2017 LPGA Q-School

[jsgolfer]

Our best female player at Springfield G&CC just made the cut in Stage 1 of the LPGA Q-School at the Mission Hills CC in Rancho Mirage CA.  This gets her limited status on the Symetra Tour.

She finished tied for 38th out of 356 players, shooting 75-71-71-69 (-2).  That gets her to the second stage playing at the Plantation Golf and Country Club in Venice, FL (Bobcat and Panther courses).  October 19-22

So cool...

I don't think mentioning her name violates her personal privacy. I will refrain from doing so even though the scoring is unique to one person.  It is cool to be acquainted with someone who is successful on any tour.  I know I followed the results for a few young ladies whom I played with or met when the Symetra Tour came to town (back then it had a different sponsor - Duramed).

She wouldn't care if I mention her name.  When she's not out playing in tournaments, she plays in the men's group I play in.  I'm hoping she fares well at the next stage, if she could hit the ball just a little farther.  She's around 230 off the tee, but deadly accurate.

BTW, Lauren Doughtie  - 2008 and Cindy Morris - 2005 are both current active players at my club.. EMCC. I have never been in the same group as Lauren when she plays in our weekend group but have played in the group behind her a few times.

And this is why I find women's golf so interesting. I know they're not as good as the guys - even at the skills that don't require power - but to have that much distance control and consistently hit accurate shots with longer clubs is just an amazing skill from my perspective.

I hope she does well in October.

Unfortunately she didn't play as well to make it to Stage III, but she does receive limited Symetra Tour Status.
