Thanks for all of the support over the last few months! I do have some tournament results to report.<br />
<br /><br />
At the PGA Professional National Championship in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina at the Dunes and Grand Dunes Resort during the week of June 22nd (this was my first event back since January of 2014) I had rounds of 76-71-73-74 to finish in a tie for 22nd place and miss the PGA Championship by a single shot. That was a close one but not a bad attempt for my first tournament back in 6 months. Here is a link to the results: <a href="http://www.pga.com/nationalchampionship/scoring/leaderboard">http://www.pga.com/nationalchampionship/scoring/leaderboard</a><br />
<br /><br />
I then played in the Westchester Open at Metropolis Country Club in White Plains, New York and shot rounds of 73-69-68 to finish in a tie for 3rd place. Its definitely starting to trend in the right direction! Here is a link to the results: <a href="http://wcga.bluegolf.com/bluegolf/wcga14/event/wcga147/contest/1/leaderboard.htm">http://wcga.bluegolf.com/bluegolf/wcga14/event/wcga147/contest/1/leaderboard.htm</a><br />
<br /><br />
My next stop was the PGA Metropolitan Professional Championship at Brae Burn Country Club in Purchase, New York and Fairview Country Club in Greenwich, Connecticut. The top 10 players qualify for the 2015 PGA Professional National Championship at the Philadelphia Cricket Club. I shot rounds of 73-69-70 to finish in a tie for 5th place and qualify for nest years Championship! Here is the link to the results: <a href="http://metpga.bluegolf.com/bluegolf/metpga14/event/metpga1438/contest/16/leaderboard.htm">http://metpga.bluegolf.com/bluegolf/metpga14/event/metpga1438/contest/16/leaderboard.htm</a><br />
<br /><br />
And finally, I just finished 3 rounds at Bethpage Black in the New York State Open in Farmingdale, New York. I shot rounds of 69-71-70 to finish in solo 3rd place. It was a solid 3 rounds of golf on this Major Championship venue. Here is a link to the results: <a href="http://metpga.bluegolf.com/bluegolf/metpga14/event/metpga1439/contest/1/leaderboard.htm">http://metpga.bluegolf.com/bluegolf/metpga14/event/metpga1439/contest/1/leaderboard.htm</a><br />
<br /><br />
All in all, I am very pleased with my progress. I have a few weeks off from the tournament schedule except for a few outings and some pro-members but I am back in action August 19-21 when I tee it up in the Metropolitan Open at the beautiful Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. You can follow that action at: <a href="http://www.mgagolf.org/">http://www.mgagolf.org/</a><br />

I would like to thank Carl Alexander for starting these series and our President Heath Wassem for hosing us today at Fenway.<br />
<br />
We have some really knowledgeable professionals presenting today including Michael Jacobs who will be speaking about his new Force Plate System and 3D video capture to enhance his teaching program. I am really excited to share my knowledge on websites and how to brand yourself as a PGA Professional using this tool. Kirk Oguri will be talking about the power of twitter, facebook and social media to brand yourself as a PGA Professional and create a ton of communication. Carl Alexander and Jeff Voorhees will be discussing how technology can be used to enhance your tournament presentations an how that technology can then be tied into your club communications. Last but not least Billy Condon of Golf Trip Genius will demonstrate this cool tool and how it will enhance you golf programs.<br />
<br />
I hope that all of the participants are ready to learn some new ideas and share some ideas of their own as well. I am one who learns new things about this stuff every day and totally enjoy every minute of it to make myself the best PGA Golf Professional that I can be.<br />
<br />
I look forward to seeing all of you at 10:00am at Fenway. Lets make this seminar fun and interactive! See you in a few hours!<br />
<br />
After the seminar, you can check out some of the photos at www.met.pga.com.<br />

