U.S. Kids Golf Palatka First Place!

U.S. Kids Golf Girls 12 -14. From my post from Facebook: Winner, Winner Salmon Dinner! First Place in the U.S. Kids Golf Local Tournament in Palatka (Girls 12 - 14). AA was the youngest at age 12. Thunderstorms/weather shortened the event, finished 16 holes. AA prevailed, playing better each hole. The almost 15 year old is very good and they were neck and neck throughout the tournament. Tied at the END. AA won the nine hole scorecard playoff. Good vibes for this girl today! Ms. Penny (she is a MAJOR Volunteer) watched AA's round and was there to help celebrate the WIN (AA standing on her toes to be taller than Ms. Penny - they are funny together!!)
***Note: The National Office of US Kids changed the tie breaker ruling to the first nine holes played so AA earned SECOND place in the scorecard playoff (bad weather so could not go back out on the course for a hole playoff). The web site has on it if play is suspended, the last nine holes but National said that was not the official rule. Ms. Rhonda seemed miffed that the web site was not correct, but Ford and AA took it all in stride. Nothing to do about it!

Scores for 16 holes:
AA and Sabree waiting to start Hole 5 (Lila Weaver withdrew, elbow issue, so Alexandra moved to join Sofia).
The weather was predicted to be stormy by noon. And it did happen! As soon as they called the game, and we were inside, it POURED! Scoring table - waiting to find out the results of the paper scorecard playoff.
Awards!
Sabree was very nice about taking second place. The Drum girl play on Bolles School team, not sure about Sebree.
