FUTURE CHAMPIONS GOLF MAGAZINE

Dear Junior Golf Community,

It’s hard to believe this is already our 20th year operating Future Champions Golf programs and the start of our 16th full year hosting multi day golf tournaments. Thank you all for your support of the Tour and the programs that we offer. 2023 looks to be an exciting year of growth on all levels of the Tour. We are expanding Tournament Operations in other regions of the United States. We have partnered with more than 30 other tours around the world for qualifying events to bring the best players in the world to the 15th Annual FCG Callaway World Junior Golf Championship that will be played July 17-19, 2023. We are excited to announce this year’s event will feature 850 junior golfers ages 7-18 from over 50 countries and will be played on 12 Championship Golf Courses. We will also have a new host hotel for this year’s event.

Other exciting things to note is the return of all of our FCG World Series Events with several new events including an event at the #1 course in Arkansas. We have established the FCG Iconic Ocean Series that will feature our best world series events held at courses along the ocean. Stay tuned for more about that exciting event.

Also this year we are starting the FCG International Team Championship that will be played a few days prior to the start of the FCG International Championship. Did you know the FCG international is the largest annual OPEN event in junior golf? This means you can just sign up and play in one of the world’s largest and most exciting world events in junior golf. You do however need to meet the scoring requirements listed on the website.

There is so much more to talk about but we will announce more in future emails and on our blog and social media. Stay connected with us on the blog, here in our monthly magazine, and our new podcast which kicks off later this month again for 2023! If you have any questions or comments please contact us anytime.

Mystic Creek Golf Club EL DORADO, ARKANSAS

Making its debut event in Arkansas, Mystic Creek Golf Club will play host to the FCG Southeast Championship.

It is the home of the Epson Tour’s Murphy USA El Dorado Shootout and the Duck Commander’s Intercollegiate Championship.

of being at Augusta National. The Champion Bermuda greens are domed with runoffs which will remind you of being in Pinehurst. The par 72 course has six tees with yardages that range from 5,106 – 7,529 yards. To add to the challenge, water comes in to play on eight holes and steep bunkers to make you think about where you need to target your shots.

Smeal’s Coaching Tips

Here is a Tournament Round Summary I did in March 2022 at a Member Guest Tournament in Arizona. The important things to know here on the summary is how I tie in the feelings, emotions, decision making and attitude in each hole. It is key to know what really happened so you can improve. The next day I shot a 65 and improved on all areas that I commented on during the Round 1 Summary. I hope this helps take your game to another level!

SUMMARY DAY 1

1. Perfect drive, sand wedge skipped and rolled 18 feet past, underead birdie putt, tap in par

2. One groove thin 6 iron to 20 feet from 200 yard par 3, underread putt again and lacked speed, then weak par putt. Bogey. Do not use green reading book anymore, and don’t listen to Joey he can’t read greens

3. Drive in right rough, was worried about left miss. 3 wood just short right of green, super flip shot only option and hot to 15 feet, underread putt, par

4. Perfect 3 wood, gap wedge from 119 to 12 feet, mis putt on low side again.

5. Weak right 5 wood into rough, should have hit 3 wood and commit more with no fear. Awesome 7 iron to front fringe 15 feet from hole. Lipped out, made par

6. Great drive, lob wedge from 91 yards to 10 feet, trusted joeys rear again and missed low again. Stop listening to him. Go with what you see and trust it.

7. Great 9 iron from 151 to 20 feet past pin, underread putt again, huge break! Tap in par

8. Perfect 5 wood, 135 yard pitching wedge to 8 feet, played too much break and missed putt high. Was best putt of the day tho! Par

9. Great 5 wood to left first cut, carved 5 wood from 220 that hit a rock and kicked back in hazard. Looked perfect. Shouldn’t have taken so much speed off it. Flopped from gravel to slope and got bad break for ball to stay on top of slope. 2 putts for par

1. Perfect 6 iron draw to 20 feet, underread putt again, par

2. Perfect long drive, 4 iron from 224 to just short of green, putted through fringe to 12 feet, made putt! Birdie

3. Great 3 wood center, gap wedge to 15 feet, great putt lip out on high side. Par

4. Solid 5 wood off tee but should have hit 3 wood as I laid to far back. 7 iron to just left of green. Chip to an inch. Par

5. Driver center, 93 yards hit low sand wedge cause into wind and can’t go long. Ball spun back to 20 feet, underread again

6. Worst swing of day. Push 9 iron to 30 feet, 2 putt for par

7. Great 3 wood center, tried to cut a 6 iron low but pulled it to left side of green. Great two putt. Should have hit 7 iron full instead here.

8. Terrible uncommitted 5 wood swing with no clear plan, X

9. Great drive left center of fairway, said I would stuff it and I did. Hit gap wedge from 114 to pin high 10 feet. Read putt perfectly. Great execution. Birdie. I’m the hottest player on the course now just ran out of holes. Onto tomorrow.

