Eagle Harbor NFJG 2nd Place Rising Girls! March 10, 2019

AA played a decent round of golf, considering it is her "home" course, she hit a few too many double bogeys and her putting just didn't get hot! Oh well....... She was paired with a 15 and 16 year old girls, Hannah and Taylar. The winner is in 8th grade and Sophia is 15 years old (3rd place). AA did have a nice chip in for a birdie!
All good as the weather was perfect and Coach Bryan went around trying to catch up with the 14 kids he either teaches or coaches! Wow, we have a great Screaming Eagle Harbor presence.

Scores:
Waiting for all the 10 - 12 year old boys scores to come in. AA goofing with Bryan's son, Ryan and Tyler M.
As a note, during AA's practice round on Friday, Hole #4, she scored an eagle (driver and three-wood)!
Afterward the Harbor Challenge tournament, we went to dinner with the Mawhinney's, talked of golf and future tournaments! Hope Ford and AA decide to go to a couple of ones they enter.
Director Jack's Newsletter:
Our Rising Girls had a great field of 12 this week and Madison Balaskiewicz was back in the winner’s circle once again. Balakiewicz playing well would shoot 40-40, total 80 to grab the Gold Medal by three strokes over Alyzabeth Morgan (83). Fleming Island’s Sofia Pecoraro would battle the Paige Sisters to take home the Bronze Medal.
The Boys 10-12 had nine players in the field this week which made for three great pairings. The top pairing featured three past champions in Luke Balaskiewicz, Ricky Ruth and Tyler Mawhinney.  Six of the players in the field were from the Golf Club of Eagle Harbor and students of PGA Professional Bryan Kipnis. This week Jacksonville’s Luke Balaskiewicz said “not today Fleming Boy’s it’s my turn”. Balaskiewicz playing steady all day would only have one birdie on the in his round, but would prove a point in his mastery around the greens that course management matters in the end. Runner up Tyler Mawhinney, would have three birdies during his round, but would come up one stroke short and would take the Silver Medal.
Welcome back Emmett Kuhlenkamp, it’s good to have you back on TOUR. You’ve been missed! Kuhlenkamp grabbed four birdies on the day and would be the Bronze Medal Winner. Long hitting Ricky Ruth this week would birdie two and EAGLE the par-5 12th hole, but a sloppy finish would put a dark cloud over his score to tie at 78 and lose in a scorecard playoff.
