Ron has shot his age 18 times and counting. Ron mentioned that earning a living in the golf world in sales and visiting the great golf courses of the USA was lots of fun and rewarding: Ron said it best with the following statement:
"Golf has taught me how to handle the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Golf has been a wonderful way of life and presented the opportunity to meet many wonderful people and make many life long friends. Golf is a wonderful environment for families and you rarely hear of a kid who plays golf, getting in trouble."
Ron and his family of: Wife Kathy and sons John & Michael live in Florida but still bleeds Waseca! Michael recently obtained his PHD at the Univ. of Fla. and is a Professor In Virginia.
"Down the middle," with Ron Clayton is good advice in any sport! Another Waseca area athlete to remember from the old days!
