NFJG Championship - Season End at Glen Kernan

From Jack's newsletter:
The season ending TOUR Championship didn’t end as planned, but we managed to get in one round to complete the event. Even though we only played one day the Tour Championship will count as a two day event on the Scoreboard Rankings and in regards to the exemptions provided us from the Florida Junior Tour and the American Junior Golf Association.
Round one was a heart breaker not to be able to play Marsh Landing Country Club. I know it’s one of
your favorites, mine too, but four inches of rain is not good for any golf course in the marsh areas. The Pro is looking at getting us out there earlier this year, so stay tuned.
Round two scheduled at Glen Kernan Country went off without a hitch. Speed of play was great and so was the golf. The golf course was a little wet, but otherwise it was in AWESOME condition. The range being one of the lowest areas on the course was pretty wet and unfortunately needed to remain closed, so all 66 players hit the links without striking a full shot.
In the Foundation Division, it was more of the same ole stuff, great play from the youngest division.
Chase Ricks also chasing his first victory on the NFJG TOUR would put his clubs in full throttle as the hard charger would birdie the opening hole along with the par-5 7th hole to capture his first victory on Tour.
Also looking for his first win was Ryan Houck. Houck would come up a few strokes short this time, but would claim the Silver Medal for his first medal of the season after winning a scorecard playoff against two time Champion Emmet Kuhlenkamp who would take the Bronze Award.
In the Girls Foundation, Alyzabeth Morgan would shoot a fine 50 while to take the Gold Medal and
McKelvey Dietz would shoot her lowest round of the season. Her 55 score would be 11 strokes better
than her precious season best of 66. She would bring home the Silver Medal.
Photos are a bit out of order. Melissa walked and found HUGE pinecones! AA did well enough to win, but with so little practice in the past few weeks, she was rusty.
