DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR By: Kevin Smith | SCPGA Junior Golf Director

6

thank each of you for your dedication to not only your own child, but to the overall growth of the game. We hope you all realize the tremendous impact you are making on junior golf in Southern California and we commend each of you for helping to preserve the game for future generations.

Thank you all again for a wonderful 2016 season, and here’s to an even better 2017 season. With your help and dedication to the game, we can

S CPG A JU NI OR TO U R S TA F F

As we now begin the journey towards the start of our 2017 junior golf season, I would first like to thank each and every junior tour member for being a part of that journey with us and having an instrumental role in making our 2016 season a true success. Our success is not measured by the number of members we have, the number of tournaments conducted, or the number of rounds played, but rather, by the great experiences and long lasting relationships we build with our members and their families. I would like to think that based on that criteria alone, the SCPGA Junior Tour had a very, very successful 2016 season.

Not only did we get the opportunity to crown some very worthy champions and take part in some historic team victories, but we also had the joy of watching many young players grow and develop into great golfers and even better people. To us, this is the most important thing we can accomplish, and we are very proud to say that we had a small role in their junior golf careers. While we know that many of these talented young players will go on to do great things on the golf course, we also realize that many will make a major impact in our game and society in other ways. No matter which route is taken, we are very honored and proud to share in this brief moment of their lives and we hope that they have enjoyed this experience as much as we have.

To all of our junior tour families, we

TRAVIS CUTLER

certainly make 2017 the best year yet.

It is an honor for us, the SCPGA Junior Tour, to be a part of your journey on the golf course, and we wish you all the best as you push yourself to even greater heights this upcoming year. We look forward to cheering you on!

Kevin Smith is the Southern California PGA Junior Golf Director. He can be reached at ksmith@pgahq.com.

COMMITTEE MESSAGE

MESSAGE FROM THE COMMITTEE CHAIR By: Tom Sargent, PGA | SCPGA Junior Golf Advisory Committee Chair Welcome to the 2017 SCPGA Junior Tour season.

Whether you are just learning the game, have been playing for just a few years, or are a committed junior golfer with an eye on your future, perhaps even playing in college or more, we are thrilled to have you as a part of our organization.

The Southern California PGA is a section of the PGA of America, the largest working sports organization in the world. We are 28,000 men and women strong. We, as PGA Golf Professionals, are very proud of the part we play in making golf the great game it is. By belonging to the SCPGA Junior Tour, you are helping the game grow and we thank you.

While we may not enjoy the same headlines as the PGA TOUR or LPGA TOUR, we are one of the reasons they exist. PGA golf professionals are the teachers of the game and as such, teach many of the greats. We want to share the pride we feel about the game and what we do with you.

There are many reasons to feel so strongly about the game. The core values of golf are self-evident.

You face the golf course alone.

There seems to be an innumerable amount of skills to learn and hone.

This challenging game attracts those who like to test themselves.

Frequently, those are individuals of strong character. In addition, you will often find yourself facing the toughest competitor of them all – yourself.

There are good and bad bounces, so you have to learn to control not

only the ball, but yourself. That is the only way you can overcome the “toughest competitor.”

While we do have rules officials, there is not an umpire or referee hanging over your shoulder to watch your every move. Essentially, it’s on you. What we rely on is the player’s respect for the game. This means we are relying on you. It is up to you, the player, to monitor your own game. We know it’s painful to call a penalty on yourself and the temptation to “let it slide” is often very strong, especially if no one saw the violation. But it’s part of the core of the game. If you don’t do that, you’re really not playing golf.

You are playing something else.

While the game as a whole is a tremendous thing and has grown exponentially across the world, it is still an individual game which means it’s really about you. How you conduct yourself on the course, how you play the game (and I don’t mean how well you play), how you interact with your fellow competitors and opponents and the games officials is all about you and says a lot about who you are.

If you come upon a situation that you do not quite know how to handle, ask one of our tournament officials or ask your PGA professional for advice. I have not met many PGA professionals who won’t take some time to help a junior golfer learn about the game whether it be how to play a particular shot or how to handle one of those sticky situations. We, the PGA Professionals, are the foremost teachers of the game in all its aspects.

We want to help and we want you to carry the torch for the game in the years that follow.

I have had the pleasure to watch many of our junior golfers grow up.

Some have become famous for their abilities on the golf course. Most have taken a different path, including many who have become members of the PGA of America. The TOUR player life might not be for everyone, but that does not have to end your journey in golf. Golf is a game for life and can take you places you could never dream of. Regardless of where this game takes you, I am proud of all the juniors on tour and hope that each of you tresure this magical time in your lives.

