LPGA, PGA & KMPG PARTNER-UP TO ELEVATE WOMEN'S GOLF
















,http://www.lpga.com/golf/news/2014/5/major-teamwork-kpmg-pga-of-america-and-lpga.aspx

  NEW YORK – KPMG, the PGA of America, and the LPGA today announced the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship and the creation of a multi-faceted program focused on the development, advancement, and empowerment of women on and off the golf course. The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, broadcast in partnership with NBC and Golf Channel, brings together a world-class, annual major golf championship with a women’s leadership summit and an ongoing community initiative to inspire and develop new generations of female leaders.
The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship will continue the rich tradition of the LPGA Championship and will rotate annually among prestigious courses in major metropolitan markets. In its first year, the Championship will be held June 8-14, 2015 at the Westchester Country Club in Rye, New York, with a purse among the highest in women’s golf at $3.5 million. The Championship will be operated by the PGA of America in close collaboration with the LPGA.
“KPMG is proud to take on this groundbreaking sponsorship and to work with the LPGA, the PGA of America and NBC to inspire today’s and tomorrow’s women leaders,” said John Veihmeyer, Global Chairman of KPMG. “This collaboration will not only bring women’s golf to new audiences – it also creates opportunities to expand women’s leadership on and off the course, empowering today’s women leaders and cultivating the next-generation of female leaders.”
“This is a landmark moment for the PGA of America as we partner with KPMG and the LPGA to embrace an historic Championship and focus on the advancement of women,” said PGA of America President Ted Bishop. “We look forward to teaming with the LPGA to make the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship the can’t-miss week for female leaders. Together, we believe this Championship – broadcast to millions around the world – will energize new audiences in our collective effort to grow the game.”

When More Isn’t Better: Dealing with Burnout in Competitive Sports

{Reprinted from Women's Sports Foundation website} 
Sport is a place for girls to learn social interaction, hard work, the triumphs of success and coping skills when faced with failure. However, when recreational athletics turn to intense competitive sports, burnout is too often the result. Burnout, a term often associated with CEOs and highly-demanding positions, unfortunately is now becoming a common outcome in athletes as young as ten years old. What is Burnout? 
Professionals in sport psychology define burnout as, “physical/emotional exhaustion, sport devaluation, and reduced athletic accomplishment.” Simply put, burnout is when an athlete experiences overwhelming exhaustion from training and competition, resents or completely loses interest in the game, and experiences lower achievement than previously demonstrated.

Results

SKIPPACK, Pa.  
– Junior Lauren Sobotka (North Caldwell, N.J./Mt. St. Dominic Academy) and freshman Nicole Petrocchi (Whitehouse Station, N.J./Hunterdon Central) each posted career lows as the Gettysburg College women's golf team faced off with Ursinus College at the Skippack Golf Club on Friday.

A late addition to the schedule, the round was added to ensure all the teams in the Centennial Conference met the minimum standard for the automatic qualifier to the NCAA Division III Championship. As the conference champion, Gettysburg would receive the AQ, but the ultimate decision now rests with the NCAA. Official announcement of the national field will take place Monday, May 5, at 6 p.m. on NCAA.com.

Gettysburg posted a team score of 362 to easily out-distance Ursinus at 457. Sobotka, the runner-up at last weekend's conference championship, posted a nine-over 81 to top her previous collegiate best by one stroke. Petrocchi shaved two strokes off her personal best with an 85.

Freshman Lynn Hatcher (Easton, Md./St. James School) and sophomore Kate Schwartz (Laureldale, Pa./North Warren Regional (N.J.)) each scored 98 to round out the lineup.

An economics major, McNulty sported a 3.65 GPA heading into her final semester. She stands as the most decorated golfer in program history with 17 individual championships, including three Centennial Conference titles. She was named CC Player of the Year in each of the last three seasons and she was a four-time all-conference pick.

McNulty set the program record with an 80.8 scoring average this season. She set school and conference marks with eight individual championships, including her third consecutive conference title. She fired a career-low 77 on the final day of the conference tournament to win the championship by one stroke.

McNulty holds Gettysburg's career record for scoring average at 82.57. She has finished among the top five in all but two of her 37 career events played.

McNulty is a three-time All-American Scholar as selected by the Women's Golf Coaches Association (WGCA). She is also a member of the economics honor society.

