Hi Fans-- Happy New Year! I want to start out by thanking you all for your continued support. I believe 2009 will be my best year yet! After putting in a lot of hard work with my
instructor Kelley Phillips and my girls from Vision 54, I made it through q school to give me full playing privileges for this year. Without the support from you fans, friends, and
family, it would not have been possible. I hope that you will continue to follow me and keep sending me the well wishes. This year,
I will be able to respond to your emails and guestbook submissions, so any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
|
Thanks again,
Marcy

Historical Statistics

IN THE BAG
WOODS
|
|
Callaway Big Bertha Fusion FT-3 Driver
Optimized for you with 460cc of carbon composite and titanium construction science that allows us to move an amazing amount of discretionary weight and put it where you need it most. Each weight/loft combination is uniquely designed to actively influence your specific ball flight and get you farther down the fairway and closer to the green. Maybe even right on it. Standard models have optimized Center of Gravity positions, face angles and lofts that allow you to get the ball airborne easily with distance-enhancing trajectories.
|
|
Tour Edge 3 Wood
The Iron-Wood's forgiving 431 stainless steel, wood-shaped head, along with a gigantic sweet spot and heavy sole, will help your long approach shots fly higher and straighter, landing softly on the green.
|
|
Taylor Made Rescue Hybrids (3, 4, & 5)
The new TaylorMade Rescue Dual features two TLC (TaylorMade Launch Control) ports for cartridges that can be easily installed or removed, changing the center of gravity to create a larger draw bias or promote a neutral trajectory resulting in greater accuracy and/or increased distance.
|
IRONS
|
|
Tayler Made Burner Irons
New multi-functional sole with beveled trailing edge combines the easy launch of a low CG with the extreme versatility of a thin sole
Medium top-line and intermediate offset offers a clean and classic appearance at address and excellent playability
Thin and fast face (2.2-millimeters thick) delivers high COR to promote faster ball speed and longer distance
Inverted Cone Technology dramatically expands the portion of the clubface that delivers high COR for consistently longer distance on off-center hits
|
|
Taylor Made TP Wedges
Milled Z grooves with aggressive edges and increased volume deliver higher spin for more stopping power
Tour-proven C grind sole makes it easy to open the face differing degrees to play a variety of greenside shots (54°, 56° and 58° only)
Smoked PVD finish reduces glare and promotes improved focus
|
PUTTER
|
|
Scotty Cameron Newport Squareback Select
The Tour-proven Squareback will remind players of the Newport head style with its familiar lines, including the milled sight line in the flange. However, it’s the signature square flange Scotty designed that gave the putter its name.
The Squareback 1 maintains the same headweight as other Studio Select models, but it has a slightly thicker topline. This model also continues Scotty's technologically-advanced Studio Select putter design aesthetic with its bold, Tour-inspired Cherry Dot graphics, precision milled 303 stainless steel head, and factory interchangeable weights.

Marcy Hart is interviewed by the local media.
|
The 1st Annual Marcy Hart LPGA Charity Classic Pro-Am was held at the Willow Creek course of High Point Country Club on Monday, July 2, 2007. The Tournament benefited FRIENDS FOR AN EARLIER BREAST CANCER TEST®, the Greensboro based non-profit organization dedicated solely to funding research to find an earlier biological test for breast cancer. The event raised an impressive $50,000 for earlier detection test research – $10,000 more than the original goal set by the event committee when planning began last year. Title sponsors of the event were American Trucking Association (ATA), Silver Investments, and Volvo.
Current LPGA Pros in attendance were: Marcy Hart, Stephanie Louden, Ashli Bunch, Lee Ann Walker-Cooper, Kristy McPherson, Kris Tschetter (who aced Willow Creek's hole #3 during Monday play), A.J. Eathorne, Nancy Scranton, Karin Sjodin, Pat Hurst, Wendy Ward, Brittany Lincicome, Vicki Goetze-Ackerman, Angela Jerman, Tina Barrett, Stacy Prammanasudh, Sherri Turner, Hilary Lunke, Lisa Fernandes, and Cathy Johnston-Forbes. PGA Tour Driving Distance leader Bubba Watson attended as a special guest and commanded a remarkable $6000 at auction to join a foursome for Monday's play at the Pairings Party and Silent Auction hosted at Willow Creek on Sunday night, July 1st. Watson had most recently finished 5th at the 107th U.S. Open at Oakmont, PA, only the second major of his young career.
