Heavens accomplishes third golf goal of 2010 (8/10/10)

Four years ago, Christian Heavens knew he was good enough to play NCAA Division I golf. But, the star of The First Tee chapter of St. Louis understood what President Bill Crouch was creating on the small college level was special - so, instead he cast his lot with the unique First Tee Scholars program of Georgetown College.

The rising senior communications major from Belleville, Ill. doesn't feel "cheated" at all because he's getting the special attention of a First Tee Scholar and he occasionally gets to show what he can do against the "big boys." The pro golf tour is not the impossible dream, as recently he qualified for the U.S. Amateur Golf Championship to be played later this month, and, he took down a few Division I golfers in the process.

"Summer-time is when I really get to test my skills against those D-I guys ... and this time I beat some players from Northwestern and Illinois when I qualified," said Heavens, who is proud of accomplishing the third of his TFT (The First Tee) goals for 2010.

"In the qualifier, I was able to have fun in the moment," he said. "But (winning) is in the preparation, going back to the start of the year when I write down my goals like The First Tee taught me."

His goals were:
1. win the Mid-South Conference tournament and Player of the Year honors - CHECK;
2. practice his swing every winter day possible with Larry Ward of Lexington's Man-o-War Golf - CHECK;
3. qualify for the U.S. Amateur Championship - CHECK.

President Crouch is so proud of Heavens, he has arranged to be his caddy for the first two (guaranteed) stroke-play days of the Amateur in Tacoma, Wash.

"I may be a little nervous at first ... especially having to control my emotions in front of the president," Heavens said. "But, Dr. Crouch knows his golf, and he's worked with two sports psychologists - he'll help keep me in the zone."

Below is a link to an article that appeared in the Belleville News-Democrat, Heavens' hometown newspaper in Illinois:

Heavens wins MSC Championship (4/27/10)

In a few hours all the hard work and end result, winning the Mid-South Conference championship, will sink in, but for now Georgetown College’s Christian Heavens is just worn out.

“I’m tired,” the junior said after three rounds of golf in two days at the Mid-South Conference Championship. “It will hit me in a little while, but right now I’m just tired.”

Heavens has had his mind set on playing in the NAIA National Golf Tournament since the season began and Tuesday he achieved his goal.

He shot a 210 (71, 69, 70) through all the weather and conditions at Cherry Blossom Golf Course in Georgetown, beating his closest opponent by six strokes.

The NAIA tournament is set for May 18-21 in Silvis, Ill. Which is about an hour from Heavens home in Fairview Heights, Ill.

“It has been since 1963 to my recollection,” GC coach Flash Williams said of the last time a Tiger went to the national golf tournament. “He was on a mission.”

That mission included 6 a.m. workouts and a focus to peak at the end of the season. Something that was evident as he closed the gap with some of the top players Williams said in the final regular season golf match two weeks ago.

Part of the desire for Heavens is he wants to test his skills with the players at the national level. He played in the National Minority Tournament this past year, and will do so again in the coming weeks, but wanted a shot at the NAIA National Tournament.

“This is exciting,” Heavens said. “The tournament is around my birthday too, so it would be a birthday present to me to go and play well.”

Williams is not surprised by the junior’s success.“He has worked on his game – putting, chipping, and all the things he needed to be medalist at the conference tournament,” the veteran coach said. “And with his work ethic, I wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t win (the national tournament).”