However, I can not tell you how many continue to play the game and introduce their own children to it. It makes me smile when I see a familiar last name on one of our golf tournament result boards and know it belongs to the son or daughter of one of our former junior golfers. You see, those former golfers have come back.

They have always been one of ours and we are very proud to have them be a part of us.

Whether you continue to compete or simply enjoy playing the game in the years to come, you’ll always be part of the PGA of America. Because of that we want you to walk tall wherever the game takes you.

Golf Your Ball, Tom Sargent, PGA

ALUMNI QUESTION & ANSWER

Q&A: Aaron Wise SCPGA Junior Tour Alumni & Professional Golf Circuit Player By: Amberlynn Dorsey | SCPGA Junior Golf Assistant Aaron Wise, out of Corona, California and playing on the Southern California PGA Junior Tour, was ranked fifth in the state

by Junior Golf Scoreboard before becoming a highly sought after player for recruitment. As a freshman at The University of Oregon, Aaron led the team with a 71.47 scoring average. Finishing his sophomore year, he improved to a 70.17 scoring average and won the 2016 NCAA Championship stroke play event.

After a short college term, Aaron Wise is now playing on the professional circuit.

How and when did you first get involved in golf? What aspect of the game kept you wanting more of it?

I was involved with golf from very early on. As a toddler, I used to swing a golf club in our backyard. The aspect that kept me, and keeps me wanting more is the competing aspect. I thrive on moving up and playing with better players - it’s the challenge of golf.

What was the process for your college search? What factors measured into your top choices and eventually in your decision of the University of Oregon?

I visited several great colleges that had great programs, but I chose Oregon because their golf program was beyond excellent. The weather was challenging up there, (especially being a California native), and I wanted to make sure my game could be played anywhere. Casey (Head Coach) has played on tour and understands the challenges that I would face, so I felt that all these factors would just improve my overall game.

Did all of your prior golf experiences, including the SCPGA Junior Tour, assist in preparing you for college play?

Absolutely! It afforded me the opportunity to play with people my own age and level. This keeps it fun and competitive. It’s a great way to prepare, practice and achieve your golfing goals.

Although clearly performing well in your first year of college, what were some of the goals you set going into that year?

No goals, honestly. I went in, taking it one step at a time, and just tried to get better. It was wonderful being able to focus on my golf training.

When did you decide that you actually had a shot at going professional?

Midway through my sophomore year in college. It has always been a dream of mine, however I realized that PROGRAM MAGAZINE 2017 JUNIOR GOLF EDITION

at the level I was playing, I could make my dream of becoming a professional a reality.

Missing two cuts in a row in October of 2016, how did you build yourself back up and keep your confidence levels high?

I just used it as a learning experience. Learning is part of the game - whether it’s a missed cut or a win. Golf is a game of ups and downs; I just try and stay as level as I can and continue on my path to learn and grow as a golfer. scpgajrtour.com

What’s in the bag and what are your yardages?

Callaway Clubs. My seven iron goes about 185 yards and my driver carries around 300 yards.

What mark do you want to leave on the golf industry?

I want to be known as a great golfer who helped grow the game tremendously. Obviously Tiger took the game to a whole new level when he appeared, and if I get the opportunity to do my part and help the game of golf become better and more accessible to the younger generation, then I am going to do that.

Do you have a lucky charm or something you have to always have with you when you are playing?

Nope not really! I just kind of make sure I am ready to go when the tee time comes up!

How long did it take you to find a pre-shot routine that worked for you?

Not long! I just do what’s natural.

Take a couple swings to make sure I am warmed up, visualize the shot, and go.

What are your other hobbies when you aren’t golfing?

All kinds of sports, working out, relaxing, doing something with friends, following other sports teams.

Do you have a professional sports team that you can always be seen watching when you aren’t golfing?

Lakers. But pretty much all basketball and football. I just like close games coming down to the end. Like the Patriots win at the Super Bowl - that was an amazing watch!

Have you had any hole in ones?

Yes! I am happy to say three. Two in competition. Australian Masters of The Ams, and Mayakoba Classic on the PGA TOUR.

What is your advice for someone who has just started to play the game of golf?

Make sure you are having fun! That’s what this game is all about. It’s why I play. I’m lucky enough that even after playing for 18 years it is still just as fun as when I first picked up a club in my backyard! scpgajrtour.com

THE JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT TOUR

IN THE JDT, DEVELOPMENT IS KEY

Eddie Rodarte, PGA leading a JDT Player Clinic

By: Eddie Rodarte, PGA | SCPGA Junior Golf Manager The Junior Development Tour has seen tremendous growth over the past few seasons, with the program surging 30% in 2016, with over 740 members competing in 60 events, and 175 JDT Players qualifying to compete on The Players Tour. To meet the new demands of the JDT, we have expanded the program to 75 events and added four new courses to our rotation, giving our members additional playing opportunities to develop themselves and their game.

