Summer is complete and we have moved onto the Fall Tournament Season. Locally it is the girls high school golf season so the ladies will be playing a lot of 9-hole matches and trying to get ready for the CIF Championship. It is key when you are managing the high school season to make time to get some practice in between all those matches. Some players get much better during high school because of all the extra play, but some players will get worse if they are slightly off with fundamentals and they don’t make the time to keep sharp. The Fall Season overall is a great time for some to get the Tournament Experience they need in the 2-Day Weekend Events. The Fall season mirrors what it is like to be on a college golf team. You have to manage your school work, short days, and then competing on weekends. This will teach you how to manage it for your college golf future. When you can play a practice round on Friday before your tourna ments but this may not always be possible so be sure to do your online research on the courses to help you still feel somewhat prepared for the events. As best you can you should check your school schedule and plan to compete on weekends that don’t conflict much with big tests or important school work. There are a lot of opportunities to compete at many college level and professional level courses on the FCG Tour this Fall.
For other players the Fall may be the best time for you to work with your coach and make a serious plan to improve over the Fall months by working on your game. Use the short afternoons and evenings to improve your technical skills and then continue to play and practice on the weekends. If you get the schoolwork done during the week you can maximize your practice time on the weekdays. I know I made it a point that if it was light out I was golfing during the Fall and utilizing some of the night lit ranges in San ExpectationsDiego. during the Fall should lower a bit because it’s not like summer where you are playing a ton and have less distractions from school. Of course you want to play your best but know that it may be a little tougher to be razor sharp in the Fall months. We will also see weather change from the summer heat to cooler days, and brisk mornings, and some rain. All of these elements are good for you to get used to for competition. You wanna be the strongest competitor in all conditions and never have an excuse for poor play. I hope you have an amazing 2022 Fall Season! If you have any questions please email us at info@futurechampionsgolf.com SEASON

FALL
IS HERE!
Chris Smeal, PGA 2019 SCPGA AwardDevelopmentPlayerWinner
Coming from a big family, (6 children in 7 and a half years) being number 4-right in the middle of the pack, has it’s pros and cons but you certainly learn many valuable life lessons. Big families actually affords you the privilege of learning from your sibling’s successes and mistakes. These life experiences are invaluable and shape you as an adult later on in life and can actually give you a competitive advantage. To survive in a big family, mental toughness is either learned or inherited. Mental toughness can be competitive advantage ap plied proactively on the greens and off the course for any golfer trying to grow their game.
My father was my idol, the one I looked up too and the one that instilled the values that shaped and prepared me and my sibling’s for life’s challenges. When you find out your 9 year old daughter is diagnosed with a ma lignant brain tumor, those mental toughness skills pay huge dividends dealing with very challenging situation when making potential life changing decisions for her health. Did I ever get hit with a life-threatening chal lenge, but was prepared to take it head on thanks to those life lessons, especially mental toughness learned in my younger years. He was constantly instilling in us to “be a leader not a follower” and there wasn’t a day we didn’t hear about the Golden Rule! “Treat other’s like you want to be treated”. Some people march to a different beat, well Mike Waddell is on his mission at warp speed in achieving success, inspiring others and reaching out to help others. Mike is highly sought after professional and transforms any environment with a proactive mindset of “EXPECT SUCCESS” at every institution that is blessed to recruit him. Whenever Mike starts a new opportunity at anoth er institution, blessed to recruit him, he is immediately picking up the phone and making that life changing call to me “let’s get another FOJ adoptee”. I met Mike Waddell back in 2009 while he was working for the University of Cincinnati football team. Mike is one of those individuals that lets his actions speak louder than words when it comes time to helping FOJ and all the children battling pediatric cancer. He is the Ultimate NEDvocate and has demonstrated a track record with his ability to inspire others and improve their quality of life. From Cincinnati to Towson, MD to Richmond to
Texas and now NC. The lives he has touched is off the charts. Here is a little of Mike’s journey with FOJ and his ability to NEDvocate 24/7 365. Meet-Mike Waddell!
EXPECT SUCCESS. I feel so blessed to have crossed paths and watch him shine his bright light for positive change. If you are reading this article, I challenge you to reach out to Mike Waddell at Campbell University and thank him for all the lives he has changed over the years for FOJ children battling the beast. That call will be an experience for anyone who reaches out. Mike can add one more title to his distinguished list of titles-Ultimate NEDvocate!

