North Florida PGA

October ended with a bang for the

North Florida Section, as Jennifer Borocz and Stephanie ConnellyEiswerth were victorious, alongside Team USA, at the Women’s PGA Cup! The team, which consisted of Borocz, Connelly-Eiswerth, Sherry Andonian, Joanna Coe and Ashley Grier, competed at Twin Warriors Golf Club from October 27-29th. After three rounds of play, Team USA won against Canada by two strokes, finishing at -1 (656). Connelly-Eiswerth, who teaches at San Jose Country Club, was the team’s top performer during the second and third rounds. Connelly-Eiswerth (T2) and Borocz (7) individually placed within the top 10. Great Britain and Ireland placed third, Australia placed fourth and Sweden rounded out the top five. Borocz and Connelly-Eiswerth proudly represented the U.S., the NFPGA and the Jacksonville area! In other news, Greg Koch, who recently competed in the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, will be taking to the Wanamaker Course at the PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie for the 46th National Car Rental Assistant PGA Professional Championship. Koch, as well as Matthew Chen and Dalton Bartlett will compete from November 17-20th after qualifying for the tournament following their top 3 finishes in this summer’s NFPGA Assistant Professional Championship. All month long, our veterans are in the swing of things with various PGA HOPE sessions underway throughout our section! And with Veterans Day this month, we are excited to take part in the PGA National Day of HOPE! We’re raising funds for our 5 PGA Hope programs until Veterans Day on November 11th. Our state has a large military population, and we are grateful to serve them with this program, all while focusing on expanding our sessions throughout the region. Lastly, it is a big month of Section tournaments! 12 Professionals in our Section will strive to reclaim the cup as Team North Florida takes on the South Florida PGA at the Senior Challenge Cup on November 9-10th. One of the Section’s most anticipated events, the Pro-Scratch, will take place on November 17th at Palma Ceia Golf & Country Club, and the Porter Cup will be held just a few days later on November 21st!
