CHEETAH EARNS 6TH AT US KIDS WORL
Chapter student Cheetah Baez is making waves in the junior golf circuit. With just under two years of experience, she’s already a force to be reckoned with.
Recently, Cheetah showcased her talent on the grandest stage in junior golf, the US KIDS World Championship at Pinehurst. Competing against over 2,300 young golfers worldwide, Cheetah displayed remarkable resilience, overcoming a challenging start to secure an impressive sixth-place finish in her age group.
Her competitive spirit extends beyond the world stage. Cheetah has clinched the spring and summer local US KIDS Tour Championship in West Palm Beach and Stuart. Her exceptional skills earned her a spot in the sub-regional Drive, Chip and Putt competition. Cheetah also dominated the local qualifiers at Mirasol Country Club capturing blue ribbons for Drive, Chip, and Overall performance.
With a personal best of 3 under par, Cheetah recognizes several areas for improvement and is diligently working on her short game with her coaches Gabbie Budd, LPGA, and David Ladd. While she thrives on the thrill of competition, Cheetah’s true passion lies in the camaraderie shared with her golfing friends.
Cheetah’s inspiring journey is a testament to hard work, dedication, and a love for the game. She hopes to inspire more young girls to pick up a club and discover the joy of golf. As she wisely advises, golf is a lifelong journey that teaches patience, perseverance, and the importance of a well-defined process. Most importantly, Cheetah encourages everyone to have fun while chasing their golfing dreams.

SWINGING FOR HEROES
Jensen Beach Golf Club proudly hosts a special golf class for our local veterans led by Coach Wayne Huffines. Our veterans’ programs, designed to honor and support those who have served, offer a unique opportunity for our nation’s heroes to receive personalized golf instruction. Veterans are guided through the fundamental techniques and advanced strategies, tailored to all skill levels. Following the instructional session, participants have the chance to put their newfound skills to the test on the golf course. The classes are filled with camaraderie and learning, creating a vibrant and supportive atmosphere on the greens.
Army veteran Marc Iverson, a new member of Coach Wayne’s veterans’ golf class, shared his enthusiasm for golf and its impact on his life: “Golf has been a humbling and joyful experience for me,” Marc said with a smile. “It’s a beautiful game that teaches patience and perseverance, qualities that resonate deeply with my military background. This class has not only helped me refine my skills but also provided a supportive community where I feel truly valued. It’s been an incredible journey, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally.”
