UF Gators Prospect Golf Camp

AA is participating in the UF Golf Workshop again this year. It gains her access to the Golf Coaches and she is leaning towards going to school there.
Ford and AA drove over to Gainesville Friday evening, so were within 5 minutes of the golf course the next morning.
Only two photos Ford sent to me during the event:

The two girls she played with were sophomores, Tilley from Canada/Texas and Morgan (leftie) from South Florida. AA learned alot about the housing for athletes, how they formulate scholarships and that they can verbally commit at age 15.
Her Fleming HS graduate and UF Golf team golfing friend - Lauren Waidner stopped to chat with them (she worked the Camp):
Ford said Sky Sudbury was here, famous for being in the movie "The Short Game".
They were back home in time to visit with our Saturday "Happy Hour" River House friends.

Subject: 2019 FLORIDA GATORS PROSPECT GOLF CAMP  December 7th - Schedule & Notes

Hello Parents & Prospect Campers,

Trust this email finds you all in good health.
As we are only a few weeks away and most likely arranging travel plans wanted to share some useful information with all of you including a tentative camp schedule.
First, I have attached a schedule of events of the camp day. Few notes:

Parents, when you come to the golf course in the morning to check-in/drop off, there will be a golf event going on and parking will be very limited. Please plan accordingly.
Parents are welcome to join campus tour – Unfortunately, we will only have enough space to transport campers. If parents decide to join the tour, they must drive to campus. As it will be a Saturday, we believe there will be free parking available across the stadium (will confirm that ASAP). We will meet in front of the BIG GATOR in the corner of Gale Lemerand Drive & Stadium Road 😊
I have added a parking map that shows you the area http://parking.ufl.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/OfficalParkingNew-003.pdf
Available parking plus garage (on the map) is above the O’Connell Center and left of the football stadium.

Parents are welcome to join the Q&A/Coaches Panel at the course
Parents are welcome to join the practice facilities tour before lunch
Parents are not allowed to be at the practice facility during golf sessions with campers
Parents are welcome to watch 9 hole play.
Unfortunately, we won’t have enough push carts to provide each camper. If in need of a push cart for the 9 holes and have one available, please be sure to bring it with you. We have a limited amount that we would be able to provide first come first serve.
