English spoke with the Apalachee High School golf team on Wednesday. He took time to answer questions about how he got into golf, what he likes to eat before a round and to offer his advice to the young golfers.

"A special moment at East Lake. @Harris_English welcomed students from Apalachee High School, who’ve shown incredible strength and resilience this past year. Their smiles say it all.”

The Apalachee community has been healing together over the past year. Next month on Sept. 4 will mark one year since the deadly Apalachee High School shooting that killed two students and two teachers.

There are community vigils planned in remembrance of those who were lost that day.
