GOLF MAGAZINE

Dear Junior Golf Community,

We would like to thank you for reading our 17th issue! It is hard to believe what was just an idea in early March 2021 has turned into a full year of content driven to feature the happenings on the FCG Tour and to inspire junior golfers and help parents along the way. It has been a lot of work and a lot of help from many different people and we thank everyone for their support. We look forward to an even better 2022 year with the program and the FCG Magazine. We are always up to hearing from you so please drop us a message if you have any ideas or any comments to make the magazine and the FCG program better.

In each issue of the magazine, we have goals to inspire junior golfers and educate parents on the process of becoming a great player and more importantly, how to love the game. We think golf is so important for families and wish every family could golf together for a lifetime. As a parent, what more could you want than being able to spend several hours out on the golf course with your kids.

As always, we hope you play the game with passion, keep your head up high, walk with a purpose and enjoy your time outdoors playing golf.

Chris Smeal President and Founder of Future Champions Golf Head Coach at the FCG Academy in Stadium Golf Center

Kapolei Golf Club

By Dean Gregory –September 25 2022

November 19 & 20, 2022 the long awaited FCG World Series Hawaii Championship at the Kapolei Golf Club which was home to the 2021 LPGA’s “Lotte Championship”, PGA Champions Tour “Pacific Links Championship” from 2012 to 2014 and the LPGA “Hawaiian Open” from 1996 to 2001.

Designed by architect Ted Robinson, best known for Sahalee Country Club, Kapolei Golf Club is highly regarded for its magnificent beauty, floral gardens and strategic golf holes. Meandering over 190 rolling acres

of a former sugar cane plantation, Kapolei’s elevated greens, 80 bunkers and five lakes provide delightful tactical challenges. All of the greens are visible from the tee boxes, and Kapolei’s wide fairways and generous greenside chipping areas deliver a high level of overall playability for golfers of all levels. Oh and by the way, did I mention...it’s Hawaii.

Smeal’s Coaching Tips

TOURNAMENT PLAY

#1 – They are TRYING TOO HARD to play well! Don’t force things. Don’t try to be perfect. Kids should practice and get ready for tournaments and allow their game to show up. This is their opportunity to shine and most of the time they TRY to do something different that what they’ve practiced. It is important that they trust their preparation and are allowed to go have fun on the golf course.

#2 – YOU MAY BE APPLYING TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THEM. YES! I Said It! SORRY! But seriously when I played junior golf my parents weren’t there breathing down my neck. They talked to me when I got home and that’s about it. When you walk the fairways and watch them play ABSOLUTELY DO NOT LOOK DISAPPOINTED IN ANY SHOTS! GOLF IS HARD! They feed off of your energy and if the energy is negative you shouldn’t be out there. I tell all my clients this is a team effort and at all times COLLECTIVELY we need to be trying to get better to make the TEAM STRONGER and above all getting the PLAYER STRONGER!

#3 – They Take Lessons too close to their Next Tournament and don’t have enough time to make the changes. Make sure they are communicating with their coach about when their tournaments are scheduled. Too many kids take lessons too close to their event which causes new thoughts, feels and info to enter their games then struggle and have to revert back to their old swing which spells disaster! REAL LIFE STORY! Last year one of my clients who I consult with from Florida was here in San Diego for our FCG International Championship. The night before the event he texted me swing videos and asked me what I saw. I said “Looks Good” He replied concerned “Are you serious? You aren’t gonna say anything?“ I replied “Not at all!” Needless to say he shot 65 the final round to claim 5th place which got him a spot in IMG Junior World and a spot on the SDSU team for the 2018 graduating class.

#4 – They don’t have a Plan in place to play better at tournaments. Tournament play requires planning, good information, and a lot of support from family and friends. Players need to be in the right mindset for tournaments, have seen the course and taken good notes on what strategy they are going to execute. Is the player optimistic at tournaments? How much doubt and fear do they have? Practice is used to eliminate those fears and doubts and be able to execute shots players trust and practice.

The second part of this is STICKING TO THE PLAN! Players that have a decent plan for a tournament sometimes deviate from that plan and try something else because of panic and frustration. Stick to your guns and remember your FIRST INSTINCT is usually right!

#5 – Too busy making excuses to play well. Any excuse is a bad excuse. All players play under the same conditions. Deal with it! Players should never complain about the weather! They should embrace it! Players should never complain about slow play! The US Open is often 6 plus hours and that’s the toughest test in golf. Players should focus on the things that they can control instead of finding excuses to not play at their best.