The JDT is unique because it allows our field staff the ability to interact and teach the players not only how to play, but how to conduct themselves while on the course in a fun and safe environment. Using the Double Par Plus One Scoring Rule helps in several ways as well. It emphasizes fun over score and also helps teach kids the concept of keeping a realistic “pace of play.” These lessons have proven invaluable to the players and their families. These attributes will stay with them as they progress and aspire to graduate to the Players Tour.

Beginning in 2015, JDT Player Clinics were established to provide complimentary monthly clinics to give new golfers and their families an opportunity to learn what golf is really like in a tournament setting.

Players will learn how Junior Development Tour golf tournaments operate and what their responsibilities are on tournament day.

JDT Player Clinic topics will include but are not limited to: • • • • • • • • •

The JDT Player Clinic Program would not be possible without the friendship and support of our partner FOG, “Friends of Golf.” We can’t thank FOG enough for their continued support of the SCPGA. We are expanding our clinic program this year to include middle and high school players who may be interested in becoming SCPGA Junior Tour Players.

Always remember, “It’s not what you shoot, it’s how you shoot it.”

THE PLAYERS TOUR

Field staff team leader Randy Parkinson on the starting tee at The California Country Club

THE PLACE FOR PLAYERS By: Brent Johnston | SCPGA Junior Golf Manager The Players Tour is the place for players and offers the most opportunities to experience competitive golf on the SCPGA Junior Tour. Including both one and two-day events at some of the greatest golf facilities Southern California has to offer. We have nine-hole tournaments for our more accomplished 9-11 year old players in conjunction with 18hole events for players in our 12-14 year old division and the 15-18 year old division. The wide variety of venues and age divisions allows us to offer a professional golf tournament experience to our members. If a player is newer to the Players Tour ranks, they are afforded the opportunity to build valuable competitive tournament experience. Some of our events, where less experienced competitors might be more comfortable, are held at courses where par is typically around 64 and the total yardage is between 3,000 to 4,000 yards. For the more experienced golfers on the Players Tour, our two-day events offer venues with yardages that will play at 5,500 to 5,900 at par 72 for the girls and 6,300 to 6,800 par 72 for the boys.

All Players Tour events offer first place winners, plus ties, a spot in the coveted “Bridgestone Tournament of Champions.” This nationally recognized tournament is held three times a year: May for the spring season, August for the summer season and December for the fall season. The competition at the “Bridgestone” is always intense as the season points

race is usually tight at this point, and the Tournament of Champions offers magnified points, with extra bonus points as well when two divisions play the same tees. This is where the best athletes on the Players Tour are likely to be fighting it out to the end for the highly sought-after spots on the Toyota Tour Cup. Membership on the Players Tour is usually gained by moving up from the Junior Development Tour. These JDT players have scored three rounds of seven over par or better within a calendar year for the boys and eight over par or better in a calendar year for the girls.

Competitive as it may be, the goal of most Players Tour members is to move up to the Toyota Tour Cup. There are several ways to do that as a Players Tour Player. Season ending points will see the top six boys and girls from the 15-18 division and the top three from the 12-14 division earning promotion to the Toyota Tour Cup. Secondly, Toyota Tour Cup “Q-School” is normally held four times a year with the top 10% of the field moving up. Third, is the Players Tour two-day series, a series within each season, where three two-day events, which carry more heavily weighted points, are calculated separately. At the end of each season, the top two boys and girls from the 15-18 division and the top boy and girl from the 12-14 division earn a well deserved bump to the most elite level of our program, the Toyota Tour Cup.

THE TOYOTA TOUR CUP

Member Spotlight

DIEGO RENTERIA Have you ever had a hole-in-one?

Ever fired an eight under par, 64 when it counts? The lifelong golfer, competitive and casual alike, may never achieve such feats. Our Player Spotlight features a young gentleman by the name of Diego Renteria who has two holes-in-one, and also opened his first ever tournament on the Toyota Tour Cup with a monstrous 64. If you are not feeling badly about yourself yet, let this soak in for a moment: Diego has only been playing golf for three years.

Before his time on the golf course Diego was a competitive boxer, and a fantastic one at that. He was competing at the state and national level making himself known in the boxing world taking second in the state competition at the age of 12. Unfortunately, his career in the ring would be put on hold due to a knee injury. Diego said, “The injury was a blessing in disguise and led me to a new passion.” He attended a summer golf camp at Vista Valencia Country Club and there was no looking back after that.

The South Course at Torrey Pines is Diego’s favorite place to play, but says Augusta National is his ‘bucket list’ course. When asked about his non-golf related bucket list item, his response is a little frightening: “to go base-jumping with one of those wing suits.”

