Covington Catholic senior to play for Team USA

 

Congrats to Alex Volpenhein.

I had heard about this a few weeks ago and was wondering when it would be announced.

 

That's big time.

I read this in the C-J Sports today...that is great!!

The next JB Holmes?

Congrats to Volp. Winning the Junior PGA, then being asked to be one of only 4 on team USA... not a bad year at all.

Any word on how his back is holding up?

Very well. I have no medical proof or anything but he is at full mobililty and looks comfortable.

I had the pleasure of watching Alex play Elks Run on Tuesday. He's hitting the ball extremely long. The sound coming off the club face is so different than a couple of years ago. Volp had a tough second shot on a par 5 out of some longish rough, the result of the shot wasn't a thing of beauty but the lack of pain in his back was.

 

Team USA "stuff" has been delivered...how cool is that? :thumb:

 

and a letter of congratulations from the President!!! and Mrs. Bush.

 

Enjoy the experience, Alex!