You can get the full results at <a href="http://www.mgagolf.org/">www.mgagolf.org</a>. Ok now that that is done I had a few other tournaments since then with some nice results.<br />
<br />
The Metropolitan Section had its Championship at the Country Club of Fairfield. I shot rounds of 72-70-69 to finish in a tie for 5th place. What a great golf course in Fairfield, CT. You can get the full results at <a href="http://www.met.pga.com/">www.met.pga.com</a>.<br />
<br />
We also played the Farley Cup at the Atlantic Golf Club in Long Island. This tournament matches the top 12 Westchester golf professionals against the top 12 from Long Island. This is the 3rd time we have met in the past 3 years and this is the first time that Westchester has lost the match. I had a great match against Mark Brown from the Tam O'Shanter Club. I did get the better of him on this day however winning 3 points of a possible 3 points against him.<br />
<br />
Our last event of the season was the Treiber Memorial Tournament of Champions. It is a stableford event which points are given for your score. They are as follows: 0 points for par, 2 points for birdie, 5 points for eagle, -1 point for bogey and -3 points for double bogey or worse. I finished 5th with a total of 10 points for the three rounds. My rounds were 4 points, 10 points and -4 points. The last round was played in the steady wind and rain. Again you can find complete results at <a href="http://www.met.pga.com/">www.met.pga.com</a>. <br />
<br />
Next week I am off to California for the Mayacama Pro-Member with my partner Ned Zachar. After that the GlenArbor Golf Club will play a ryder cup format against the Mayacama Club. This is always a fun 2 events.<br />
One more thing, check out the MET PGA Notebook that aired on SNY. This is a cool TV show talking about things happening in the Metropolitan Section. Here is the link: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D08x4aN0aE4&feature=share&list=UUvTv-UrD9rD67aQkKdutlgw">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D08x4aN0aE4&feature=share&list=UUvTv-UrD9rD67aQkKdutlgw</a>.<br />
<br />

The Met Open and the Barclays which starts today! It just shows how many great events are played up in this area due to the awesome golf courses. I have won the New York State Open at Bethpage Black two times, so I am interested to see how the PGA Tour boys do there this week.<br />
<br />
Not to keep harping on the weather here, but it is just perfect! It should be another great scoring day. I shot a round of 70 yesterday and am currently at 7 under par for the event 3 shots back in 3rd place.<br />

The golf business just gets a bit crazy sometimes. I have a few things to report. So here we go.....<br />
<br />
2012 Professional National Championship - Was a mess! I shot rounds of 79-77 and basically played as poorly as I could! That just happens in this game! Bad timimg on my part since this is such a great event. I now had to qualify for next years event. Go to <a href="http://www.pga.com/">www.pga.com</a> for the complete results.<br />
<br />
Westchester Open - Shot a round of 76 to miss the cut for the first time ever in that event. It was a weird feeling not to be playing in the final 2 rounds. Didnt play that bad, just didn't make as many birdies as I needed to. Go to <a href="http://www.westchestergolf.org/">www.westchestergolf.org</a> for the complete results.<br />
<br />
New York State Open - I just love Bethpage Black! As a two-time winner of the event and defending champion my confidence was high going into the event even with my scores as high as they were. I was feeling comfortable with my game and know that it can change in an instant! I shot rounds of 72-73-70 to tie for 4th. I played the last round with Danny Balin who shot a beautiful 66 and eventually won the tourney. Go to <a href="http://www.met.pga.com/">www.met.pga.com</a> for the complete results.<br />
<br />
Metropolitan Professional Championship - Truned it around with rounds of 65-69 to win this event by 2 shots over Carl Alexander and John Guyton. It was a solid birdie, birdie, birdie finish as well! This also qualified me for the Professional National Championship in Oregon next June. As all of you know this is the route to the 2013 PGA Championship. Here is a link to the Journal News article <a href="http://www.http//golf.lohudblogs.com/2012/07/25/with-plenty-on-his-mind-rob-labritz-wins-met-professional-championship/">www.http://golf.lohudblogs.com/2012/07/25/with-plenty-on-his-mind-rob-labritz-wins-met-professional-championship/</a> .

<br />

You can see the results from Canoe Brook at <a href="http://www.mgagolf.org/">www.mgagolf.org</a>.<br />
<br />

My two day total was three under par 137 at Waccabuc Country Club in Waccabuc, NY. Cory Muller had the lead in the event until a triple bogey 7 on the 16th hole where I was able to make birdie for a four-shot swing. I would like to thank Polo for their sponsorship, the MET PGA for running such great events, Waccabuc Country Club for hosting, Titleist for their supreme equipment and my caddy Todd for a great job on the links. Also to GlenArbor Golf Club, my home away from home. And as always my finace Kerry and son Matthias for all of their love and support! You can see the complete results at www.met.pga.com.<br />
<br />
Next up is the sectional US Open qualifying at Canoe Brook Country Club in Summit, New Jersey on Monday June 4th. There are approximately 80 guys for 4 spots to play the US Open at the Olympic Club in June. We will all play 36 holes in one day for the right to earn the birth in the Open.<br />
<br />
I will play a practice round today at Canoe Brook. You can follow the US Open qualifying at www.mgagolf.org. Until then..........fairways and greens!<br />