Diego is not just a star out on the links, but works just as hard in school maintaining a 4.3 GPA. He hopes to use both his athleticism and academics to pave his way to playing at the collegiate level, in the PAC-12.

“I’ve played all the other tours out there, but I enjoy the Toyota Tour Cup the best.”

Everyone has a story behind how they began playing golf.

Whether they were brought up in a golfing family or just tried it one day because their friends were doing it, the end result is the same. They are a golfer for life.

THE ULTIMATE PROVING GROUND By: Travis Cutler | SCPGA Junior Golf Manager

Diego Renteria teeing off at a Toyota Tour Cup event

The Toyota Tour Cup is the ultimate proving ground for young players in the Southern California area that want to take their game to the next level; whether it be a means to a college education, or cashing checks on the professional tours, the Toyota Tour Cup is where it all begins!

Membership on the Toyota Tour Cup is exclusive, and only reserved for players who have the skill and the drive to qualify for a spot. Players compete at longer yardages, at premier facilities in the Southern California region for the ultimate challenge of their mental William Villegas-Mellein setting up for a putt and physical game. The Toyota Tour Cup is offering members 22 playing opportunities in the 2017 season, including the 54-hole Corey Pavin Invitational and two College Showcases. It is on this tournament circuit where players will gain the experience they need to achieve success at the next level. All Toyota Tour Cup events are recognized by both Junior Golf Scoreboard and AJGA, as well as select events by GolfWeek and WAGR, to give these young athletes the most exposure on the national and global scale.

At this elite level, the rules of golf become even more of a focus and the SCPGA Junior Tour utilizes an expert Rules committee lead by rules chair Ron O’Connor, PGA. Our committee dedicates their time week in and week out to assist players with rulings and to help educate them when they encounter a difficult situation so that they can avoid unnecessary penalties or disqualification.

If you want to take your game to the next level, then the Toyota Tour Cup is the platform Veronica Joels knocking a bunker shot close at Monarch Beach Golf Links to get you there. Players looking to gain membership on the Toyota Tour Cup can acheive this goal in a few ways; Toyota Tour Cup Qualifying School, local qualifiers, and Players Tour Player of the Year points. Full details can be found by visiting our website at SCPGAJRTOUR.com/toyota-tour-cup.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

NOW ON THE TEE STEVE FRANK By: Jake Ellison SCPGA Junior Golf Manager

The Southern California PGA loves to recognize individuals who go above and beyond; who live to enhance and enrich the lives of others, who are selfless by nature and proactive by trade, true genuine people.

It brings us great pleasure to shine a spotlight on one of our dedicated volunteers, Steve Frank.

For ten plus years, at almost every premier SCPGA Junior Tour event, Mr. Frank has announced the starting holes with elegance. He spends

developed a passion for starting.

This is when he began announcing favorable and unique statistics about past accomplishments for the main players, Mr. Frank said, “The players and their families seemed to appreciate it so much that I expanded it and did it for every player I started, if it was appropriate.”

SCPGA Toyota Tour Cup member, Serena Chon said, “I love when Mr. Frank announces. It is always such a nice and pleasant surprise to see him on the tee box.”

Over the years, Mr. Frank has

“I want people to realize that the competitors whose names I am calling are athletes and very good players.

The event I am announcing is important and significant.

The SCPGA is honored to have them competing.”

- Steve Frank, SCPGA Rules Official countless hours researching flattering statistics for each individual and creating a superlative, professional environment.

When asked about Mr. Frank’s announcing, Toyota Tour Cup Member, Angelina Kim had this to say, “When he announces us on the first tee, I feel like we are playing in a really big tournament, like on the LPGA TOUR.” Mr. Frank grew up in Santa Barbara and played golf at San Marcos High School. He was All CIF, Second Team selection his senior year. He went on to play college golf at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo. Steve then attended Law School at UC Davis where he, as a full time student, won the Davis City Championship.

Mr. Frank started officiating with the USGA in 2000 where he

had two trademarks that set him apart from everyone else. One is the portable public address system, which he acquired in 2005, and the other is his colorful bow ties. This poised and polished combination has made him into an icon and a staple at our premier junior events.

Mr. Frank aims to, “make each tournament exceptional and memorable, yet friendly.

I want people to realize that the competitors whose names I am calling are athletes and very good players. The event I am announcing is important and significant. The SCPGA is honored to have them competing.”

Toyota Tour Cup Member, Brianna Navarrosa said, “Walking up to the

14

PROGRAM MAGAZINE 2017 JUNIOR GOLF EDITION

first tee and listening to my name being called gets me very excited and focused to play.”

This goes to show what kind of an effect Mr. Frank has on our elite juniors. He creates an environment that truly shows just how special these events are. Our Toyota Tour Cup members have a deep admiration for the added value Mr. Frank provides.

