This story was a real pleasure to work on. Our subject, Matt Cooper, is a talented, articulate, and bright young man who just so happens to love golf.

With the help of Karen McLure and Robyn Soffera of Duke Children's Hospital we set out to tell Matt's story. We found out that the hospital was working on a story already. So with a few phone calls David Salmon sent out a drive with new material that he had just shot. The footage was perfect but not enough golf. So we made a personal visit. We hope you like the results.

This story will play a critical role on during the tournament and broadcast:

- All the volunteers, 2500 of them, will watch Matt's story as a part of their orientation.

- The story will play on Media Day as the media comes to Orlando to start writing stories for print, radio, and television.

- The story will also be the highlight of the "Draw Party". Where the Pro-Am players and families get together to make the pairings for the tournament.

- The story will also play on the Golf Channel in the U.S. and Europe during the for live rounds and prime time replays.

Matt will connect with those who love or hate the game of golf. His personality is infectious as we had the time to meet with him over a couple of days.

Thanks again to Matt, Dan Cooper, Wendy Cooper, Robyn Soffera (Duke Children's), David Salmon (NC Producer), Shelley Osterloh (Writer, Director), Brandon Christensen (Director of Photography), Jim Hughes (editor), and several key players that help these stories get produced.
