Candie Kung makes a visit with junior golfers

Candie Kung earned almost $300,000 with one top ten finish on the LPGA Tour this season.

While players battle it out at the LPGA Tour's Q-School final stage this week, Kung was able to relax a bit by dropping in on the Missing Link Golf Academy students at the Legacy Golf Club.

The daily fee course in Lakewood Ranch is the home venue for the academy that John Hulbert started.

Hulbert said his brother Mike, a PGA Tour veteran and current Champions Tour member, and other pros like Kung routinely stop by to impart their wisdom on the junior golfers, with Mike Hulbert making a visit at least once a month.