Mr. Frank, thank you for providing an atmosphere that makes our kids eager to be on the first tee. We are honored to have you a part of the Southern California PGA Family.

PGA JUNIOR LEAGUE GOLF Bringing Youth, Families, & Golf Communities Together By: Nikki Gatch, PGA | PGA of America Player Development Regional Manager

HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO PLAY ON A GOLF TEAM? How would you like to compete alongside friends in a team format?

PGA Junior League Golf offers that great experience!

PGA Junior League Golf provides boys and girls — ages 13 and under of all abilities — a fun, social, and inclusive opportunity to learn and play golf in a recreational team setting with their friends, complete with numbered jerseys. PGA and LPGA professionals serve exclusively as Captains, providing kids with expert coaching and instruction. PGA Junior League Golf utilizes a two-person scramble format, which reinforces the team concept and creates a non-intimidating environment for learning the game. Teams play nine-hole matches against other teams in their local League. Captains can substitute players every three holes, allowing everyone on the team a chance to participate.

Teams typically play between four to six games in the regular season, from April 1 - July 31 (season dates determined by the Team/League).

Following the regular season, ten player all-star teams are formed from a combination of players in each League. Teams move through a series of sub-regional competitions to advance to one of eight regional competitions held across the country.

Eight regional champions advance to the PGA Junior League Golf Championship, to be held for the second year at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, Nov. 16-19.

Last year, PGA of America, Grayhawk Golf Club, and National Car Rental partnered with Golf Channel to air a two-hour, primetime special highlighting the 2016 PGA Junior League Golf National Championship presented by National Car Rental.

The program also has the support of some of golf’s biggest names, including SCPGA Junior Tour Alumni Rickie Fowler, along with Rory McIlroy, Michelle Wie and Lexi Thompson, who serve as Official Ambassadors for PGA Junior League Golf.

2016 JUNIOR RYDER CUP

Junior Ryder Cup - Team USA & Team Europe

THE RYDE OF THEIR LIVES ALYAA ABDULGHANY & NORMAN XIONG REPRESENT THE SCPGA AT THE 2016 JUNIOR RYDER CUP By: Amberlynn Dorsey | SCPGA Junior Golf Assistant In August of 2016, The United States Junior Ryder Cup Team was announced. Two of our own knockout golfers ended up on top to represent the USA in the two-day match up against some of Europe’s finest junior golfers at Interlachen Country Club in Minnesota. It’s no surprise that The Junior Golf Scoreboard’s number eight, Norman Xiong, and number seven, Alyaa Abdulghany, were able to secure their spots in this sought after event with his win and her runner-up placing at the 2016 Junior PGA Championship. The USA Team had won the Junior Ryder Cup four consecutive times and when it came down to the pressure of keeping up the streak, Norman shrugged it off, - “I knew most of the players on the team and what we were capable of” and for Alyaa, it added wood to the fire, “if anything, it motivated me to play my best and persevere.”

Monday morning started off with foursomes, Alyaa teaming with Lucy Li and Norman Xiong with Noah Goodwin.

Underneath the Interlachen’s flags lowered to half-staff in honor of the great

Arnold Palmer, both Xiong’s and Abdulghany’s team fell one down to their European counterparts. With both of their losses, both USA and Europe were tied going into the afternoon mixed fourball. Composing himself, Norman knew he had to change one thing before the second match, “my goal was to be more relaxed and a bit more fun, lessen the tension a bit.”

That afternoon started off with a bang, Alyaa stuffed her approach shot on the first hole which would set the tone for the rest of the match. Alyaa and Norman would win 5&4. With their win, the USA would go up 7 to 5 with one round to play, the Tuesday morning singles. After playing with partners the day before, all of the players would be on their own for the final match and Norman knew what had to be done, “everyone had a job that day, and each one of our goals

18

PROGRAM MAGAZINE 2017 JUNIOR GOLF EDITION

was to do our job. My strategy was to play my game and focus on what I could control.”

The best shot of the whole experience for Norman was his last stroke. He was able to make a swinging, 6-foot, left to right putt to go one up and win his singles match.

Alyaa also joined Norman in winning fashion, finishing with a 3&1 victory.

The United States Team was able to score eight wins during the final match to secure the 15 1/2 to 8 1/2 win over the European Team. Going into this historical battle that only happens every two years, Alyaa had the same mindset as those on the Ryder Cup teams - “some of the goals I had going into the Junior Ryder Cup was to represent my country as best as I can.

I wanted to win for my country and also represent my country with great character and a positive attitude.”

