We are thrilled to share the incredible news of Shadow Wood Member, Kim Scott and her triumph at the 2023 PGA National Club Championship in Scottsdale, AZ. As a long-time member and the current Ladies Club Champion at Shadow Wood CC, Kim showcased her exceptional skill and determination on a national stage. The PGA National Club Championship brings together amateur club champions from across the country, all invited by their respective facility’s PGA of America Professional to compete in this event.
Despite trailing by seven shots, in a tie for sixth place, Kim demonstrated resilience in the final round, shooting an impressive 71 to capture the Women’s Senior Division title. In a field of talented club champions from different corners of the country, this victory adds another prestigious accolade to Kim’s remarkable collection including earning 2023 Florida State Golf Association (FSGA) Women’s Senior Player of the Year honor. In 2020, she was named Florida State Golf Association’s Women’s Senior Player of the Year. She also placed 3rd in the North & South Senior Amateur at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club, 7th in the Florida State Mid-Amateur, 3rd in the Ranking Series Tournament, 2nd in the Florida State Senior Amateur, and 1st in the prestigious WSGA Senior Amateur Championship. Kim has clinched an impressive 16 Club Championships, with a streak of 14 consecutive wins. Her only absence from winning was due to her participation in the FSGA Senior Championship in 2021, a competition she emerged victorious in.
With a final score of 9-over 224, Kim secured her triumph, finishing just one stroke ahead of the second-place contender, Kim Shek from Sahalee Country Club, and two strokes ahead of Susan West from NorthRiver Yacht Club. Her journey to the top of the leaderboard on the final day showcased her skill, marked by birdies on the par-5 456-yard 3rd and the par-3 144-yard 13th. Kim's final round of 1-under 71 was the lowest individual round in the Women’s Senior Division, highlighting her exceptional performance.
This victory not only underscores Kim's individual excellence but also brings honor to Shadow Wood Country Club. Let us join in congratulating Kim Scott on this remarkable achievement and look forward to more successes from our outstanding Members in the future.