The senior captain led Gettysburg to its fourth consecutive Centennial Conference title this spring. The Bullets qualified for the NCAA Division III Women's Golf Championship for the first time in program history and are currently competing in the event in Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla.

Girls Go Golfing High-Fives Michelle Wie; a champion golfer & artist who personifies "coolio-panache," just saying!


Congratulations to Michelle Wie, who last week won the 2014 LPGA LOTTE Tournament in Hawaii, an important victory for Wie as well as the LPGA Tour.

It was just 11 years ago that my husband and I first met Michelle Wie. It was at the 2003 Shoprite Classic held at Seaview's Bay Course in Galloway, NJ. We were down there because we were golf fans. Also, my husband was the sports editor of the largest weekly newspaper in New Jersey. Both of us also happened to be volunteers with the local LPGA-USGA girls golf chapter in Hunterdon County.
Michelle was not enrolled in high school yet. It was so cool that a number of our junior golfers got to see her play and get their pictures taken with Michelle. The 13-year-old Wie was enthusiastic and had a 100-watt smile as she interacted with her fans. She played in this event on a sponsor's exemption and tied for 52d place. 
My husband had contracted me to be his photographer for the day. My badge allowed me in the press tent. Naturally, I had to be at Michelle's press conference. The room was packed and I waited patiently for everyone to ask their questions. When Michelle was done, I walked up to where she was still seated signing autographs.
I handed her a 2002-2003 USGA The Rules of Golf rules book. She looked at me quizzically and then shrugged her shoulders and got her sharpie ready saying," Why am I signing a rules book?"
I laughed, asked if she could give me some help with playing the shot and told her my little golf secret. And added,"Michelle, you are going to be a great champion and win bunches of golf tournaments some day. I am so glad my junior golfers got to meet you and watch you play."
Now, years later she seems to be on her way. She has dealt with an unbelievable amount of criticism stemming from her days when she played in the PGA tour Sony Open (only missing the cut by one stroke!) In 2006, my husband saw her in the 36-hole US Men's Open qualifier at Canoebrook along side David Gossett (He won a PGA Tour event.) There were 150 men there plus one woman. She beat both her fellow competitors that day shooting 68-75 and just missed qualifying for the men's open.  You remember the U.S. Open at Winged Foot? The drama unfolding down the stretch as Phil Mickelson tragically loses. Imagine if Michelle had been there from the start of the championship week. The crowds were spectacular following her during the qualifying round (see photo below)
Then there were the 4-1/2 years she was playing golf and earning her college degree in communications from Stanford.
Add to it some rules infractions along the way and the years when she totally lost confidence in her putting which put more pressure on all aspects of her game.

And while on the subject of rules, the unidentified woman kneeling above the bunker looking at the ball with a horrible lie pictured on the cover of that 2002-2003 USGA Rule Book Michelle signed was me!

UPPERCO, Md.  
Senior Kara McNulty (Flemington, N.J./Hunterdon Central) and the Gettysburg College women's golf team continued their outstanding play this season with dominant efforts at the Stevenson University Invitational held at Piney Branch Golf Club over the weekend.

Gettysburg won its third consecutive event and sixth overall this season by leaving the rest of the field in the rear-view mirror. The Bullets carded a 697 during the two-day tournament, 50 strokes ahead of runner-up Bridgewater (Va.) College.

McNulty steered the team once again, extending her own school record and breaking the Centennial Conference mark with her seventh tournament victory of the season. The senior logged two birdies on the par-71, 5,801-yard course on the opening day en route to a 79, marking her fifth round in the 70s this season. McNulty capped the tournament with an 81 and finished 11 strokes ahead of runner-up Marin Warring (171) of Bridgewater.

The victory was McNulty's 15 career title, extending her own school record. She broke the season wins record previously set by McDaniel College's Kelly Cramp in 2005.

McNulty had plenty of company at the top of the leaderboard as junior Lauren Sobotka (North Caldwell, N.J./Mount St. Dominic Academy) and freshmen Nicole Petrocchi(Whitehouse Station, N.J./Hunterdon Central) and Sarah Hansen (Cumberland, Maine/Greely) each finished in the top 10 for the third consecutive tournament. Sobotka recorded her lowest round of the season on Saturday with an 84 and closed with an 88 on Sunday to secure third place. Petrocchi posted an 87 on day one and a 95 on day two to finished tied with Amanda Beebe of Swarthmore College for sixth overall, while Hansen finished two strokes back in a tie for eighth with 184 (90-94).
