PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – The Keiser University College of Golf proudly announces that student Bower Harris of Knoxville, Tenn., successfully qualified for the 20th Annual Florida State Golf Association Amateur Match Play Championship.
The Amateur Match Play Championship was played this year at the Southern Hills Plantation Golf Club, a private Pete Dye course in the Tampa area, featuring elevations of up to 250 feet and distances of up to 7,557 yards. The annual championship event brought together 64 players from across Florida who placed during one of the state’s qualifying tournaments or earned exemptions.
“Playing in the Amateur Match Play Championship is a tremendous achievement and we’re very proud of Bower for becoming one of only 64 players in the state to compete at this year’s championship,” says John McMurray, vice president of Keiser University College of Golf. “Playing competitively is always a great learning experience, but it’s not a requirement for having a fun and successful career in the golf industry. The true secret to success is having a love of the game and all of our students at Keiser University College of Golf have that in abundance.”
The Keiser University College of Golf features a 20,000-square-foot facility includes a 1,500-square-foot indoor putting green, advanced launch monitor technology, TaylorMade MAT-T swing analysis system, an interactive golf simulator provided by ForeGolf powered by SIRGUL, and a golf club repair lab equipped by Mitchell Golf Equipment. Students also receive access to the highly acclaimed PGA Center for Golf Learning and Performance where they can practice on a 35-acre lighted practice range, short game areas, bunker facility and extensive putting greens. Keiser University College of Golf also gives students daily access to several PGA Master Professionals, such as Brian Hughes, Dr. Eric Wilson, and Golf Magazine top 100 teacher T.J. Tomasi.
Keiser University’s Associate of Science degree in Golf Management prepares students for a variety of positions in the golf industry. In this program, students are prepared to provide golf instruction, manage golf course operations, ensure appropriate maintenance of golf facilities and equipment, as well as integrate the play of golf into the broader hospitality and recreation domain.