The well-beyond her years, Alyaa Abdulghany, will be off to The University of Southern California this fall and has her eyes on the NCAA Individual and Team Championship trophies. Norman Xiong, the six-footer who can drive over 300 yards, is currently playing for The University of Oregon where he is striving towards moving up the world ranking and preparing for life after college, - “I want to be stronger physically and mentally. I know that as I continue to compete I will keep learning, but I have a job to take care of my body and handle uncomfortable situations away from home.”

Are you next? Here is some advice from our SCPGA Junior Golf Stars: Alyaa Abdulghany: “Golf is going to be frustrating and difficult at times, but it will teach you so many things that are so valuable to have on and off the course. Enjoy your times practicing and playing golf. Norman Xiong: “Have fun and always have a reason for why you are playing!”

Encouraging your son or daughter, and any other juniors to give golf a try, can be a valuable and effective way of adding to their physical, personal, and emotional development! This opportunity to help juniors thrive and grow through their golf experiences is my biggest passion as a PGA golf instructor, and the main motivation behind the ideas, activities and services that I have developed in my junior program.

I am certain, and give golf 100% recognition for who I am, the values I have, the core of how I have handled the challenges and successes in my own life. I could write a book about my experiences, the ups and downs, the victories and defeats, the travels and courses played, the friends made, the goals worked for and achieved, and so much more! Through my experience playing in many San Diego Junior Golf Association events, to my memorable high school/college competitions, and then my ultimate choice to become a PGA member, I have focused most of my career on the next generation of junior golfers!

My goal is to educate every parent I speak with about the incredible opportunities, valuable friendships, and lifelong skills that ultimately benefit their child by participation in my junior programs, and junior golf in general. Always remember, golf will take you and your junior to new heights, if you allow it. Go Juniors!

SCPGA TEACHER OF THE YEAR

SCPGA TEACHER OF THE YEAR Finding the Right Coach for You or Your Junior By: Alison Curdt, PGA | 2016 SCPGA Teacher of The Year Tired of the same old performance, and the same old complaints about your game? Instead of spending money on the newest training aid seen in the stores or on TV, invest in yourself and an expert to help you get better. Many golfers hesitate to take golf lessons for a variety of reasons. “I won’t be able to hit balls for an hour,” “It will screw up my game,” “I won’t understand what’s being taught,” or “I don’t have the time,” are common explanations for why some golfers don’t enroll in lessons. Finances can even be a barrier, as pricing is competitive amongst instructors based on location, credentials, and experience. A past bad experience with an instructor who was not a good fit for your game can often prohibit a player from wanting to invest further in their own development. However, finding the right fit with an instructor for you or your junior is crucial.

There is a psychology to coaching, and the best teachers and coaches know how to work efficiently with players to help optimize their game.

scpgajrtour.com

To know that someone speaks your language, will go at your pace, and will offer smaller bits of information, so that you can learn and improve, are vital. There is no “one size fits all” in golf instruction and you will want a coach that customizes the lesson structure to fit your needs.

To find a good fit for an instructor, do your research, just as if you were trying out any new business or service professional.

Talk to others about their experience, look at online reviews, visit their website, and consider their past achievements and industry awards. PGA and LPGA member instructors have been formally trained in teaching, coaching, and player development. This would be an important qualification to look for.

Many instructors specialize in teaching juniors and have spent extra time investing to expand their knowledge of child development, physical development in adolescents, as well as catering their approach to the minds and language of children. Instructors certified in US Kids Golf would have specialized knowledge in working with juniors. Mental performance is a growing field of study in golf, and many instructors have additional education in psychology, motor learning, and neurofeedback training. There are many different niches that instructors can specialize in, but most importantly, a teaching/coaching relationship is a special bond PROGRAM MAGAZINE 2017 JUNIOR GOLF EDITION

that will be just as paramount to your performance as the information being delivered, so you want to make sure you like working with your coach!

Your junior should look forward to spending time with their instructor and walk away having had a FUN time. Juniors will look to their coach as a mentor, not only teaching them golf skills, but life skills as well.

Appropriate behaviors, morals, ethics, sportsmanship, and mutual respect can be learned through a positive rapport with an instructor. A good coach and instructor will make one feel comfortable during the lesson, asks lots of questions about you and your game, inquire about your feedback, does not criticize or judge your performance, and follows up with your performance in various ways. Most importantly, a good coach/instructor cares about you and your improvement. Lessons are an investment into yourself, and your game, so consider working with an expert that is a good fit for you and your junior to improve performance on the course.

With the eyes of the golf world gazing upon the brightest youth golfers in the region, the Toyota Tour Cup members brought their A-game to the last TTC event of the 2016 season!

