Source: Erie Times-News, Pa.自存倉Sept. 22--Drew Deimel is back in school and has passed his first course.Deimel, the former Cathedral Prep and Gannon standout, who turned professional after playing in the 2012 EDGA Amateur, finished tied for 29th in the pre-qualifier for the Web.com Tour Qualifying School last week at Bear Lakes Country Club in West Palm Beach, Fla.Deimel had rounds of 74-70-77 for a 5-over-par total of 221, enabling him to advance to the four-round first stage set for Oct. 8-11 at Grassland Golf and Country Club in Lakeland, Fla.Those who qualify in Lakeland, one of 12 first stage sites, will move on to the second stage in November at one of six sites. The grueling six-stage finals Dec. 12-17 is at PGA West (TPC Stadium and Nicklaus TC) in La Quinta, Calif., where 50 players will secure their Web.com Tour cards for 2014.The PGA Tour no longer has a Q-School, and golfers have to finish among the top 25 on the Web.com Tour money list plus the top 25 in the Tour's Series finals to move upstairs.Deimel, 23, the only Gannon golfer who qualified for two NCAA Division II tournaments and who won the EDGA Amateur (2010) and Match Play (2012), is much more confident a year after missing the cut in a 2012 pre-qualifier."I spent some time in Florida on the mini-tours, where there are so many young golfers working for the same goal," Deimel said. "But competition with little money can only go so far, and there are so many other aspects in the game where you have to take different ways to improve."Deimel went to Dr. Bob Winters, one of the best golf psychologists in the country who has advised hundreds of players."Dr. Bob gave me a whole different mindset, which has helped me imm迷你倉nsely with my game and approach psychologically, which can be applied to all sports," Deimel said.Winters has advised golfers on the PGA and LPGA Tour, including Lee Westwood and Michelle Wie.One of his past clients was Erie's Tim Dunlavey, who starred at Cathedral Prep and the University of Virginia in the late 1980s and who played in the 1994 U.S. Open at Oakmont, making the cut.Deimel also sought to improve his short game."I flew to California to Dave Stockton's school for putting and the short game, and he also works with your mindset and a better mentality in your putting and short game that demands so much focus," he said. "I've got so much confidence now, and I think I'm two strokes better with my short game than I was a year ago. I'm just a much better golfer right now."Deimel is looking forward to the different road ahead."I've learned so much, but I still have to apply myself, and the competition gets tougher and tougher because there are so many great golfers," Deimel said.- Capotis eagles LV front 9 twice: Homer Capotis has had quite a good summer on the golf course.Capotis, who won the West Penn Senior Better Ball with his brother, Mike, in August, had two eagles on the front nine at Lake View Country Club on Sept. 10.Capotis holed out a wedge from 120 yards on the 391-yard par-4 No. 5 hole, then lasered a 170-yard 6-iron into the cup on the 364-yard par-4 No. 8 hole.He finished the front nine at 2-under 34.BOB JARZOMSKI can be reached at 870-1678 or by e-mail.
