New Team Bonk member alert‼️
We’re thrilled to officially announce that Katherine “Kate” Hagen has been elevated from Bonk Academy to full Team Bonk status!
Out of Utah, Kate has been making serious noise in the 9-10 girls division and has quickly become one of the standout young talents in the Bonk family. Her combination of competitive fire, dedication to improvement, and pure love for the game makes her a perfect fit for Team Bonk.

• Followed that up by winning the 57th Junior World Qualifier 2026 (Girls 10 & Under) at Mountain Dell Golf Course — earning champion honors.

Kate has excelled in her daily practice (108 day practice streak currently) with her Dad, and with her amazing golf coach Rob Stanger, Director of Instruction at Hidden Valley Country Club, Sandy Utah. Kate is grateful for the opportunities that she receives for additional instruction and dedicated practice time at the range, on the course - or at home in her "putting studio".