In the boys division, the Toyota Tour Cup Player of The Year, Clay Seeber was in the middle of the pack after his first round of 73. Seeber, a resident of Newport Beach, surged up the leaderboard after posting an impressive second round of six-under par, placing him in third for the tournament. Finishing in second place was Murrieta resident, Edwin Kuang. Kuang put himself in great position after a steady one-under first round of 71. Kuang came out focused for round two, scratching a one-under on the front nine and letting the birdies fly on the back nine with a bogey free, four birdie finish! Lastly, the 2016 Toyota Tour Cup Championship winner for the boys division was none other than the impressively talented, Charles Reiter. A native of Palm Desert, Reiter was in tune with the Bermuda greens of the La Quinta desert. Reiter came out hot round one, carding three birdies and posting an eagle on the par five, 15th hole. Reiter continued his stunning performance in to the final round, posting seven birdies and an eagle on the final hole of regulation and finished scpgajrtour.com

the tournament at 12-under par, claiming a six shot victory.

The girls division, composed of the top 33 on the Toyota Tour Cup, made the trek out to the desert to compete for the title. Placing in third was San Marino resident, Bella Setio. After an impressive 2016 season, Setio placed top ten in nine out of nine attempts at Toyota Tour Cup tournaments. After posting an even par 72 round one, Setio continued her steady play day two, posting a solid 73. Finishing in second was the talented Amari Avery.

Also having a wonderful 2016 season, Avery had a runner up finish at the Corey Pavin Invitational, first place finish at TTC Olivas Links and also a first place finish in the Junior PGA Championship for the 12-14 age division! Avery came out strong in round two, making the appropriate adjustments necessary, earning the 13 year old Riverside resident second place.

Lastly, Yukino Yoshihara, from Irvine was crowned champion of the girls division.

Yukino posted a round one 73, placing her in second after 18 holes, but she lit the fire in round two. Yoshihara played bogey free golf, with five birdies, finishing four under for the tournament.

Special thanks to Head Professional, Bob Tamblyn with La Quinta Resort & Club for providing their facility for this championship event! Lastly, we would like to thank Toyota for being the title partner to the Toyota Tour Cup.

By: Gabriella Then | SCPGA Junior Tour Alumni It has been quite some time since playing on the SCPGA Tour, but it was one of the most important milestones of my golf career. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support and structure of the SCPGA. My experiences on the Toyota Tour Cup and SCPGA Jr. Tour have opened doors athletically and academically as it paved the way to a scholarship to USC. Every young junior golfer has to start building their resume somewhere, and the SCPGA is a great place to start.

Now that I am in my last semester at USC, I take a look back at where I came from and I am very grateful. The SCPGA Grant & Scholarship Fund have played a part in my success here at USC. After I graduate in May, I would like to pursue a career in professional golf. It has been a dream of mine ever since I started playing tournaments with the SCPGA at the age of nine. The transition from college golf to professional golf will be exciting to go through. Just like the transition from the SCPGA Junior Tour to the Toyota Tour Cup. Taking the next step just brings you closer to the end goal and its something that the SCPGA helps many junior golfers achieve. They give young golfers the platform to broadcast their talents and have built an amazing tour with a great reputation. The SCPGA Tour has inspired me to continue pursuing my dream of becoming a professional golfer. It was where I began and it was a time that I will always remember. I will always look back to cherish the memories and am very grateful I got to be a part of it. Thank you and fight on!

SUPPORT THE SCPGA FOUNDATION The Southern California PGA Foundation’s mission is to provide all those who might benefit, especially youth, with opportunities to acquire sustainable life skills and values obtained through the game of golf.

The game has provided millions of youth the opportunity to enhance their lives, both athletically and academically. Golf is the vehicle that teaches life lessons, social skills, honesty, integrity, and work ethic. Through each game, lesson, shot, and decision, golf continues to be a leader in developing our youth.

The Southern California PGA Foundation provides youth with the resources to experience important recreational and developmental opportunities through our Grants and Scholarships Program. Thanks to our extremely generous donor base, the SCPGA Foundation will award over $60,000.00 in 2017. Take an active role in impacting the lives of our youth by donating! Questions?

COLLEGE CORNER

Chandler Withington, Head Golf Professional

Hazeltine National Golf Club

THE JUNIOR GOLF JOURNEY By: Chris Zambri | University of Southern California Men’s Head Golf Coach My name is Chris Zambri, and I am the Head Men’s Golf Coach at USC. I am a former junior golfer from Southern California. I played college golf at USC and I now have a son who is a ninth grader who plays junior golf.

I love playing golf and I love coaching golf. There are so many things to talk about, but I want narrow down the scope to pass along some advice for junior golfers who are looking to play college golf. Here are four things that I think are the most important for a junior golfer to know in order to pursue playing golf in college.

