“My ‘core value’ to live by, and philosophy for life, would be Integrity,” says Rice.  “I am proud to be involved in the lasting effects that the game of golf, and the inherent values it makes on the kids in the programs. As an immeasurable benefit to being part of the program, and golf course, is the realization that we are keeping Steve's (Hogan) dream “alive...and flourishing!”