“My first exposure to FRIENDS OF JACLYN (FOJ) and the Murphy’s came back in the Spring of 2009. Like many, I watched a segment of HBO REAL SPORTS with my family and I were blown away by Jaclyn’s story. I knew that I had to get involved and more importantly, get our athletes at the University of Cincinnati en gaged. Bearcats Football was RED HOT from 20072010 under the leadership of then head coach, Brian Kelly, who’s wife, Pacqui, was a cancer survivor. I felt that FOJ would resonate with the Kelly’s and that I could have a forceful advocate in our head coach to get this off the ground. We reached out to Denis and within a few weeks, had a call that launched what has been a 13 year, and 4-time engagement relationship for me and FOJ. At Cincinnati, we adopted a young man named Mitch Stone. Mitch was an incredible inspiration to our ath letes, and to the entire Cincinnati community. Unfortu nately, Mitch earned his wings but had a lasting impact on Bearcat football program and the University stu dent body. A few years later I moved on from UC and became the Director of Athletics at Towson University in Baltimore, MD. We adopted Tyler Bloom and who struggles every day with the side effects from chemo therapy and radiation treatments. They are long lasting and devastating, but you would never no that from Tyler’s infectious smile. In 2016 I moved from college sports to NASCAR, as the Vice President of Richmond Raceway. Knowing that Tyler was a big fan of cars I felt that he would really enjoy that vibe so we named him our CHIEF KID OFFICER and hosted him at our Spring 2018 race. Race driver Mini Tyrell, his family and crew were instrumental in making Tyler feel like a king for the day at Rich mond. Tyler touched many race fans demonstrating his strength at the track and his over positivity dealing with a life threatening challenge. Then in the fall of 2021, I was the President of the Allen Americans Professional Hockey (ECHL) we worked with Denis and Jaclyn on making a relationship with a young man from the DFW Metroplex, Noah Nicosia. Mike Waddell wears many hats and lives up to every label, “elevator, innovator, mentor, motivator and cre ative visionary who enthusiastically guides institutions and athletics programs to exceed expectations and

As of 2022, Club It Forward is expanding its reach to benefit Afghani refugees, particularly young girls who’ve sought sanctuary in the United States. Milan and I are committed to inspiring others to see possi bility everywhere they go, no matter where they live, where they are from, or how they got there – just like we do. By partnering with Afghani refugee organi zations in the U.S., we are actively raising awareness, funds, and equipment to welcome new members from the Afghan community into the golf community.
Club It Forward was always meant to be a “full swing” endeavor, a service oriented effort with the long game in mind. However, last year, a break in our trajectory Onarose.August 31st, American troops carried out the largest airlift in U.S. history: evacuating over 120,000 U.S. citizens, citizens of allies, and Afghan allies of the United States. For all Americans, this event conjured a mixture of emotions. To me and my family, it meant our closest relatives’ lives were changing forever.
IT FORWARD
To be mere blocks away from my favorite pastime is partially what inspired me to take up the game. It’s something I’ve always loved about my city. It’s also something that I do not take for granted. By age five, I was begging my father and grandfather to take me with them on their Saturday morning golf outings. Their jovial banter, affectionate camarade rie, and friendly competition, all enjoyed in the great outdoors, called to me even when words like “birdie,” “bogey,” and “shank” were still a foriegn language to my young ears.
Golf is for everyone. That’s why my visibility as an Afghan matters. Because of this, it is my sincerest goal to be the first collegiate Afghan golfer in the United States. Never has it been more important to bring con scious awareness to, not only the sport of golf, but to its commitment to inclusivity. For me, my sister, and all players of diverse backgrounds, I will continue to play with this mindset. It motivates each and every swing I Mytake.name, Mizara, is derived from a city in Afghanistan: Mizar. I love my name and what it stands for. It is the essence of who I am. From Mizar to Las Vegas, and everywhere in between, it is my promise to Club It By,Forward.Mizara Norton
I can still feel the exhilaration as “Gramps” pulled into our driveway on the very first outing they agreed to take me on. With my U.S. Kids Golf clubs, the aqua blue leather strap swung over my tiny shoulder, I grinned from ear to ear. They took me to TPC Summerlin that day, a five minute drive from my family home. By the time I’d “played” a few holes (and rode shotgun in the golf cart the remainder of the day), my sister and mother joined to celebrate my debut with lunch at the Theclubhouse.thrillof that first day has never waned. Like so many other young players understand, when you find something that lights such an intoxicating fire inside you, you want to share it with as many people as possi ble. This is the exact reason my sister and I were so ad amant about starting an organization that would allow more young people entrance into the golf community.
Growing up in Las Vegas, Nevada, golf was all around me. Drive down any Las Vegas boulevard, and sitting near are the rolling hills of beautiful green courses.
A Promise To, CLUB