The first thing I wanted to mention was the importance of junior golfers and their parents to know the NCAA rules surrounding recruiting. There are many rules, and the rules dictate how and when a coach can communicate with a prospective student-athlete. It would be very smart for you to Google NCAA recruiting rules for golf and to learn the rules about recruiting. I would guess some of you have written an email to a coach and wondered why you haven’t heard back. Or maybe you or your parents saw a coach at a tournament and thought that the coach seemed uninterested in talking to you. If you take the time to learn the rules you will find out that all communication between a coach and a recruit is determined by the junior golfer’s high school graduation year.

Knowing these rules makes for better communication between a recruit and a college golf coach.

The second thing I think is important is for you to reach out by email to coaches at schools where you are interested. The best emails coaches receive are informative and brief. We are looking your graduation year, where you live, and results in tournaments. It is best to put in all your results because if a coach is interested, he or she will search your name and find them all anyway.

Another good item to include in

your email is the name and contact information of your instructor or at a minimum, the name of your home golf course. With this information, a college coach can reach out to find out more about you without breaking any NCAA rules concerning communication. I know this is a very common practice by many coaches and we are very grateful when a busy golf professional gives us his or her input on one of their students.

The third important thing in order to become a college golfer is to target schools that are in line with your playing ability. If there is a school you really like, do some research into the junior careers of players who are starters for that team. Or, if you know some kids who are committed to that school, check out their results and rankings on some of the major ranking sites (Junior Golf Scoreboard, Golfweek, etc...). We spoke about the importance of sending emails earlier, but it is just as important to send those emails to schools that are good fits for your ability. There are over one thousand places to play golf in college on a team. This is awesome news! Be sure to pursue those that are a great fit for your game.

The last thing that I want to urge you to consider in order to become a college golfer is to stay tournament sharp. Play often! If you go to a high school that has a team, play on the team. More tournament golf is better than less. Playing golf in tournament conditions is where you will learn the most. Another great thing about playing a lot is that it gives you an opportunity to post an impressive round or finish that can catch the eye of an interested coach. In addition, I always found it so much easier to practice diligently if there was a tournament in my near future.

I wish you all the best with your journey in golf. Have fun, work hard and play smart!

COREY PAVIN INVITATIONAL By: Bryce Seiver | SCPGA Junior Golf & Communications Administrator The 3rd Annual Corey Pavin Invitational was held at the beautiful Indian Wells Golf Resort in Indian Wells. This exclusive 54 hole event is a proving ground for the most elite members of the SCPGA Junior Tour.

The 86-player field came prepared to handle the heat as it was forecasted to be rising into the triple digits.

Hitting 80 degrees by 8am, with little to no wind, the temperatures rapidly climbed into the triple digits by noon on the first day of competition.

Players must always remember that preparing for a tournament consists of not only getting your game together but it’s also getting your physical health together as well. Including proper hydration and nutrition in the days leading up to a tournament.

Despite these conditions, the players came out with enough ferocity to match the triple digit heat.

SCPGA Junior Tour Alumni, and U.S. Open Champion, Corey Pavin was in attendance for the final round to personally assist with the award ceremony at the conclusion of play.

Sunday was all about the leaderboard shuffle, with movement across the board in the boys and girls divisions.

Placing third for the boys was Owen Calvin-Smith, staying in the mix by shooting 72 in round three, leaving home with a three-day total of 212. The powerful storyline Sunday for the boys division was between Raymond Navis and Yu-Jen Cheng, both finishing three under for 54 holes of golf, this forcing them to go to the first hole for

a sudden death playoff. With Corey Pavin spectating, the pressure was multiplied with the eyes of a former Ryder Cup Captain on them. Both players hit strong tee shots on the par four, landing within feet of each other.

Cheng stuck his approach shot within 30-feet of the pin and Navis landed just off the back fringe. Navis made a solid chip to ensure an easy par.

Cheng, with a 30-foot putt in front of him, rose to the occasion, draining the putt for birdie and claiming victory!

The girls division saw great playing from many on the tour, with a storyline of consistency from these fierce competitors. Finishing in third was Veronica Joels, carding a final round one 1 under, 71, with a birdie and 17-pars for a 36 hole total of 219.

Placing second was the extremely talented Amari Avery, finishing with 36 holes of even par golf, 216 total. Alyaa Abdulghany was in the zone, the only girl to break 70 on Sunday, posting a round of 69 with four birdies. This was enough for Adbulghany to clinch first place, totaling seven under, 209, for 36 holes of play.

Special thanks to our product sponsor for the event, TaylorMade golf! Also, thank you to Tom Burley, PGA, with Indian Wells Golf Resort for hosting this great event.

Lastly, thanks to our great rules officials, beginning with Rules Committee Chairman Ron O’Connor, PGA. Rules officials, Gary Albin, Tom Powers, Carol Stewart, Keith Reinking, and Terry Startzel.
