Laura Brown wins National Coach of the Year 2010 Award
The Ladies Professional Golf Association Teaching and Club Professional (LPGA T&CP) membership has honoured Laura Brown with the National Coach of the Year Award for 2010. Brown at present is the head coach for the Daytona State Women Golf team.
Laura Brown has an impressive record to back her claim for the newly earned award. She won the National Junior Athletic Association from the year 2009 to 2010. Other than coaching many All-American teams, the head coach also mentored the National Junior
College Athletic Association (NJCAA) individual champions at the national level.
According to Brown, she is honoured with the award and further added that receiving an internationally recognized award like this was a great feeling. The coach believed that her hard vocation with the players finally paid off and will add a lot to her professional
record. The coach said that other than being a great addition to her professional documentation, this award will play an equally important role for her school as well as the golf program.
Brown started her program in 1998 at the Daytona State College as coach and maintained her position ever since. Brown marked her 2010 season as the Lady Falcon’s Golf team controller for the 13th year. Due to her presence, Brown has been able
to win 4 National Championships of the National Junior College Athletic Association. Other than these victories, she has coached the All-Americans which include two individual Championships.
The woman from Florida is the winner of the National High School Athletic Association in the year 1987. Brown then received a golf scholarship from the University of Florida. Laura Brown claimed the South Eastern Conference Freshman of the Year award and
is the winner of the Doral State Collegiate Championship in the year 1990. Other than these honours, the Florida native was the member of 1991 SEC Championship team. She turned professional in 1994 after playing several mini-tours after her graduation.
She has had a continued involvement in the LPGA as a Class-A member with the T&CP Division. Brown has been the president of the Women Golf Coach Association of the NJCAA. She was also included in the 2009 Hall of Fame for NJCAA’s coaches.
The main reason that the Head Coach has continued with her career was because she enjoyed seeing her players evolve into better players. Brown still believes that her job is highly rewarding when it comes to watching her juvenile golfers turn into highly
skilled mature young ladies.
