GolfRomeGa.com came about long before it was actually implemented.

Joedy McGraw has worked in the golf business since 1996. During the first 7-8 years, Joedy worked as a club professional where his responsibilities included managing daily golf shop operations, merchandising, tournament planning and organization, and teaching individual and group lessons and clinics. The clubs he has served include The University of Georgia Golf Club, Chattahoohee Country Club, and here locally at Coosa Country Club, Horseleg Country Club, Cherokee Golf & Country Club in Cedartown, Georgia, and currently at BEAA Golf Club.

Jarratt Bryan first picked up a golf club while he was in college at Florida State University.  Once he graduated and moved to LaFayette, Ga., a lack of money and time curbed his addiction and passion for the game.  It wasn't until the summer of 2008 when his then 9-year-old son Jonathan wanted to emulate his "Paw Paw" and play golf himself.  A year later, Jonathan got his own clubs and has been swinging for the greens ever since. Jarratt and his wife April now follow Jonathan to tournaments in the Atlanta and Rome areas most every weekend.  When he gets a chance, Jarratt plays golf himself, although it's clear Jonathan didn't inherit his talent from his father...

In 2000, Jarratt opened his home-based business The Digital Pen.  Initially, he focused on building websites.  While he still does this for a select clientele, his primary focus is on restoring damaged photographs.

Jarratt met Joedy back in late 2009 when Joedy became Jonathan's golf coach.  When Joedy broached the subject of a Rome, Ga. golf website, the two began working on ideas and plans.  In the summer of 2011, those plans became a reality!
