Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy - 7.03.10 - Kelly Sheehan, LPGA & PGA & Contestant on BIG BREAK Sandals - Hour 2 Jul 03, 2010

Show notes

While Kelly Sheehan might be the lone contestant currently not competing on the professional circuit, she plans to channel her 10 years of experience as a certified PGA of America and LPGA teaching professional to overcome the various challenges facing her.

After graduating from Florida Southern College with a degree in sports management, her career path took her to the business side of golf. As Big Break Sandals Resorts’ oldest contestant, Sheehan says, “I wanted to earn success in the business world before attempting to play professionally.”

Her resume is living proof. Sheehan is a dual Class A Member of the PGA of America and the LPGA Teaching and Club Professional division, and has received numerous awards during her career, including LPGA Golf Professional of the Year, PGA Merchandiser of the Year, and was the first female head golf professional within the Marriott / Ritz-Carlton family (Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando, Fla.). She believes her success on the business side of golf gives her a mental edge on the course.

Sheehan began playing golf at 12, when her father suggested lessons with a local female PGA Professional. Shortly thereafter, she chose golf as an elective class in grade school. When she defeated all of the boys after her first class, she realized she would play golf the rest of her life. She excelled at high school golf in Wisconsin, earning the Wisconsin Junior Player of the Year at 17. She was awarded a golf and academic scholarship to Florida Southern College, garnering 2nd Team All-America honors during the 1998-99 season. Sheehan competed in three NCAA Championships and took third place individually her junior year, breaking the record low score for the tournament on the final day. She also qualified for the U.S. Amateur and U.S. Public Links her junior year of college, and competed in several Duramed FUTURES Tour events as an amateur. Currently, she is a teaching professional at Reunion Resort and Club in Orlando.Click here for the Deal of the Week courtesy of Golflandwarehouse.com use promo code "GTR" for BIG discounts!

Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy - 7.03.10 - Sofie Andersson, Professional Golfer - Hour 1 Jul 03, 2010

Show notes

My name is Sofie Andersson and I am a professional golfer from Sweden who currently resides in California. Playing primarily on the Duramed Futures Tour, I am in my third year as a professional golfer. I gained a lot of experience both on and off of the course during my first two seasons and am now looking forward to benefiting and taking advantage of that knowledge. “...playing on the Duramed Futures Tour...” Since I began playing golf at the age of 10, growing up in Sweden, the game has become a part of my everyday life. I have learned so much from the game of golf and it has dictated many paths I have taken. At 16, I began attending a high school run by the Swedish Golf Federation. After three years of study and competition, I made my way across the Atlantic Ocean to the United States to study and play collegiate golf. “...bachelor’s degree in International Political Economy...” In December 2006, I completed a bachelor’s degree in Political Economy of Industrial Societies at the University of California. As a student-athlete at California, I was honored All-America selection three times (2004-06). Additionally, I established a new program scoring average of 74.2 and posted a tournament victory at the 2005 Spartan Invitational. “...World Amateur Team Championships gold medal...” As an amateur, I also played with the Swedish National Team from 1999-06. In 2004, I was part of the three-player team that captured Sweden’s first World Amateur Team Championships gold medal at the competition in Puerto Rico. Two years later at the event in South Africa, we earned the silver medal.

I enjoy the game of golf for the constant challenges it provides me. I love having the chance to always be able to get better, and the competition it gives me. I appreciate the many opportunities I have been given, the many people I have met, and places I have visited.
