AA earned three awards. She won the Rising Girls Fall Season, the Player of the Year for Rising Girls (13 - 18) and she also won the Harry Vardon Award for lowest average score. Amazing! She didn't play many tournaments during the Spring and Summer, choosing to work on shorter distances. The banquet was very special as usual, Jack does an amazing job, with his speeches and awards and door prizes. The food buffet is well organized and great food, geared more for youth tastes but still delicious. We invited Penny and Bryan, both attending the golfing before and the banquet. They are so appreciated!
Group photo below is Jack giving directions about the seven holes they were allowed to play at the Champions course. I arrived after work and was able to see her play the 16th and 17th (went in the water! - she was the very last person allowed to play, it was the 6:00 p.m. stopping point and she hurried as everyone was walking away and said her grip slipped, was rushed. Hopefully she will have many more chances to play here!)
Started on 18th Hole (Shotgun start); went to the 10th, 13th - 17th.
She made par on the 18th Hole which is long, she was the only girl in her group to make par - Good job!
17th Hole:
Love seeing the course with NO ONE on it - unlike the TPC PGA Event!! Many trophies for most birdies, WEB.com Tour Winners (last time, now named the Korn Ferry Tour) and the Jack Nicklaus Award (she has won in past).
