Dear friends, family, and fellow golf enthusiasts-

Jeff Tachell, a respected and long-standing golf professional at Mount Si Golf Course in Snoqualmie, WA recently underwent a very extensive and complex open heart surgery. The procedure involved multiple bypasses and valve repair, addressing critical and life-threatening cardiac issues. This was not a routine operation—it was a major medical event that has left Jeff facing a long, harsh, and uncertain road to recovery.

Jeff has now been in the hospital for over a month, enduring complications, setbacks, and the physical toll that comes with such a major surgery. His recovery will require months of rehabilitation, rest, and follow-up care before he can return to even basic routines—let alone his beloved work on the golf course.

For years, Jeff has been the heart of Mount Si Golf Course. Whether he's giving lessons, mentoring junior players, or sharing his deep passion for the game, Jeff has touched countless lives with his kindness, patience, and expertise. His presence on the course has been felt by generations of golfers who have come to respect and admire him not only as a pro, but as a person.

By his side every single day has been his wife Kathy, offering unwavering support through long hospital days and uncertain nights. As Jeff remains unable to work, and with medical bills and recovery-related expenses continuing to grow, we are reaching out to ask for your help.
