AA's PGA JR All Star team played a solid match against Tampa in the morning and scored five (-5) under for the win! Screaming Eagles moving on to the Championship round in the afternoon! So proud of these talented junior golfers on her team.
The afternoon was played out the same, -5 under but the stronger Marriott Golf Academy earned the win (-7 under). By flags, it was 10 to 2 (EH).
It was nice having Penny Reynen attend and support the team, she volunteers for many junior golfing programs. (I stayed home with the dog and cleaning out the garage).
From Coach Bryan Monday Morning: Good Morning Everyone!
Our Screaming Eagles All Star Team competed this past weekend at the North Florida PGA Junior League Section Championship held at Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando. The team came out of the morning semi-final matches defeating the Tampa All Star team 7.5-4.5 to advance to the Championship Match against Marriot Golf Academy. While the Championship Match ended in a loss for us at 10-2, the score doesn't exactly reflect how close it really was! Our players played some spectacular golf this weekend, but in the end we just fell a few putts short. A common question I get at practice is "Why do we putt so much? Can we go hit balls now?" There are many elements to this game, but it almost always comes down to putting.
These players work very hard to maintain these skills and I'm so proud of their efforts. It's seasons like this that continue to make PGA Junior League the highlight of my job! I hope to see everyone out for our Winter Shootouts starting in November. Have a great winter and we will see you in February for early Spring registration!
