Extra SPecial Win

I have been fortunate to coach a lot of junior golfers over the years.  Several develop a passion to play competitively and I am happy to help them develop the skill and mindset for that kind of play.  In January, I was asked to coach a junior golfer with competitive experience from Peru.  I was excited to see what she could do.  

In the first lesson, I discovered that Micaela is very talented but she could be so much better with some adjustments to her swing.  When I suggested the changes, she looked at me like my head was going to explode.  While it was a difficult change, she saw the results immediately and committed to making the adjustment.  

As a student, Micaela is very astute and quick to grasp concepts. Her dedication to practicing and playing over the last couple of months yielded a 3rd place finish in the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour at Eagle Trace Golf Club in Coral Springs this past weekend. She shot an 85 and 81 in a two-day tournament.  This win is extra special because she  played against a former Peruvian teammate who consistently hit longer drives in the past.  Armed with her new swing, those days are over and the future is bright for Micaela.
