NEWS AND NOTES

* Top-ranked Brian Harman was awarded a sponsor exemption March 1 to play in the 36th MCI Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links.

''I'm going to try to treat this like any other event, and try to keep my nerves down,'' Harman told The Island Packet. ''But I'm sure on the first hole I'll be shaking.''

Harman shot 6-under-par 65 March 1 during the media day, which was his lowest round at Harbour Town. The 2002-03 Golfweek Junior of the Year had seven birdies and one bogey. The MCI Heritage will be Harman's first PGA Tour event. The 17-year-old also will play in the Buick Championship later this year via his 2003 AJGA Player of the Year honor.

* The future of one of Australia's most talented young female golfers is under a cloud after Women's Golf Australia and the country's state women's golf associations changed the rules over representation. Mi Sun Cho has been denied the opportunity to play for Australia or her respective state association, Victoria, from Jan. 1 because she has not renounced her Korean citizenship.

The 16-year-old was the youngest golfer to play for Victoria at 12. She represented Australia in the Commonwealth and Tasman Cup teams for the past two years. Cho plans to return to Korea where her family still resides, but is expected to stay in Australia for at least the next year.

Many believe she will turn professional in the next two years. She still plans to enter the Victorian Amateur Championship in July and Australian Women's Amateur later this year. Cho, who moved to Melbourne four years ago to further her golf, recently won the Australian Junior Championship in Perth and Women's Stroke Play Championship.

She also competed in the Australian Women's Open at Concord Golf Club in Sydney playing alongside Karrie Webb.

Shot shots: The Florida Junior Tour (FJT) kicks off March 13-14 at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando. Top FJT competitors will receive exemptions and performance points for AJGA events. The FJT is the only Florida tour to participate in the AJGA's Performance Based Entry process. For their full schedule, visit www.floridajuniortour.org. . . . Hamilton Coffey made an albatross March 7 at the FCWT St. Petersburg Junior Golf Challenge. Coffey, who shot an even-par 72 to finish T-9, carded a double-eagle 2 on the par-5 first hole. . . . .AJGA Easter qualifier applications are available. Each site will conduct two qualifiers, each with a maximum of 100 players. For more information, visit www.ajga.org. . . . The IJGT still has room for players wanting to play the University of New Mexico event. The winner of the boys' division will qualify for the Southwestern Amateur. For more information, visit www.ijgt.com. . . . The Canadian Junior Golf Association (CJGA) announced a partnership with Big Chief Beef Jerky, a Calgary, Alberta-based company who will serve as the official beef jerky sponsor of the CJGA for the next three years. Bobby Neufeld, of Tecumseh, Ontario, was granted an exemption into the Mizuno National Golf Championship and will have the opportunity to play a practice round with CJGA spokesperson Richard Zokol prior to the event.

PLAYER TO WATCH
Name: Henrietta Brockway
Age: 13
Golfweek/Titleist Ranking: N/R
Residence: England
The Skinny: Brockway is one of the top players in Europe. She is a member of Team Faldo, a squad that practices and trains beside six-time major champion Nick Faldo, and is the current English Girls Under 13 champion.

Brockway started playing golf at age 9 after watching the Masters with her father. She told him that she wanted to get some clubs and play.

In her first year, she reduced her handicap from a 45 to 18. The following year it came down to 5 and currently she is almost a scratch golfer. Her driving ambition is to become the world's No. 1 female and seems like she is doing quite well. Last year, she became the youngest player ever to play on the Ladies European Tour at 13 when she teed it up in the Ladies Open of Portugal.

''She is a promising young, gifted player and I am thrilled to pass on my experience to her and help prepare her for a golfing career,'' Faldo said.

RECRUITING CENTRAL
How do NCAA and NAIA rules differ on the number of allowable campus recruiting visits?

The NCAA allows a prospective student-athlete to accept a maximum of five institution-paid recruiting visits which applies even if the student is being recruited in more than one sport. The recruit may accept only one paid visit to a particular school, but there is no limit on the number of schools or campus visits if the student-athlete pays their way.

There are no limits to the number of visits a student-athlete may make to NAIA institutions, however, no part of the recruit's expenses may be paid by the institution unless such a practice is part the institution's general policy for recruiting any student with special talent.