Club It Forward officially launched in 2018, a non-profit 501c3 dedicated to provide the equipment, funds, and opportunity for young people across the Las Vegas Valley, regardless of economic background, to learn, play, and love the game of golf. Since then, through word of mouth, the power of social media, and our relentless determination, Club It Forward has raised enough funds and equipment donations to outfit hundreds of Las Vegas students with the necessary accessories to play thousands of rounds of golf.
So, while the Ramadan observance and Eid celebra tions of Summer 2021 passed without event, by August, the way I wanted to express my heritage began to Mychange.ethnicity was never a badge I wore loudly to the world. The shadowy and sinister stereotypes of the ear ly 2000s, perpetuated before my birth, a likely factor in our family’s demure dignity. But as the world watched Afghani families, not unlike my mother’s, being torn apart, fearing for the fate of the nation, I no longer wished to stay silent. Never once in my life did I doubt my ability to play golf. It was always, quite literally, all around me. By contrast, there is only one golf course in the entire nation of Afghanistan, The Kabul Golf Club. It also never crossed my mind as a naive five year old that a simple game might be off limits to me because of my gender. I as sumed, and rightfully so, easy admittance into a space inhabited by my male relatives. Sadly, golf in Afghani stan is a sport open only to men.
In 1979, my mother, her sister, mother and father es caped Afghanistan as Soviet Union forces invaded their homeland. On a visa connected to a relative already living in Las Vegas, they immigrated to Nevada, leaving all they’d ever known behind. Working in casinos, learning English on the fly, and struggling to assimilate into a new land, their legacy has always been a point of pride in my upbringing as a first generation American.

NCAA Division I Transfer Process
Additionally, after COVID-19 began the NCAA granted an eligibility extension for all affected players. Since March 12th, 112 players have entered the transfer portal, 52 of those student-athletes with hopes to participate as graduate students. In 2018-2019, there were considerably fewer transfers, 359 total, 220 on the men’s side and 139 on the wom en’s side, respectively. For Men, 154 of those were in D1, 66 were D2 and 0 were D3. For Women, 98 of those were in D1, 41 were D2 and 0 were D3.

3. Transfers are initially listed in the portal as “active”, but administrators must change that status to “matriculated” if the SA has officially transferred or “withdrawn” if the SA has changed his/her mind and plans on returning.

In October 2018, the NCAA modified the transfer rule from “permission to contact” to “notification to transfer” and made it much easier for student-athletes to freely transfer to another school. Many athletes feel the “grass is greener on the other side” and this has sparked a game of musical chairs in the world of college golf. Since then we’ve seen a surge of players in the portal and about an 8% transfer rate across all sports. By the Numbers During the second season of the online transfer portal, the 2019-2020 school year, the NCAA saw a significant uptick in the numbers of transfers. Last school year alone, there were 534 total transfers in golf, 346 of those were in Men’s golf and 188 were on the Women’s side. For Men, 204 of those were in D1, 120 were D2 and 22 were D3, respectively. For Women, 113 of those were in D1, 73 were D2 and 2 were D3, respectively.

