Friedberg's golf star Johanna Kirch in the national squad - a new chapter!
There is reason to be happy in the Hessian golf scene: Johanna Kirch from Friedberg has been nominated for the national squad of the German Golf Association (DGV). The 17-year-old golfer proved to be an absolute top performer for the Frankfurt Bundesliga women last season. With remarkable achievements and the talent that she has demonstrated in recent years, she is now one of the ten best amateur golfers in Germany up to the age of 23. This reports fnp.de.
The young athlete has impressed not only in the Bundesliga, but also in international competitions. She took part in the European Championships and even set course records. She demonstrated her skills in the screening course at the beginning of October at the Golf Club St. Leon-Rot, where national coach Esther Poburski informed her about her nomination for the Junior Golf Team Germany. This special funding enables her to take part in international courses and tournaments.
A steep rise in golf
Johanna Kirch only began her golf career in 2019 through a school project and was quickly accepted into the Hessen squad due to her talent. Her trainer Verena Scholz particularly praises her commitment and ability to cope with setbacks. During the Bundesliga season she was one of the best players at the Frankfurt Golf Club and won two tournaments on the Global Junior Golf Tour, finishing one of them with a course record.
In addition to her achievements, she won bronze at the International Amateur Championship for Girls and at the German Championship in the 18 age group. These successes are also reflected in her current position in the international amateur world rankings, where she is currently in 851st place. This placement could affect her eligibility to compete in future tournaments, but the talented golfer already has clear goals: She is aiming for a scholarship to a US college.
Support and future prospects
The Augustinian School in Friedberg supports her during her absences at tournaments and helps her catch up on the learning material. Johanna also hopes to take part in the European Team Championships in July next year, which will take place during the Hessian summer holidays. Your development so far is a prime example of how quickly you can advance in golf if you are passionate and dedicated.
With such an impressive record, it is clear that the golfer Johanna Kirch will make a name for herself not only in Hesse, but also far beyond the state's borders. It will certainly be exciting to see how she continues to shape her career - she undoubtedly has the talent!
