DSGA Juniors Deliver at the TJGT 54 Showcase and Beyond: Wins, Podiums, and Breakthroughs

It was a weekend to remember for the players at Dennis Sales Golf Academy. Between the TJGT 54 Showcase at Lantana Golf Club and another local junior event, two DSGA athletes posted career-best performances that reinforce one thing:

🏆 The system works.

Whether it's winning outright, breaking scoring barriers, or delivering in tournament debuts - Nate Richter, Emile Chile, and Troy Kelsey each showcased the power of personalized development and smart training.

🏆 Nate Richter – Champion at the TJGT 54 Showcase

Nate Richter continued his breakout summer by winning the TJGT 54 Showcase with rounds of 69-65-73 to finish at 9-under par—his first TJGT title. He is now 21 under par in his last 6 tournament rounds.

His second-round 65 was bogey-free and marked a personal scoring record.

Since joining DSGA’s Junior Elite Program, Nate has turned potential into results through:

  • Expert instruction targeting root causes

  • Strategic, high-volume reps with feedback loops in training with Dennis watching

  • Mental and course management training to perform under pressure

    He now heads into the TJGT Championship with major momentum and a blueprint for continued success.

This is my first time winning on the TJGT circuit. I also broke my tournament and personal best score with the bogey-free 65! I’m so thankful to everyone that’s helped me get to this point — including my parents and my awesome coach, @dennissalesgolf.

🥈 Emile Chile – T2 in Girls Division at the TJGT 54 Showcase

While Nate took home the boys’ title, DSGA’s Emile Chile was equally impressive, posting a T2 finish in the Girls Division.

Emile’s long-term development at DSGA has centered on:

  • Refining her swing for tournament consistency

  • Improving her short game structure and variability

  • Developing mental performance strategies for sustained focus

Her ability to show up in major events is no coincidence, Emile trains with intention and trusts the process. The result? Another top finish in a strong field and clear signs she’s ready to play D1 college golf in the spring.

🥇 Troy Kelsey – First Medalist Victory at Tangle Ridge Golf Club

In a separate junior event at Tangle Ridge Golf Club, Troy Kelsey earned his first career medalist win, also shooting his lowest tournament score to date.

Troy’s success is the result of targeted early development at DSGA that emphasizes:

  • Strong foundational movement patterns

  • Structured practice environments with clear intent

  • Training to simulate the demands of competition

For a player in his first year at academy, Troy has shown impressive composure and execution. A clear signal that his training is translating into on-course success.
