NFJG Georgia Peach Open at Laurel Island Links 12/17/17

So much golf! I am sure AA is ready for a break from Tournaments. We didn't expect the EH PGA Junior golf to be this late in the season, so she has had several back-to-back weekends with two tournaments.
From Facebook: We are so proud of AA - winner of the #NFJG Georgia Peach Open at Laurel Island Links - Elite Foundation (18 Holes, Red Tee). Winner, Winner Salmon Dinner is her reward! Congrats to her Eagle Harbor PGA Junior Team mates - Ryan H. placing second AND Emmet K. who tied for first place in the Boys 10 - 12 group!

PGA official, Kevin Glynn awarding the medals! First place! AA had three birdies but triple boggied the last hole. Overall, she is getting closer and closer to scoring in the high 70's. The older girls actually played from the same red tees.

Top three: AA, Ryan H. and Trevor (only four kids, all 5th graders except Ryan, he's in 4th grade). The groupings AA has played in since she was 8 years old have changed, and now she is nearing being one of the oldest Foundation players. Soon she will move up with the "older" girls, ages 13 - 18.

Winner! So happy for her!

Scoreboard:

AA wasn't happy about #18 hole; she and her Daddy Caddie discussed the last few holes and how she was playing well on the back nine so far. So he said, birdie, then par, then par the last hole. So she birdies the next hole (#16), then makes par (#17), then drives the ball right, landing under a palmetto bush! After a penalty stroke and three-putting, she ended with the triple bogey (#18). She is very close to shooting in the high 70's, her next goal to accomplish! On-line, web site scores:

A family we play with alot, her older sister (Tess Dietz) won today, tough competition and she has been close, got it done today with a 77! Also, happy for Emmet, tied for 1st place!

We have a few weeks with NO TOURNAMENTS!!! AA will practice of course, but now to have some fun! Tomorrow we will see the new Star Wars movie at the WGV IMAX - AA's second time!
From Jack's Newsletter, he mentioned that AA is the first player in all the age groups to win four tournaments! Special Recognition:

I personally hadn’t been to this course in over 20 years. I played it when it first opened up back in 1996 and I remember having a blast playing it. When I arrived at the golf course and took the tour, I then realized why I had such a good time at this Davis Love III designed golf course. Awesome golf course, great layout and the people were as friendly as you’ll ever meet. The club, recently purchased by now owner and operator Ron Tyre was a failing program, but with a little love Ron said he and his Head Professional Benny Alvarez are whipping it back into shape. The course is filled with picturesque views of marshy area’s and woods and a challenge for any and all players. The greens can be pretty torturous, but they were pretty friendly for us. I know I will return to this course to see the progress made and to play it. 
Another first would come from the outstanding play from one of our fine young female players in the Foundation Elite Division. Alyzabeth Morgan. Morgan would become the first four time champion of the 2017-2018 NFJG TOUR season. Morgan would lap the field by more than 10 strokes with an inspiring 84 to claim victory. Smiling Ryan Houck and Trevor Challice would tie at 94 with Houck winning the tie breaker for the Runner up position.
