TOWSON, Md. - Over the next 8
weeks, Tiger fans and golf enthusiasts will have the opportunity to
take virtual "lessons" from the pros — Jeff Castle, Men's Golf
Assistant Coach and Kate Stepanek, Women's Golf Head Coach – with
"Tiger Tips".
Just some of the topics that will
be discussed include: putting, getting out of bunkers, different club
grips and how to properly tee up your ball.
As one of the best golfers in
Towson's history, Castle was named the Colonial Athletic Association
Player of the Year twice. He has remained extremely competitive since
graduating in 2007.
In 2008, Castle finished second in
the Maryland Open. He made seven of 10 cuts on the Tar Heel Tour that
year, including four finishes in the top 12. In 2009, he finished fifth
in earnings on the Gateway Tour Winter Series. Castle finished second in
two events while making five of seven cuts. He also competed in four
Tar Heel Tour events and made the cut in three of those four events.
Castle advanced to the second stage of Tour Qualifying School that
year.
Stepanek was a two-time All-ACC
golfer and four-year letter winner at the University of Maryland. The
first female golfer at Maryland to turn pro, she competed on the Duramed
FUTURES Tour. After qualifying school she earned exempt status and
played in 14 events.
The series of tips begin just in
time to remind fans that positions are still available for the June
29th, Towson Hall of Fame Black & Gold Invitational, taking place at
Towson Golf & Country Club. To learn more/register CLICK HERE.
