Received Category H status on the Symetra Tour, (formerly Futures Tour) and will become a member!
July 27th 2011:
Went to Florida to play in the LPGA/ Futures Tour Q-School. I shot rounds of 77-74 and missed advancing to the second stage by 3 strokes. It was a great learning experience.
June 16th 2011:
Finished second at the North Carolina Women's Amateur Championship at River Landing, in Wallace, NC.
May 31st 2011:
I qualified to play in the US Women's Amateur Public Links, shooting a 73 at Ironwood GC in Greenville, NC. However, since I can't afford to go to Oregon to play in the main event, I had to decline the offer.
April 23rd 2011:
I won the Peach Belt Conference Tournament in Savannah, GA by 6 strokes last week, firing rounds of 73, 72. The Lady Braves won by 23 strokes.
March 2nd 2011:
Returning from a successful week in Columbus, Georgia with a team win by 27 strokes and a drop in the National rankings by 2 positions down to 8th in the country.
February 21st 2011:
I just won my second collegiate tournament at the Par 74 Moss creek course in Hilton Head. My scores were 77-76 in very windy conditions. The closest competitor in this 60 player field was 5 strokes behind me. Following this win are accolades of "Student Athlete of the Week" at UNCP Pembroke and a seventh career "Peach Belt Conference Golfer of the Week" :-)
January 3rd 2011:
I wish everybody a happy New Year! I'm very excited for the upcoming season, as I expect many good things to come. Stay tuned.
December 1st 2010:
I finished up a very good fall season with 3 top 5 finishes and one top 15, while improving my stroke average from the pevious semester by almost 6 strokes to 75.6.
October 8th 2010:
I was the runner up at the Myrtle Beach Intercollegiate played at Sea Trail (Byrd) and the team came in second. The UNCP golf team is now ranked 14th in the nation among DII schools in the US. To show how much of an improvement this has been, when I started about 2.5 years ago, the school was ranked around 90th or so. Again I was named Peach Belt Conference Women's player of the week for the second time in three weeks.
September 24th 2010:
I was named the Peach Belt Conference Women's golfer of the week.
September 21st 2010:
The new season started out with a runner up finish (75-71) and a UNCP team win at the Pfeiffer Falcon Cup at Badin Resort.
January 17th 2010:
While building a swing plane, a circular saw unexpectedly shot back and made it's way into my left hand. Luckily there was no major damage, however I had to get 9 stitches and my golf game has to sit on the bench for a while.
July 23rd 2007:
Today was MY DAY. I'll remember this one for a long time. I finally made my first HOLE IN ONE! It was on number 17 at National, it was about 160 yards uphill. I hit it, the ball took off, bounced once about 5 feet short and rolled right in the cup. I was even able to see it go in the hole, what a feeling. It couldn't have been a better birthday gift!
June 21st 2007:
No one was more consistent playing the 2007 North Carolina State Amateur Championship than me. With rounds of 76/76/76 (eventhough it was raining cats and dogs the second day) I came in fourth place out of the entire field.
June 13th 2007:
Unfortunately I did not qualify for the 2007 US Women's Open. I started out being one under for the first nine holes of the 36 hole sectional qualifier, but was not able to keep it up. I'll just do it next year! I did finish 2nd by one stroke at the Moore County Amateur Championship with rounds of 68 and 77. It was a great experience.
May 14th 2007:
I am one step closer to playing in the US Womens Open after successfully passing the local Qualifyer at Salisbury Country Club. I fired a 73 to end up being tied for 11th out of 98 players. The next and last hurdle is June 11th at Keith Hills at the Sectional Qualifyer... If I advance there then I'm on to play against some of the best golfers in the world at Pine Needles!
January 2nd 2007:
I was voted to be the "Women’s player of the year 2006" by the Fayetteville Observer for "winning the A Flight in the Amateur Golf Tour Championship while competing against men."
October 29th 2006:
I won the National Amateur Golf Tour Championship in Hilton Head in the A Flight, which makes me the first female ever in the history of the tour to win the Championship. (The Amateur Golf Tour is the biggest Amateur Tour in the Country.) I beat approximately 127 males and one female in my Flight. Out of the entire field of 461 players I am tied for 10th place including about 120 guys from the Championship Flight.
Going into the second round on Sunday I was 9 strokes out of the lead, however I shot a 74 to take home the win by one stroke.
August 12th 2006:
I broke 3 personal records and tied one course record... Today I broke my so far all time best score of 72 by 5 shots! I shot a 67 at Longleaf from the green tees and broke Par AND 70 for the very first time! Great feeling. I also tied the course record for the Ladies.
August 5th 2006:
I earned my fourth Win this year on the Golf Amateur Tour at "The Pit" with a solid round of 76. Also for the first time this year I won the Closest to the Pin contest on their signature Par 3 which has an island green.
