LaFlarian OF THE MONTH- Elliott Normand
In any aspect of life, you must pay respects to those who came before you and set the standard for greatness. That is why our May 2022 LaFlarian of the Month is none other than our inaugural champion, Elliott Normand, who has helped shape the LaFlare Golf culture.
An extreme power player, Elliott would rather be caught dead than seen warming up his irons on the range. In just two years, he has taken home almost every award LaFlare offers: 3x Drip or Drown winner, 3x Yeet winner, 1x Kobe winner, 1x Most Lit Cart winner, and 1x Courage Award winner.
If you want to know what having fun while playing good golf looks like, look no further. Our 2020 Tour Champ, Elliott Normand is your guy.

“He’s been more than a friend since I was initiated into the family during our 2012 family vacation, although I have a hard time claiming him and his dirty stache.”
