Senior Justin Holmes of the Cardinals' 2013 golf team will join Campbell University's PGA golf program this fall.
Senior Justin Holmes of Cheltonham, Maryland, has accepted admission to Campbell University’s prestigious PGA Golf Management Program for the fall 2013 session. Admission to the program, according to Campbell, is granted through a competitive process to the most qualified applicants based on the quality of the SAT/ACT scores, grade point averages, golf proficiency, recommendations, and an interview.
The North Carolina school limits enrollment in their four and a half year program to 50. In addition to a full academic schedule, the program places their students in a competitive tournament each weekend.
The Campbell course is 1 of only 19 PGA-sanctioned golf schools in the country. These PGA Golf Management students are given unlimited access to the Keith Hills Golf Club, a 27-hole facility owned by University and managed by the PGA Golf Management Program. Campbell is also the only PGA Golf Management Program that jointly offers a Bachelor of Business Adminstration degree (BBA) and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree as part of their 3/2 program. This program allows students to apply for admission to the Graduate Program in Business at the end of their junior year and earn both a BBA and MBA in just five years.
By reputation the School’s golf curriculum is rigorous. In addition to the extensive classroom studies and competitive tournaments every weekend, Holmes will also have an opportunity to qualify to play in the annual Jones Cup and Carolinas’ Cup. To complete the full program, all PGAGM students must complete 16+ months of internships at accredited PGA facilities and pass the Playing Ability Test (PAT). Graduates are immediately eligible for membership in the PGA of America.
Coach Pete Davey was enthusiastic about Justin’s decision. “He’s the first player from our program to attend a PGA program like this. In his three years with our team I have never coached a player that has made as much progress as Justin. I think he’s going excel as a pro.”
Justin is a three year member of the Bishop Ireton golf team, sporting a 9 handicap. He is the son of Mr. & Mrs. Mark Holmes.
