  • Sam McClain

    I have been working with Sam McClain over the last two years. Sam has only played golf for three years and had never broken 80 until this past week. We had long talks about this mental hurdle, and I told Sam, "You will break 80 soon!" This week at Darby Creek, Sam shot 72! When he texted me to let me know, I responded, "You not only broke 80, but you knocked the door down!" I am proud of Sam's continued hard work!

  • Bill Kiefaber

    Bill Kiefaber is coming off two elbow surgeries and wanted to get back to his prior golf form. He invested in a package of six lessons and focused on the basics - grip, ball position, stance, etc. - to find a comfortable swing for his reconstructed elbow. He still has a lot of work to do, but his net scores are a good indication of his progress.

  • Grace Beerman

    Congratulations to Grace Beerman and Grace College for winning the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) National Championship at Hammock Beach Ocean Course, Palm Coast, FL. She shot (82, 78, 79) to finish (T7). Proud coach!!

  • Hailey Boss
