is complex, rewarding, terrifying and satisfying - all at the same time. Watching our kids compete can create amazing bonds, or it can risk damaging family relationships altogether. That line can be thin and a slippery slope if the journey is approached with mismatched goals, unrealistic expectations, and a mom or dad who ‘wants it' more than the player does. This book is a look at that dynamic in great detail through the lens of junior golf and our journey as a family. This is not a resource to teach you how to raise the most successful golfer - more so, it is about taking our advice as you start your journey so that you can avoid many of the mistakes that we made as parents and as a family. Golf is an amazing game that will teach us so much about life, adversity, overcoming, failing and succeeding, hurting and healing, winning and losing with grace – and we are all better off if we let it happen organically and enjoy the moments along the way. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thejuniorgolfpodcast/support
