Congratulations to Golf Academy Teaching Pro Marjorie Jones on winning the Senior Division of the 2010 Calloway
Championship held at The Ace Club in Lafayette
Hill, PA over the last 2 days! This tournament was the Sectional Championship for the North East Section of the LPGA Teachers and Club Professionals tour.
We wish her the best of luck as she competes for the 54-hole National Championship at the Golf Club at Ballantyne in Charlotte, NC from September 10-12. She will compete against a field of the top 144 LPGA T&CP players throughout the United States.
From LPGA.com - The LPGA Teaching and Club Professional's showcase
event began in 1983 to provide additional playing opportunities for LPGA
Teaching and Club Professionals. The event has since grown to become
recognized as the premier tournament for women teaching and club
professionals in the world.
Congratulations to Field House Gymnastics Coach Zak Kerkoulas for
breaking the Guinness World Record for the Roman Rings Hanging Duration!
150 campers cheered Zak on at the Field House as he held the position

Committee, Zak broke the previous record of 32.84 by 6.39 seconds. Way
to go, Zak!

The Golf Academy's very own Marjorie Jones was recently interviewed and featured on the Gotham Golf Blog. Marge instructed founder/writer Ralph Perez on the use of FlightScope and sat down for an interview on her own background and her take on the game of golf.
Excerpted from Gotham Golf Blog: "If there are any female readers out there who are interested in pursuing
a Professional Golf career, whether it be teaching or playing, I
suggest you give Marjorie a call. I could not think of a better mentor.
At the same time if you are a female or beginning golfer who might be
intimidated by the game, I would also recommend Marjorie. As you will
see, her goals are to make the learning experience as enjoyable as
possible."
To book a lesson with Marge and/or try a FlightScope session, call the Golf Academy at 212.336.6444.
The Golf Club would like to congratulate Willy Chang on winning the Chelsea Cup for the month of July! By shooting a 45 on the back nine of St. Andrew's on our virtual simulator, he has won a complimentary round at Van Cortlandt Golf Course!
This is the second win in a row and third of the year for Mr. Chang. He previously won the tournament during the months of April and June and now holds second place in the Player of the Year standings. At the end of the year, the Player of the Year will receive two round trip tickets on Jet Blue valid anywhere in the US!
The Chelsea Cup runs year-round and features a different course each month (August is the Bridgestone Invitational). Competitors, join us to play nine holes on the simulators at your leisure throughout the month and compare your scores to those who have already played! Each monthly winner receives a prize and every competitor earns points towards their Player of the Year score simply for playing.