GOALS FOR TOMORROW:

1. Better putting warm up and play more break, don’t listen to Joey.

2. Have a clear plan every shot and be committed.

3. Hit first all day and play a birdie game with Joey. I usually make more birdies when I feel I’m playing against him not with him.

4. Keep swinging well and stick to good athletic set up and smooth rhythm.

TURNING LEMONS INTO LEMONADE

Each month I have the privilege and honor to share another NEDvocate’s journey’s in a few words for junior golfers, family and friends who view FCG’s monthly digital magazine article in the NED zone. During the 18 years on this journey, approaching 1000 adoption’s for children battling pediatric brain tumors and childhood cancer, I “NEVER” met a coach who had battled a brain tumor and is coaching at the highest level. Meet Raegan Pebley, head coach of Division 1 TCU women’s basketball team. Her story is inspiring and she is epitome of how a NEDvocate makes a difference in this world.

When a Doctor in their starched white coat tells you, “You have a brain tumor” your world is literally turned upside down and the immediate reaction is to attempt to process those words and your new journey. It’s mind numbing being dealt this horrifying news. Raegan was given these dreaded words and took lemons and made lemonade to inspire others battling the beast. Raegan has chosen to embrace her scars and shed a light on the beast for others. The TCU Horned Frogs head coach is the pure definition of a NEDvocate-an inspiring person who improves the quality of life for anyone battling a disease or cancer. Leaders develop young men and women to make a difference in this world. This is leadership personified at another level. “I was terrified of what a scar was going to look like,” Pebley said. “Half my hair was gone on this side. I was humbled at how vain I was about those things. I was extremely swollen and bruised on the side of my face as well. I had to come to terms with extending grace to myself, allowing myself to heal, and honoring the journey I had gone through and the bravery that I was filled up with by so many other people who encouraged me and prayed for me.”

There is no play book to react or process the words, “You have a brain tumor.” Raegan’s inspiring passion to encourage others to take the beast head on with courage and grace has changed many lives.

Including Ellie, the Horned Frogs newest Friends of Jaclyn adoptee of the TCU women’s basketball team. When it came time to find 11 year old Ellie, who was battling a brain tumor a team in Texas, Raegan and the Horned frogs were all in to embrace her as a member of the women’s Horned Frog basketball team. Raegan has walked in Ellie’s shoes, both know too well the devastating side effects of battling a brain tumor. I have experienced many incredible relationships amongst teams and our FOJ adoptee’s over a decade plus. Raegan and Ellie are the first time in 18 years, I ever had a head coach who experienced a brain tumor and adopted a child with one. “When you have a surgery like this, there’s a lot that goes into it... It’s more than just, ‘Let’s get the tumor out.’ They cut your jaw muscle, they move nerves around and I’m pretty numb from here to here,” Pebley said, pointing from her head to her cheek.

Raegan has proactively taken her scar and turned it into a bright light to inspire those battling the beast. “I wasn’t going to hide it because I really felt like this is part of my story,” Pebley said. “It’s an opportunity to show bravery. This is making me better. This is not just for me. If somebody can see me be proud and turn my scar into something beautiful and something I’m proud of, hopefully, that helps someone else feel good about what they’ve gone through, whether it’s a literal scar or a figurative scar.”

Raegan and Ellie, TCU newest FOJ adoptee both have experienced the side effects of their scar. Both have turned their scars and healing process into bright lights that inspire and put perspective for anyone battling the beast. Two amazing Horned frogs making a difference on and off the court with their scars. Both Blessed Horned Frogs-scars inculded!

WHY YOU SHOULD CONTACT 30+ COLLEGE COACHES:

Let’s dive in and discuss 3 main reasons why you should contact at least 30 or more college coaches. I have this discussion quite often with recruits seeking advice because they aren’t seeing results from their contact efforts. Typically when a recruits shows me a list of schools, the majority, if not all of them are unrealistic for the given recruiting timeline and they haven’t reached out to enough schools yet.

While I am an advocate for having big goals to play at your dream school, you have to be cautious about what percentage of dream schools vs realistic schools you have on your list. This not only leads to a lack of coach interest, but it also creates a lot of anxiety and a decrease in confidence as you get mostly negative responses or just no response at all.

One of the reasons I suggest contacting a large number of coaches is to give yourself a chance to have interviews and conversations with coaches at schools that aren’t your top choices. It takes practice and feedback to get better with interviews and answering questions, so give yourself some opportunities to fail when it doesn’t matter as much. I do not recommend that you waste a coach’s time if you decide you don’t plan to attend their school, but give yourself a chance to at least learn more before closing that opportunity.

