Dear Junior Golf Community,

The Future Champions Golf Digital Magazine launched in March 2021 and aims to become the leading junior golf publication worldwide. This is an exciting time in the game of golf as the sport is booming on all levels. In recent years, golf was really only growing in competitive golf but since the pandemic hit and people’s interests have changed, golf has become the game of choice for many.

In each issue of the magazine, we have goals to inspire junior golfers and educate parents on the process of becoming a great player and more importantly, how to love the game. We think golf is so important for families and wish every family could golf together for a lifetime. As a parent, what more could you want than being able to spend several hours out on the golf course with your kids for a lifetime.

We hope you enjoy our June issue. Should you have any feedback or interests for future issues, please let us know. Advertisers, please contact us for more information on how to be involved with our growing community. As always, we hope you play the game with passion, keep your head up high, walk with a purpose and enjoy your time outdoors playing golf.

The team sent Jaclyn notes and pictures and videos (before Facebook or Instagram was a thing) and really kept her spirits high during her treatment. We went from being alone and isolated to having an entire new support system. One day, during treatment, a little girl that was sharing a room with Jaclyn asked her, “who keeps calling and texting you?” Again, this was before we were all attached to our phones without much thought about WELCOME TO THE NEDZONE! it.

So where does FCG come into play? Chris, director of FCG, had heard about Friends of Jaclyn and wanted to find a way to help our mission. Chris’ mis- sion is to help young golfers grow and develop their skills, but he wanted to bring another passion of his, helping people, to these young athletes. Chris introduced Friends of Jaclyn to FCG in 2015 when he worked with a coach from to get a boy from California adopted by a local golf team (Fallbrook HS) and the Hong Kong team. This was our first golf team, and our first interna- tional adoption. Chris took his passion and helped to make a difference in the lives of a family hit with devastating news. Chris, without even knowing, was a NEDvocate.

FCG TOURNAMENTS WILL SEE A LOT OF COLLEGE COACHES AGAIN THIS SUMMER! 20 21 Lauren Woodburn, Performance Coach for Young Golfers at Lauren Woodburn Coaching 3 THINGS YOU CAN START DOING TODAY TO INCREASE YOUR CONFIDENCE:

Choose to believe you’re a fierce competitor, or that you’re a great putter, or that you have the ability to win any tournament. Tell yourself until you believe it. You can even put a note on your bag or your ball to help TAKE BACK POWER remind you.

1 Keep commitments to yourself no matter what. If you say you’re going to get up at 6:30 a.m. to work out, you do it. If you tell yourself you’re going to put in 3 hours of practice today, you do it. This will help you to trust Over Your Round yourself and when trust is high, doubt fades away and your self confidence will increase. I’ve noticed something about a lot of the players I work with Believe in yourself anyways. See the potential of your round 2 and watch. Whenever players hit a great shot or a really poor anyways. Be confident anyways. Believe you’re a great golfer Imagine your future. Where do you see yourself in 5 shot in competition, they always look at someone right after- anyways.

How do you carry yourself? them are either their parents or their coaches. them the power. What awards or scholarships have you won? The more you look to the future, the stronger your belief will be Whose reaction means the most to you when you compete? One of my favorite quotes is by Theodore Roosevelt, that what you envision in it can actually happen.

I’ll tell you who’s reaction should mean the most to you. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out 3 Do these three things and you will start to see what YOURS. how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds you’re capable of. And that’s the real game-changer! could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man

They’re going to make their own judgments without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive because they’re humans and they have brains. They’ll make to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great the judgement through their own lens as a parent, coach or devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the competitor. best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, But their lens doesn’t matter because they don’t have to hit so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid the next shot, you do.