The course is a hidden gem in Waccabuc, NY. Met Section legend Darrell Kestner is tied with me at 67. Local US Open qualifier Cory Muller and Carl Alexander are tied for 3rd at 68.<br />
<br />

The Country Club of Darien was in phenomenal shape and played really tough! Only Frank Bensel broke par at 1 under 70. I shot even par 70 with a birdie on the last hole in the driving rain. What a relief! One hundred golfers teed off and 6 qualified for the sectional tournament which leads to a trip to the Olympic Club in June to play in the US Open Championship!<br />
<br />
The next stage for me is at Canoe Brook Country Club in New Jersey on June 4th. This round is also 36 holes instead of 18. I am hoping to qualify for my first United States Open Golf Championship. I have missed by a shot a few times for a few close calls but never made it to the event. I sure want 2012 to be different.<br />
<br />
Next up is the Metropolitan PGA Head Professional Championship at Waccabuc Counry Club in Waccabuc, NY on May 29th and 30th. Congrats to all the other qualifiers today. You can see the results at www.csgalinks.org. Until next time.....fairways and greens!<br />

I won my second match in the round of 32 and was defeated in the round of 16 by Jim Wahl, the Head Professional at Whiprowill 1 up. I think he definitely had some local knowledge.

It is absolutely PERFECT weather! Remember to take your allergy medicines, however, the pollen is here! <br />
<br />
Polo RLX has some great spring time gear thats really cool. Don't forget to stretch. When warming up, start out slowly if you haven't played all winter by chipping, pitching and making half swings for the first 30 mins. This is way better for your body.<br />
<br />
Look for the results of my tournament calendar starting up soon. Play well and talk soon.<br />

The wind was down a touch but still blowing. You needed to control the flight. The greens on the Ryder are a little softer from the ones on the Wannamaker which makes scoring a little easier.<br />
<br />
I shot 70 and climbed from 31st to 10th at 143. Seventy golfers made the cut which was at 151. Bob Sowards leads the event at 138. My tee time tomorrow is 12:15 on the Wannamaker. You can follow the action at www.pgatournaments.com. How about the finish at Torrey Pines last week?<br />
<br />
Til tomorrow......<br />

After a nice December rest, the 2012 tournament season has started. This is also the same week as the PGA Show in Orlando, FL. 174 PGA Professionals from around the country come to the PGA Golf Club in Port Saint Lucie, FL to get compete for the title of the PGA National Stroke Play Champion. Last year Frank Bensel claimed the title. It is played on both the Ryder and Wannamaker courses.<br />
<br />
I shot 73 on the Wannamaker course which puts me in a tie for 31st in the 174 player field. There are 4 tied for the lead at 68 with three days left including Mark Brown, Bob Sowards, Rod Perry and Sam Arnold.<br />
<br />
The wind was blowing up to 20 MPH and three greens were really firm on the Wannamaker making the course play very difficult. With three days left, it is really anybody's ball game. There will be a cut to the low 70 and ties after tomorrow. Check out the complete results at www.pgatournaments.com.<br />
<br />
Look for some blogs in the upcoming weeks with the latest tournament results an some cool things happening in 2012. I am totally looking forward to the 2012 season. And for all of my students, I will be back at GlenArbor this Friday. Until tomorrow......get out there and practice.<br />

The times are filling up quickly and I wanted to send a blog to make sure I reached all of you.<br />
<br />
Let me know if there are any Pro-ams that you would like to participate in and I will see if it fits into my winter schedule. I have people that are already excited to travel over the winter and compete in the warmer climates to get out of the cold. There are Pro-Ams in Mexico, Florida, California and Las Vegas that would be great to play in.<br />
<br />
I look forward to hearing from all of you soon and will keep you posted on my tournament results as well as pro-ams that we could compete in. Until then.......fairways and greens.<br />
