AHPGA Golf Students Contest For Australian Women`s Golf Most Prestigious Titles!
By Tony | February 25, 2009
What a busy month February has been for Australian High Performance Golf Academy AHPGA students at a number of Australian Women`s Golf recent profesional and amateur tournaments.
It started with Choi He-Yong finishing in 36th position at the ANZ Ladies Australian Ladies Masters Golf Tournament at the Royal Pines Golf Club here on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.
Choi He-Yong and three other KLPGA (Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association) touring professionals spent 2 months at an intensive golf training camp with us here at the AHPGA back in early 2008. Choi returned to Korea where she went on to have a very successful year on the KLPGA Tour in 2008 wining two times and a number of top 10 finishes were good enough for her to claim the KLPGA Rookie of the Year Honours for 2008.
The week following the ANZ Ladies Australian Ladies Masters Golf Tournament Choi He- Yong flew to Melbourne for the Women`s Australian Open Golf Championship at the Metropolitan Golf Club where she eventually finished in a tie for 3rd position. Choi He-Yong missed an outside chance to force a play-off with the eventual Champion Englands Laura Davies, when she three putted the 72nd hole to finish just 2 shots behind Davies. Great play Choi He- Yong and all the very best on the KLPGA Tour in 2009!
Fellow AHPGA student 14 year old Ellie Na is continuing to have her name ingraved on some of Australian Women`s Amateur Golf most prestigious silverware, when she and her partner Youngjin Chi finished joint Champions with the experienced pairing of Julia Boland and Rebecca Blain at the recent Women`s Australian Amateur Foursomes Championship played at the Riversdale Golf Club in Melbourne Victoria.
It has been a very busy month for young Ellie. She missed the 36 hole cut at the Women`s Australian Open Golf Championship at the Metropolitan Golf Course by 4 shots. The following week Ellie was in contention going into the final round of the Nell- Smithett Victorian 72 Hole Strokeplay Championship, before a final round of 80 saw her finish in a credible 10th position.
Ellie continued her good form at this weeks prestigious Women`s Riversdale Cup played at the Riversdale Golf Club where she finished in 7th position. Ellie will return home to the Gold Coast this week for a short break before next months Women`s Australian Amateur Golf Championship in Brisbane.
I will catch up with Ellie this Saturday for a training session in which we will sit down together and talk about her recent tournaments and to go over her relevant tournament statistics and start her preparation for next months Women`s Australian Amateur Championship in Brisbane.
