US Kids Golf - Georgia State 2015 Championship June 11/12

We traveled to the Georgia State Championship, at Orchard Hill, Newnan, run by the U.S. Kids Golf staff, this was our first. AA has played in the Florida State but felt she needed more tournaments during the summer to keep competitive. With no Jacksonville Summer Tour, she needs to keep playing either with other US Kids groups or the NFJG, etc. 
Wednesday - The practice round on The Rock Garden went very well with Caddie Maria. Of course, allowing AA to drive the golf cart is a sure way to keep her motivated!

The greens were fast and not flat, lots of hills with uphill approaches. Thank goodness the two water holes were not a big threat to AA.

AA is applying the break while Caddie Maria is already out and heading to the clubs!

Thursday - Day one of the tournament, paired with Gracie Grant (FL) and Zoe Duval (GA). We played with Zoe at Jekyll Island. Hole #1:

Ninth Hole: Shaking hands; AA had her best round to date as an 8 year old - a score of 38 (two over).

Scoring table where we find out that she was tied; two tied in first place with 35's; and AA tied with another with the 38:
