AA played very well at the NFJG Hidden Hills - "Open at the Hills". She placed 2nd of all GIRLS (13 - 17 years old). Her score at Hidden Hills, 5745 yards was an 80. Two birdies!
Coach Bryan (EH) was there and watched her and Apryl. He noted that AA hit a 215 yard drive into the wind! He said she played fantastic!
From Director Jack's newsletter: Jack said during the awards, that if you can play well at Hidden Hills, you can play any course!
It’s always nice to return to a golf course were once some of the greatest golfers on earth played and walked the fairways. Did you know “Hidden Hills Country Club” was home to “The GREATER Jacksonville Open”? The GJO was played from 1945 to 1976 were it later became known as THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIP. Tour Players like Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Raymond Floyd, Don January, Tony Jacklin, Hubert Green and Chi-Chi Rodriguez were all familiar faces here. The circuit of clubs the GJO was played on also included: Deerwood Country Club, Hyde Park Golf Club, and Selva Marina.
Only 40 junior tour players took the walk this year, but Hidden Hills known to one of the toughest golf courses in Jacksonville gave up some pretty respectable scores for some pretty respectable junior players. The course in great condition is filled with undulation and elevation changes rarely seen in Jacksonville. The course is fun to play and if you can play well here, you can play well anywhere.
St. John’s Tori Mouton would lead the entire field with the low round of three over par 75. Mouton would capture two birdies on her closing nine to take the Gold Medal in the Girls Division. This week the Elite Tour Girls and Rising Tour Girls were combined and right behind Mouton would be one of the NFJG TOUR’s superstars Alyzabeth Morgan who would claim the Silver Medal with a fine score of 80. St. Augustine’s Kenzie Heba would be the Bronze Medal winner with a fine score of 89 nipping St. Johns Mackenzie McCormack by a lone stroke.