I hope this helps! Thanks for reading, Chris

ULTIMATE NEDVOCATE

By Dennis Murphy

Growing up playing sports for all young athletes exposes them too many different coach’s, their style and philosophies. Head coaches instill qualities that shape young athletes for the rest of their lives. These head coaches or “leaders” as I like to refer to them as, are instrumental in molding these young athletes by teaching and developing their skills on and off the field. Learning to be a team player, developing a work ethic and sacrificing for the good of the team to win are just a few qualities that are commonly found in suc cessful competitive athletes. I’ve had the privilege to witness first hand how Head Coach, Leader, and now a mother of two, Maggie Livreri Huffmaker transforms players into winners on the field but “life changers” off the field. Maggie is as humble as a person I ever met on this journey. I have been blessed to watch her coach and develop young women making a difference in this world. She has changed many children and their families lives battling the beast; from coaching at UNLV, Utah to Boise very quietly and off the radar. Maggie is in a league of her own and is the epitome of how a NEDvocate makes a significant impact on children’s lives. I look at life through a different set of lenses. Maggie is not only a phenomenal coach but a “Leader” who has developed players to make a bigger difference off the field. Game changing and Life Changing! Meet Maggie....

“Having coached collegiate softball for 15 years, I have a lengthy list of memories. Competitions, challenges, championships, all of which were incredibly reward ing, but the relationships are the things that I hold dearest to my heart. I was blessed very early on in my career to be introduced to the Friends of Jaclyn organization, and to have the opportunity to welcome a young lady to our team at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Jenna Jackson was 8 years old at the time she was diagnosed with brain cancer, and adopted by our team at UNLV. She was tiny and sick, but full of life and energy. Jenna had tremendous fight. She beat brain cancer and changed my life in the process. The opportunity I had to be around her in the hospital, to get to know her and her family, and to see my players lives changed by her, proved to be lessons I have since carried with me throughout my career and my life.

I was able to be apart of a couple of other softball programs, and in each area there seemed to be a child that needed support. FoJ helped foster that support, and encouraged me to want to do my part, and encourage others to do so as well. I’ve seen how adoptees have opened the eyes of student athletes all over the country. It’s amazing what FoJ has done and continues to do for both the children who are fighting diseases, and the student athletes who they partner with.

I’m now a mother of two, an almost two year old girl, a brand new baby boy. I left coaching to be more available as a mother and wife, but coaching will never leave me. The lessons I learned in coaching will never leave me. Looking into the eyes of my own children, I pray we never encounter the beast that is cancer. I pray that throughout their childhood and beyond, they can “live in the moment and play in the moment”. And I pray that my children will have the same fight that my dear Jenna has when they inevitably face any adversity in life.”

Maggie you are no longer off the radar. You modestly have changed so many lives on your journey. Thank you for all you do so quietly. You are a rare Nedvo cate, inspiring and changing lives for children that are battling the beast. I know all the children and their families appreciate what you have done for them but I think I have benefited more. Shining your bright light in dark places inspires me to keep helping the next child battling for their life, be adopted by a team. Beyond blessed to have crossed paths and continue on our journey helping improve the quality of life for children battling pediatric cancer. Live in the moment-Play in the moment!

COLLEGE GOLF: A PATHWAY TO THE PRO’S

By Michael J. Smith, ForeCollegeGolf // SEPTEMBER 2022

There is new meaning to golf at the collegiate level.

The PGA Tour has created a direct pipeline from college golf to the Korn Ferry Tour. Going forward, the Top 5 college Seniors in the country will have a realistic chance of streamlining their way to the PGA Tour within a few months of finishing college.

College golf is changing right in front of our eyes.

each of their final 2 years of college, 18 total

• Only Seniors will appear on the PGA Tour U rank ing each year

• Official Ranking – based on WAGR #’s, weightings TBD

• Counting Events – College events and PGA Tour Events, including majors

• Non-Counting Events – Amateur events and non-PGA

WHAT’S AT STAKE?

A. Finish Top5 – Korn Ferry status, exempt into 8-9 open full-field events, starting the NCAA Championship thru the final event of the current year

Korn Ferry Tour, players will also be exempt into the final stage of Q-School (if needed)

B. Finish 6-15 – Earn status on PGA Tour Canada/Latin/ China and also exempt thru 2nd stage of QSchool (if needed)

WHAT ARE OTHERS SAYING?

ELIGIBILITY, REQUIREMENTS & RANKING

•

A player must compete in NCAA D1

•

A player must complete all 4 years in college *(not required to get a degree)

“It’s an exciting opportunity for college players to be able to earn some professional status because of good play on the course. Over the last few years it’s clear that the top college players have games that can compete on tour so it’s nice they will be given an

•

A player must compete in at least 9 events in

opportunity compete in events without having to qualify or wait until the fall for Q-school. I think it’s definitely a great move by the PGA tour.”

