Every month our St. Augustine golf community introduces you to one of our fabulous residents. For November, the World Golf Village resident spotlight is on Rick Burke! Rick lives in Royal Pines with his wife Lisa,their twin daughters, Ashley and Megan, and his father-in-law, George Lamneck. They all share their home with George’s very overweight dog, Chief (a pug), along with their dog, Dexter and cat, Tres. Meet Rick!

Commitment.