4. While in the portal, SA’s are subject to their schools reducing or taking away their athletics aid. This is positive for coaches concerned with having schol arship money tied up in a SA who no longer wants to be a part of the team.
*SA= Essentially,student-athleteinorderto initiate the transfer, all a player has to do is notify their athletic department they would like to transfer and within 48 hours they will be added to the online transfer portal. The recent rule change
1. SA* asks Coach or School compliance administra tor to be placed in the transfer portal, at which point the school has 2 business days to do so.
2. Once in the portal, SA information is available to every NCAA Coach via the NCAA Apps website.
THE EMERGENCE OF THE TRANSFER PORTAL
4. Keep a healthy relationship with your Coach/Team – it’s important to note that the transfer process is much less frightening when you have people to assist you. No one wants “skeletons in their closet” during the transfer process, and no Coaches are interested in recruiting someone who isn’t a “team player”.
To South Florida
If you are considering a transfer here’s my advice:
To Florida Atlantic
• Connor Futrell (JR) – transferring from Troy To UAB
2. Learn the transfer & eligibility rules - When you begin to think about going to a new school, un derstand that the rules are different depending on whether you want to transfer to an NCAA D1,2, or 3, and whether you are currently enrolled at a two-year or a four-year school. In some cases, con ference rules can be more restrictive than NCAA rules.
To the University of Florida –
• Carlos Bustos (SR) – transferring from Lynn, DII na tional champ 2x, top20 at Latin American Amateur
• Drew Mathers (SR)– transferring from Huntingdon, Jack Nicklaus award finalist, 6 career wins, and top 3 in 10 of his last 12 events.
To Ohio State
To Florida State University
Transfer Rule – What’s changed?
• Ian Peng (SO) – transferring from VCU
To Texas
• Will the risk be worth the move? (ex. Player wants to transfer who is on 75% scholarship, and new school only has 30% to offer) APR impact – programs are penalized if a player doesn’t finish a semester. Note: this will not affect play ers who transfer in between semesters.
d. Why didn’t I find my best-fit school the first time?
• Jonathan Brightwell (SR)– transferring from UNCG, 2 wins in 6 starts in 2019-2020 season
Contact us if you would like us to provide an assess ment on your current situation or qualified advice regarding transfers in college golf.
• Davis Lamb (SR) – transferring from Notre Dame
• Frankie Capan (FR) – transferring from Alabama
To UCF
• Transfers are visible – the online transfer portal is easy to access and helps streamline the process by being live 24/7.
Notable transfers for 2020:
“There are Pros and Cons to the Transfer Portal. For the players and coaches, the portal provides an opportuni ty for a fresh start to those who need it. In my opinion, it will affect even junior golfers. Due to the pandemic, coaches have seen how easy it is to find really talented, more experienced players through the portal. Because of that, there’s not as much incentive to bring in a big freshman class.” - Lee White, Head Coach, Florida “ISouthernseethe transfer portal as a positive tool for the student-athlete and the coach. It empowers the stu dent-athlete in the transfer process. For the coach, it allows us to see who wants to transfer and how to con tact them. If the student-athlete has already transferred or decides to stay at their current school, coaches can see that right away.” - Grant Wallace, Head Coach, Kenyon College (DIII)
• Giovanni Manzoni (SR) – transferring from Lynn, DII 2nd Team All-American, 71.14 scoring average
c. How important is the ability to be close to home and see my “team”?
• Hunter Ostrom (SR) – transferring from Notre Dame, posted the lowest season stroke average in program history with 70.68 strokes per round. Played in all 19 possible rounds.
“In my opinion the transfer portal was not as big a deal in golf as other sports because we already had the one-time transfer rule which allowed players to transfer to another school and play immediately. However, now that we are living with Covid-19 and all current players were given an extra year of eligibility, I think the trans fer portal will be an invaluable tool for golfers who are stuck in a logjam of players on swollen rosters look ing for playing time. I think it will also be a boon for coaches looking for good players from higher ranked programs that can’t offer enough playing time for all their athletes.” - J.T. Higgins, Head Coach, Texas A&M
• Elis Svard (SR)– transferring from Cal State – Mon terey, top10 in all 6 starts, 5 career wins To Oklahoma
What are Coaches saying about the transfer portal?
• Players’ “power” vs. Coaches power – players have more power than ever and control their own destiny
Recruiting “eyes” – Coaches didn’t really look at the transfer portal as a viable way to recruit talent but now there will be many teams utilizing the portal as ways to obtain players.
• Eugenio Chacarra (SO)– transferring from Wake Forest
21
• Max O’ Hagan (SR)– transferring from Florida Tech, finished top8 in 6 of 7 starts. Was a finalist for the Jack Nicklaus award this year and was a semifinal ist the past two seasons
• Leo Oyo (SO)– transferring from San Diego State
1. Write down your long-term vision – It’s imperative to acknowledge what you are looking for – ask yourself:a.What am I really looking for? A better team environment, social culture, practice facilities?
removes the step where the Coach has to “give permis sion” for that player to speak with other schools.
To Oregon
• Online Portal – In the past, coaches didn’t know who was transferring so they didn’t call players looking to transfer. Now, Coaches have the online portal with NCAA ID #’s and contact information at their fingertips.
• Vincent Norman (SR) – transferring from Georgia Southwestern
• Level(ed) playing field - Bigger schools have more recruiting “pull” but smaller schools will now have a clear picture of which SA’s are transferring and have the ability to make phone calls.
• Owen Avrit (FR) – transferring from Long Beach State To FCGU
To Oklahoma State
b. What is my long-term plan? Do I want to be a lawyer or doctor? Will I turn professional after college? How much this decision influence my decision?
3. Stick it out – many players transfer prematurely af ter a semester or after a year. My advice is to stick it out for at least a year or two. Your credits are likely to transfer if you transfer before Junior year.
TBD: Recruiting implications Scholarship $• Will there be enough $ for these transfers?
5. Be realistic – understand most Coaches are looking for transfers who will make an immediate impact on their program, have good grades, and quality leadership skills. Remember, transferring “up” is much harder than transferring “down”.

