AA won the Girls 12 - 14 age group at Hyde Park. Hyde Park is a very old golf course, designed by Donald Ross, with those "turtle back" greens. AA and Ford said the greens were in bad shape, the ball never rolled straight, were so bumpy. Ford said one chip was perfect, landed on the green in the right spot, should have rolled forward, bit it hit something and bounced to the left. Not how the greens should be!
AA and Ford have been sick this past week, with a croupy cough and congestion, she couldn't breathe! AA plowed through the tournament, it was VERY HOT, hottest day so far this year. She was slow to gain any lead on the front nine holes (ahead by two). She did birdie Hole 9 which is when she settled in and got used to the playing conditions. After getting used to the fact that her putting was not going to be her usual "saving a stroke each hole" game, she gradually pulled ahead and won by eleven (11) strokes with two birdies on the back nine. Winner, Winner, Salmon dinner!
Ms. Penny was there checking in all the players and then headed to Eagle Harbor to watch her PGA Jr. Team (she coaches/volunteers).