- Corey Connors, PGA Tour Player, Kent State University (2014)

“Looking back, PGA Tour U could have saved me 4 or 5 years getting to the PGA tour. The inclusion of PGA Tour U is a great move by the Tour and I fully sup port the idea of opening up the Korn Ferry Tour to top college Seniors, but obviously some tweaks and adjustments will need to be made as we progress forward. PGA Tour U will hopefully take an unbiased approach instead of only handing out exemptions to players with the strongest connections or the most qualified agents.”

- Dylan Frittelli, PGA Tour Player, University of Texas (2011)

“I love the new PGA Tour U program. Rewarding the best college golfers will bring a new level of excitement to the Korn Ferry Tour and ultimately the PGA Tour, faster than ever. College golf is very strong, and college teams regularly play PGA Tour course setups. Yes, the Mid-Major players will need to win more head-to-head matchups and take advantage of weaker fields in college golf but ultimately the best players, regardless of their conference, will rise to the top”

- Lanto Griffin, PGA Tour Player, VCU (2010)

In the PGA Tour U Golf Channel article by Brentley Romine a few top Coaches spoke out: “This is an evolutionary step for college golf. It validates the hard work that everyone is putting in and celebrating guys playing really high-level golf and do ing school at the same time.”

- Stanford, Head Coach, Conrad Ray

“In other sports, there is a direct connection between college and the pros … we just haven’t had that”

- Arizona State, Head Coach, Matt Thurmond

OTHER PATHWAYS TO THE PGA TOUR

• Korn Ferry Tour

• Korn Ferry Q-School

• PGA Tour Latino America

• PGA Tour Canada - Mackenzie

• PGA Tour China

• Sponsor’s Exemptions

• European Tour

• Challenge Tour

• Other tours across the world

In the past, we’ve seen a trend of top college players leaving college, vanishing from the spotlight, then emerging on the big stage a few years later. This is mainly because of the complexity and difficulty of the PGA Tour qualifying process. This particular trend has become a real concern for college coaches, many of whom who have players questioning whether they should forgo their final year(s) of college in lieu of starting their pro careers at an earlier age.

While it’s too early to tell if the emergence of the new ranking will put more focus on the top college golfers and keep them in school for 4 years, I believe this is a great move by the PGA Tour and will prove to be advantageous for the up and coming stars of the next generation and their pathway to the PGA Tour.

Thanks for reading,

ALEX PAIN

By Dean Gregory – September 20, 2022

Golf clubs, golf balls, rangefinders, GPS, video analysis software, launch monitors, swing analyzers, golf simu lators and the list goes on and on. All of the different things to make you a “Perfect Golfer” so that you can play the “Imperfect Game”. Golfers have fallen into a trap where they worry more about spin rate, ball speed, smash factor, and the best one, whether club path is off by one degree.

Let me give you some examples:

1. I see players shoot their yardages, then hit their shots. Sometimes the result is good. But many times, the result is not. They forgot about the environment where the wind is blowing, greens start to get firm, and probably the most important one, what kind of lie they have. Then the first thing that comes into most players mind after hitting what was more than likely a good shot, but the result wasn’t, “There must be something wrong with my swing.”

2. I’ve seen players that have had their rangefind ers batteries die and so did the rest of their round. Because they didn’t know how to simply walk off their yardages.

3. I recently saw a player who short-sided herself on her approach shot, literally use a rangefinder standing just 20 feet off the green. She lasered the flag for her delicate pitch shot in which she managed the shot short leaving a good 12ft to save par. She took bogey on the hole.

4. There was a player that had used a Trackman the day before the tournament, and he found out his club path was off by a couple of degrees. So, he worked on it and seemed to fix it. Once the tournament started, he was striking the ball well until he got to the 5th hole where the old habits started to kick in. He then spent the rest of the round trying to make adjustments with his swing causing him not to score well. He ended up withdrawing after the first day.

Players have become more entranced with all of the numbers that are presented to them. They keep chas ing for the right combination of numbers that they think is going to make them better golfer. They play the game relying on technology and not developing their natural skills and instincts. Numbers will not take into account the adrenaline you have when you play or whatever emotions you feel for the day or to the moment. They will not also take into account, what you physically see and how your brain processes it. If there is anything in the process of learning and playing the game of golf that you should really pay attention to is quite simply, understand and listen to what your body will do on its own naturally. Every golfer has their own signature that helps to create the swing or how you play the game that’s very unique and individual to themselves. Get to know what it is, you’ll thank yourself for it.

The Last Thought

TECHNOLOGY, DOES IT REALLY MAKE YOU A BETTER PLAYER?