PLAYER of the month JULY 2022
BOYS COLLEGE PREP
This is the first time we have named two players as Co-Player of the Month. These best friends from Thai land had an adventure while here in the U.S. both good and bad. At the FCG International Thitikarn shot a 3-day total 210, -3 for the title of Champion. Jiratchaya took 3rd place shooting a 3-day total 212, -1. At the FCG Callaway World Junior Championship they reversed roles. This time Jiratchaya posts a 3-day total of 204, -8 for the title of World Champion. Thitikarn not to be outdone, shot 206, -6 to try to stay close but could only muster a T3 finish. The amazing part is what happened in between the tournaments. During that week they had both tested positive for Covid. Luckily, they both recovered in time for the second event. At the end, they both shot 416, -9 over 6 days. Making them the first FCG Co-Players of the Month for August 2022.

Thailand, Eyow made the most of his trip here to the U.S. At the FCG International he posted a 3-day total of 216, even par and a 2nd Place finish. But not stopping there, the following week he went out and shot a 3-day total of 209, -7 at the FCG World Series Global Cup. This was good enough for a 2-shot victory and title of Champion. With his outstanding play, he also earns the title of FCG Player of the Month for August 2022.

The ThoughtLast
By Dean Gregory – August 22, 2022 Summer is over. Which means that your peak golf season is as well. No more travelling, at least to far off places. Your travel now consists of going from home to school, then back home again. You get to hangout with friends that you didn’t get a chance to during the summer because you were playing a tournament somewhere and if you weren’t doing that, you were practicing for hours on end. Parents also get a break from golf too. They can now go back to their normal work routine. Then the thought creeps in, “What about college re cruiting? If I’m not playing in tournaments, how are the coaches going to see me?” Rest assured; coaches are not doing anything about recruiting either. They have their teams that they need to worry about. But does that mean that get you get to take it easy? Of course, it doesn’t. The other part of preparing yourself to be recruited is what you need to take care of now.
GPA, SAT, ACT, AP, and in some cases PSAT are ac ronyms you need to work on. And like golf these are things that you have to practice for. Yes, this is the first part of the label, “Student-athlete”. Whether you’re in high school or college, first and foremost, you are a student and that’s something that you should do as well, if not better than your golf. If you’re not in high school you won’t have to think about it yet (Keyword: “yet”) but, you will in the near future. The hardest part of this time of year, is that the days start to get shorter. Which means less golf practice. For some, this is golf season for your school. So at least you have that to keep yourselves sharp. But those that don’t, you have to do it on your own. Time manage ment will be your best friend. Even though it may seem difficult, create and plan a balance of the things you have to do. It will make your life easier. So with all that said, I wish you good luck, study hard, practice golf hard and enjoy the times with friends and classmates. Welcome back to school!
