While I enjoy teaching golf at every level, recreational to competitive, I really enjoy working with aspiring competitive players. Competitive players are goal driven, dedicated to their sport and play with passion.
It is a privilege to assist these players in developing their games and reaching their goals, not to mention the thrill and excitement of watching these individuals perform under tournament conditions and contending to win!
Opportunities abound within Central Florida and beyond to compete and at every level of play and handicap. You don’t have to be a super star to enjoy competitive golf.
Many events are flighted by handicap or scoring averages and players compete against each other at equivalent levels of play, ability, and skill.
But, if you are a “player”, junior, amateur, professional, men, women, or senior, you can mix it up with the very best in the country right here in Central Florida.
If you are principally a recreational player who plays for a small wager, a free lunch or drink, or just bragging rights and aspire to compete in a more formal arena, opportunities to compete are literally at your front door in Orlando. And who knows what a little competitive golf may lead to in the future?
For junior competitors there is no better competitive field of juniors, than within Central Florida.
Former local junior golfer Phillip Choi of Circle Christian School, now collegiate player for the University of Florida, led the field of US Open qualifiers at Metro West, May 10, 2010 with a qualifying medalist score of 65. Past Central Florida junior player Andy Choi finished second with a 67.
These players no doubt have a very serious shot at someday playing on the PGA Tour and it all started with junior golf within Central Florida.
Interesting also is the fact that Florida hosted some 17 first stage qualifying sites for the US Open very indicative of the strong talent of golf that resides in our state.
If you want to chase your dream in competitive golf, stop dreaming about it and start seriously working on your game and make your dream a reality.
Opportunities for competitive golf abound in our area! There are plenty of courses and practice areas throughout Central Florida to start developing a competitive game and the seasonal rates and the current economy are making it very affordable for the summer season. There has never been a better time to play golf!
Here are some exciting websites to explore for competition from local to national, as well as player organizations. If you need a coach or an instructor or both, feel free to give me a call and we will work together to help you reach your dreams and enjoy the excitement of competition at the amateur level. If you are aspiring to play professionally, I will be more than glad to show you the “ropes” or path to the LPGA or PGA Tours.
