The NGCA coaches convention in Las Vegas went great. It is always good to connect with coaches you don't see that often and meet new ones. There were over 160 women's golf coaches, from all 3 divisions, in attendance. They had two great speakers. The 1st was Rick Rigsby. Rick spoke on "Making an impact." How do we live our lives and make an impact in others. If you've never heard of Rick, go visit his website. He ended his talk with a great quote "Good enough isn't good enough if it can be better; better isn't good enough if it can be best." The other great speaker was Tim Elmore. He spoke on how can we relate to this "Generation iY." He has a couple great books that I purchased and plan on reading over break. You can find more information on Tim here.
On a different note, three of our golfers on the men's team (Kyle Lewis, John Potter, and Nick Jarrett) have an awesome opportunity this weekend. They will be traveling down to Dallas, TX to spend the weekend at the house of PGA Tour Golfer Ben Crane!! Ben has won twice this year on the PGA Tour and is currently ranked 39th in the world. This is a tremendous opportunity for these three and a wonderful learning experience. Kyle, John and Nick will be updating this blog on a daily basis this weekend and hopefully will have some pictures to post also. Keep checking back for the updates!
Lastly, next week we will also start the "Get to know them" feature. Basically this is a quick Q&A with a current player.
