My Golfing Goals Academy

A congratulations goes out to MyGolfingGoals Academy student, Justin Peters, for moving on to the PGA Tour’s Final Qualifying stage. After a 5th place finish at first stage, Justin went on to fire rounds of 68-67-72-67 in second stage - at the very difficult Hombre Golf Club, in Panama City, Florida.

The final stage of PGA Tour qualifying will be held December 2-7 at Bear Lakes Country Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. This grueling event will be contested over 6 rounds (108 holes) and only the low 25 scores and ties will earn their PGA Tour cards for the 2010 season. The rest of the field will have some degree of status on the Nationwide Tour. The purse for the event is $1,012,500 with $50,000 going to the champion.

Watch live on The Golf Channel. Here are the TV Times:
Dec. 5th 1pm-4pm
Dec. 6th 1pm-4pm
Dec. 7th 12:30pm-4pm

Good luck Justin!

This past week, MyGolfingGoals Academy student and Big Break Ka’anapali star, Susan Choi, captured her first professional win as a professional, by winning the 2009 Johnson & Johnson New England Women’s Open Championship. Susan had previously won two other professional titles, both of them coming on the SunCoast Series Golf Tour when she was still an amateur golfer.

Congratulations to Justin Peters for winning The Minor League Tours Q-School Contest. The winner of the contest gets their 2010 PGA Tour Qualifying School entry paid for (which cost $4,500).

Justin won 5 of the 21 Q-School Contest events… with a phenomenal scoring average of 68.18. Justin is now leading the Minor League Tour in all-time wins as well!

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!!!
