Katie Skeeles / 2008 Most Improved Junior Girl / Atlanta CC / December 1, 2008
A tip of the LBG cap to 16-year-old Katie Skeeles for winning Atlanta Country Club's 2008 Most Improved Junior Girl Award!
Katie and I began working together last July. She had been playing golf for about 18 months, and at the time, her 'personal best' score was 107. Within two months, she beat that score by 20 strokes, carding an 87 in tournament play. What is even more remarkable is that the 87 was produced with a 47 on the front and a 40 on the back. And that 40 included a triple at the last!
Her near-term goal statement, which she writes down in her Performance Analysis Journal after every practice session or round, is "I shoot in the 70s". Bet with this girl, not against her!

You saw her in action at Cuscowilla, Alex. Pretty classy, right?

I was at the far end of the range but from what I saw on video looked pretty good to me!

I was privileged enough to play in Katie's foursome at Cuscowilla, and I still can't believe she's only been playing golf less than two years. Amazing progress!

If others want to see video of themselves from Cuscowilla, let me know. I can post it if you don't mind or can send you a link to download it.

Hmmmmm 16 years old. Playing for less than 2 years. Scores go from 100's to 80's in just a few months. Has a very nice swing. Maybe I should start sending her things to autograph now BEFORE she gets famous. Keep it goin' Katie. It appears your future is bright.
