LEMEK PLAYER OF THE YEAR FOR THIRD STRAIGHT YEAR

Omaha, NE - The Nebraska Golf Association (NGA) is proud to select Danielle Lemek of Doniphan as its 2011 Girl's Amateur Golfer of the Year. It is the third straight year that Lemek has received the award.

This past season Lemek won both major NGA championships - the Nebraska Girl’s Match Play and the Nebraska Girls’ Amateur - for a third straight season. She also won a regional PGA Junior Series event at ArborLinks, qualified for a second consecutive U.S. Girls Junior Amateur Championship, won the Trusted Choice Big I State Tournament and led a select Nebraska squad to victory in the annual Four-State Team competition where she became the first three-time winner of the event's individual medalist recognition.

Most recently Lemek won a fourth consecutive Class C state high school championship where she smashed the all-class individual 18-hole scoring record with a final round 5-under par 67. She was also named captain again of the Nebraska Junior Golf Tour’s annual All-Star Team.

Lemek will receive her award October 28th at the Nebraska Golf Association's annual awards banquet. In addition, the NGA will recognize its player of the year, the boy’s amateur golfers of the year, the women’s amateur golfer of the year and each of the 2011 amateur golf champions.
