Sisters Across America Chooses Tour Candidate
Sisters
Across America, Inc., announces the selection of Shasta
Averyhardt of Flint Michigan, as our candidate for assistance in becoming an LPGA
Tour Professional.
Shasta grew up in Flint’s two major golf
development programs, Flint Inner City Junior Golf Association, and Flint
Junior Golf Association. After capturing the Flint Junior Golf
Association Junior Championship in the summer of 2003, she went on to be the
runner-up in the summer of 2004.
While at
Flint Central, Shasta was the first to lead Flint Central High to a city golf
championship and the first girl from a Flint school to qualify for a state golf
tournament. Shasta was also named All-state in golf as a sophomore and
junior at Flint Central High School, Flint, Michigan. After transferring
to Grand Blanc High, Shasta was named co-captain and headed the team to the
state championship in East Lansing on the Michigan State Golf Course.
By the end of
high school, Shasta was an avid golfer and a force to deal with in girl’s
amateur golf in Michigan. Impressively, Shasta has won titles in summer
programs in Michigan, including State of Michigan Powerbilt Champion, the State
Westfield PGA qualifier, and the State of Michigan Independent Insurance
Company qualifier. PGA teaching professional Rick Kent, Loch Lomond Golf
Course, Grand Blanc, Michigan has likened Shasta’s swing to that of Michele Wie. |

Coach Eddie Payton. Jackson State has always been first and second in the
