My Golfing Goals Academy

MyGolfingGoals Academy players Andrew O’Leary and Owen Murphy took 1st & 2nd place in the 2010 New England Junior Open Championship last week. O’Leary shot his career low round to take home the title, which was his first ever tournament win.

“Andrew and Owen have been working incredibly hard on their games this summer and it is paying off.” said coach Bill McInerney. “They really enjoy practicing and competing. They are wonderful to work with, and I am very proud of both of them!”

Andrew O'Leary... 2010 New England Junior Open Champion

MyGolfingGoals Academy would like to congratulate 14 year old Katharine Fortin for winning the Callaway NEPGA Junior Campbells Scottish Highlands Championship, the girls 14-18 year old division. Katharine racked up four birdies for the day, which included birdies on her final two holes - AWESOME finish!  This was Katharine’s first ever tournament win!  We are all very proud of you Katharine… keep up the great work!

MyGolfingGoals Academy player, James Imai, clinched another victory at the US Kids Hartford Spring Tour Championship.  James had a challenging start to his day, but stayed patient, persevered, and played the last 3 holes at 2 under par after holing out a 25 yard pitch shot for an eagle.

This was James’ third win of the season on the Hartford Spring Tour.  With this win,  James captured Player of The Year honors - along with getting him a special invitation into the US Kids World Championships, which will be held at Pinehurst Resort in early August.

Congratulations James!

Congratulations to 9 Year Old James Imai for taking home his first victory of 2010. Yesterday, James sank an 8 foot putt for birdie on the final hole to win the US Kids, Hartford Spring Tours first event. Way to kick off the season James!!!

On behalf of MyGolfingGoals Academy, I would like to wish all a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.

In celebration of this wonderful holiday, I would like to offer all golfers out there a delicious pie. Yes, this is a bit on the corny side - but not if you’re trying to reach your true potential as a golfer.

Please check out the MyGolfingGoals Peak Performance Circle that I’ve developed. This is to help players understand that it is not all about the golf swing. Please make sure to incorporate a plan for 2010 that involves attacking each category of this circle!

Happy holidays!

Congratulations to, 13 year old, MyGolfingGoals Academy student, Katharine Fortin, for getting her first ever Hole-In-One! Today Katharine aced the 15th hole on Ponkapoag’s Course #2.   She knocked a 5-Iron into the hole on the 160 yard par 3.

Awesome shot Katharine!!!

A congratulations goes out to Alejandro Soto for taking home his first ever US Kids Golf Tour win. Not only did Alejandro win, but he won in convincing fashion - with the next competitor 10 strokes back. Not to bad considering that “Alejo” has only been competing in tournaments for less than one year.

Great win Alejandro, as I’m sure there will be many more to come!

James Imai continued his stellar play by taking home his first ever US Kids Golf Tour tournament win. His win came only one day after qualifying for the US Kids Golf World Championship in Pinehurst.

Congratulations to James Imai. Yesterday James qualified for the US Kids Golf World Championships in Pinehurst, North Carolina. The World Championship will be held August 6th-8th. We’re all rooting for you James!!!
