 Jake Knapp isn’t sure if he aced his senior project, but the Estancia High senior has confidence he did well. He chose entrepreneurial clothing design for his yearlong class endeavor. His methodical approach to a busy schedule allowed him to devote enough time to prepare for a solid presentation. Swagger always has been a major factor for the UCLA commit from Costa Mesa. That confidence has been challenged since he landed on the cover of Southland Golf magazine for the May Junior Golf issue. He’s enjoyed great experiences, and other ordeals that left him saying, “That’s the game of golf.” “I got a lot of attention from [the cover,]” Knapp said. “I have never been on the cover of a magazine. It was a really neat experience. It was a cool honor. It’s hopefully a sign of more things to come.” Another attention-getter came May 16 when he shot an amazing 10-under-par 61 to win the U.S. Open local qualifier at Newport Beach Country Club. It was the best score of any local qualifier in the nation. It was also one shot off the course record shared by Nick Price (2011) and Tom Purtzer (2004) in the Toshiba Classic. On June 4, he missed the cut at the U.S. Open Sectional Qualifying when he finished tied for 77th. It was Knapp’s second time competing in an Open sectional qualifier. “I felt a lot more relaxed, I felt like I deserved to be there,” said Knapp, who’ll play July 20-22 in the SCGA Amateur Championship at Big Canyon Country Club. “I got off to a bad start. I had a couple of bad shots that cost me. It’s kind of a bummer. You’ve just got to learn from it and hope for a better result.” |

I suggest you inevst an hour or so of your time and go to your local library. There are literally thousands of books about hundreds of aspects of the game: etiquette; fitness; famous personalities and players; course design; and of course game improvement.Check out anything by Harvey Penick his colors series (Little Red Book, Little Green Book, etc.) are understood to be classics.You may also benefit from grabbing an issue of Golf Digest or another golf magazine. Some of the more advanced topics may be of no use to you, but it will give you a good overview of current issues and equipment in the golfing world today. Best of luck!