The second reason you should reach out to 30 or more coaches is to ensure you get enough realistic options on your list to see your efforts start to pay off. Even if you think you are being realistic, odds are there are still factors you aren’t taking into account so go ahead and expand your list. This may mean you have to expand your radius from home, ideal weather, division level, size of school, academic rigor, or other factors, but once you start to get some positive feedback where

you are at the top of a coach’s recruiting list you will feel much more confident and less anxious about your options.

Lastly, the more options you have, the more leverage you will have once it’s time to consider your offers and make a decision. If you don’t have any offers then you will find yourself waiting and wondering what to do next. Receiving even just one offer gives you some flexibility to discuss your standing with other coaches and put a bit of the power in your hands to get closer to making a decision. And if you put in the effort you may find yourself with multiple offers to consider and the increased chance to find the best fit possible!

And as with most parts of this process the number of schools you will need to contact is dependent on many factors. When I am providing general advice and tips on steps of the process I am trying to consider what most players will tend to do on their own and why they may not get the coach responses they are expecting. So if a player takes the time to initially contact 30+, then hopefully they expand their reach to include at least 1520 realistic options in order to then have 7-10 programs that they can focus on where they have some positive communication going.

If you still don’t find your efforts paying off with your current list of schools then keep expanding your list while working hard on your game and try to identify areas of needed improvement with your communication skills, on course demeanor, and attitude towards the process. Stay proactive but patient!

PLAYER of the month december 2022

BOYS COLLEGE PREP

Caden Breisch

Class of 2025

What a December to remember! That’s what Caden should be telling himself. It started out at FCG National Tour Fall Championship where he shot a 2-day total 140, -4 and found himself in a playoff for the championship. He would have to settle for 2nd place. But that wasn’t the case at the 5th Annual FCG Boys College Showcase. Going into the 2nd and final round, he was just sitting on a one stroke lead. Making the turn at -1 he knew he had turn it on if we wanted to solidify the championship. And turning it on he did. Finishing the back nine at 5-under, he finished the tournament at -9, securing his title of Champion. Going 13-under in just two events with a 2nd and a 1st place finish, Caden without a doubt earns FCG Player of the Month for December 2022.

GIRLS COLLEGE PREP

Amy Lee

Class of 2026

Coming out of the cold of British Columbia, Amy spends a couple of weeks in Southern California. Definitely making the trip well worth the effort. After shooting a +2, good enough for 2nd place at the rain shortened 3rd Annual FCG Girls College Showcase. She wasn’t satisfied. At the 16th Annual FCG National Championship she found herself behind the leader by 5-strokes after the first day. Posting a +1, 73 on the second round, she still managed to cut the lead down to end up 3-strokes off the leader and tied for second. Still in the hunt, she knew all she had to do was keep doing what she had been doing the past few rounds. And that’s exactly what she did. On the final day, she went -1, 71 for the day on which she was able to take the lead and championship by 3-strokes. Consistent play and her 2nd and 1st place finishes earns Amy the title of FCG Player of the Month for December 2023.

A NEW YEAR… OR IS IT REALLY?

Every January 1st starts the beginning of a new year, at least that is what the calendar says. All the calendars start from the month of January and end in December. But for most of you the first day in January is actually the middle of the year. How is that possible, you ask?

Allow me to enlighten you about what the reality of your calendar is. For the better part of all of you, your year really starts in either July or August. From the first day of kindergarten to the last day of college, you follow what is called an, “Academic or School Calendar.” Which for the moment, roughly started in August 2022 and will end in July 2023. But wait you ask, school

ends in June. Well, think of July as a bonus month to do whatever you want to do before the “School Year” starts again in August.

July is also a month used for preparation of moving on to the next level of your life. Kindergarten to 1st grade, 6th grade to middle school, middle school to high school. But even with all of those, they are still just preparation for the biggest next level step… high school to college.

For a regular student it could be quite the culture shock when they get to whatever school they worked so hard to get to. Luckily, as a student-athlete, making the transition to college life should be a little easier. Will you still go through all of the anxieties of a regular student? Of course, you will. For most of you, it will be the first time that you will be on your own.

Here’s a short list of things or situations that will change that can get you to be anxious:

1. Your parents don’t live under the same roof as you are anymore.

2. You have to fend for yourself when it comes to having a meal.

3. You have to do your own laundry.

4. Learn to live with new people that you don’t know at first.

And the list goes on and on.

The Last Thought

But because you’re a student-athlete, you have a support team that can help you along the way. That support team is the same team that you practice and play golf together with. There will be members of the team who will be just as new as you to the seasoned veterans of being a senior. All of the upper-class athletes will have already experienced what you will be going through when you arrive. It’s generally a good idea to learn from them. Moving on can be scary, fun, stressful and exciting. You will be fine. So, when your year starts to come to a close. Use that time to prepare for the next level as much as you can. But just remember, no matter how much you prepare, you won’t get the full experience until you’re a part of it.

The full experience of your life journey starts with you.
