I just read that Vicky Hurst won her 3rd Future's Tour event this past weekend.

Does anyone know if the LPGA gives an automatic "battlefield promotion" for players on the developmental tour with 3 wins in a season (like the PGA does for the Nationwide Tour)? Thanks.

I don't believe there is a battlefield promotion of any kind for Futures Tour success. However, if anyone wins three times on the Futures Tour, they should definitely get an automatic promotion to the LPGA Tour. In all reality though, anyone who wins three times will probably finish high enough on the money list (top three get their LPGA Tour card I believe) anyway.

No "battlefield" promotion, and top 5 on the money list get LPGA exemptions. I remember a girl from the big break finished 5th two years ago and got a spot, I think she earned 30-40 grand or something like that for the year.

Vickie won her 4th Duramed Futures event of 2008 (in 8 tournaments) today; she's leading money winner (to date) by more than $12,000 (and $12,000 on the Duramed Futures Tour is big bucks).

She's from Melbourne, FL. Played for Holy Trinity Academy (High School). She dominated the local scene. I believe she competed in an LPGA event earlier in the year and missed the cut if I remembr correctly. As a previous posted stated, has an exception coming up. Since she is playing well right now, should be interesting to see how she does with the "big girls".

Even on the Duramed Futures Tour, winning 4 times in 8 events is pretty doggone good. Don't forget Lorena Ochoa, Nicole Castrale, Karrie Webb & Cristina Kim (among others) played on the Futures Tour, so although it's a pretty weak Tour, some (although very few) pretty good golfers got their start there. And it wouldn't be a major surprise if Vicky Hurst turned out to be a pretty good LPGA player.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
