Darren Beck Wins The 2008 Callaway Hi-Lite Pro-Am
New South Wales professional Darren Beck has blown a top quality field out of the water at the 2008 Callaway Hi-Lite Pro-Am and after rounds of 65 at Royal Pines and 69 at Robina Woods is also crowned the 2008 QLD PGA Champion.
The $100,000 Callaway Hi-lite Pro-Am is the richest two day pro-am in Australia.
Beck, who has now won this event two out of the past three years, mentioned that the $18,000 prizemoney won has come at a great time.
"I am off to India tomorrow and it looks like I will play the next few weeks on the Asian Tour so to have a large amount going into the bank account will definitely take the pressure off over the coming weeks."
When asked about winning the QLD PGA Championship, Beck was thrilled to be in fine company.
"When I was having some photos taken with the trophy I had a look at the names on it and was amazed as to who had actually won the title. If my career ends up being half as successful as theirs I will be a very happy man" said Beck.

Education Committee Approves Jennifer Beck Bill
The Senate Education Committee has approved legislation sponsored by Senator Jennifer Beck that would prevent school employees from receiving tuition assistance or salary increases for degrees earned at so-called “diploma mills.” The legislation, S-2127, was introduced in response to revelations that school administrators in Freehold had received both tuition assistance and pay raises after completing doctoral programs at Breyer State University, an unaccredited online school that provides advanced degrees in exchange for little more than the tuition that is paid.
“The public should not pay teachers or administrators for receiving degrees that aren’t worth the paper they are printed on,” said Beck. “We can protect property taxpayers by going on the offensive and cracking down on the use of fake degrees that do little more than pad resumes and serve as justification for higher salaries.”
