NFJG North Hampton Tournament 02/11/2018

Wow, eighteen (18) kids entered in the Foundation Elite! (age range of boys and girls 8 - 14). AA did EXCELLENT! Her best score in an 18 hole tournament. And NO double bogeys! This is a hard course,North Hampton, her coach texted saying that she did very well! As AA improves, we have already planned to move her into the all girls group soon (13 - 15 years) at least by start of 2018-2019 season this October. She said she is ready! Receiving her second place award:

Ryan had a good round too, one stroke ahead of AA. Considering the ages of this group, the youngest prevailed - and two from Eagle Harbor!

AA's on-line scorecard:

From Jack's NFJG Newsletter: This week 72 player’s tee’d it up on one of the toughest and most demanding golf courses we play. The course itself is one of the best tests of golf around. Play this course well and I will guarantee you that you are a serious competitor in the game of golf. The course was in wonderful condition with greens on the slow side, but as I tell everyone this is an element of the game and you have to adjust, adapt and overcome if you want to win. All good players will. It’s no different than wind, rain, wet conditions, hot or cold. It’s a condition you must adapt to. The sooner one learns this the better you will be.

The fast growing Foundation Elite Division would have the largest field of the day with 21 registered players. Fleming Islands Ryan Houck would birdie three holes on the day to post a winning score of 78. All year he would be in the fight for the Gold and finally, on one of the toughest courses and amongst the largest field his goal of Gold is achieved. Houck would nip five times a champion Alyzabeth Morgan by just one lone shot. Morgan from Orange Park would proudly wear the Silver for her outstanding play. Miles Russell from Jacksonville Beach would take home Bronze for his efforts for his first event on the NFJG TOUR.

Waiting for them at home was this: I made a new recipe: homemade risotto with paprika shrimp. It was a success - thumbs up by all!

We are all tired, so off to bed! Robotics begins again for AA (Monday), WPOA Board meeting (Tuesday), Valentine's Day (Wednesday), my hair cut is Thursday and then we have a quiet weekend - will do something for Chinese New Year, as we missed the FCFCC CNY event today.
