NVC’s Libby Webb ‘has a passion for the game of golf’
AMERICAN CANYON – Libby Webb spent several months preparing and getting ready for her sophomore season on the Napa Valley College women’s golf team.
It all began for Webb during the team’s spring program when she worked with David Knox, the Storm’s assistant coach and a PGA Class A golf professional who is the Director of Instruction at Napa Golf Course at Kennedy Park.
“He was super helpful. We worked a lot more on mechanics,” said Webb. “He helped me with swing mechanics, putting and chipping. All of that really helped. He focused on a lot of wedge shots, like 40 to 80 yards, which is really important. You can be in that situation all the time. So, getting better at those shots, for sure, has an impact on my game.”
