NFJG Slammer and Squire

This will be AA's last golf tournament for the "season". Tournaments take a break from early August until the High School State Competition is over in early October. She came in next to last with an 86-85. This will be a welcome break for a young 13.5 year old who has been playing in tournaments since she was five years old. She needs this time to get used to her longer and heavier new clubs. 

Round 2 Tee times:

7:48 AM	1	Sarah Harpster, Madison Balaskiewicz
7:57 AM	1	Alyzabeth Morgan, Annabelle Mozingo
8:06 AM	1	Daisy Adams, Helena Rios, Ashlan Tresca
8:15 AM	1	Maddie Rathjen, Kayleigh Baker, Madelyn Campbell
8:24 AM	1	Alexandra Gazzoli, Ashley Huffman, Thanya Arasu

From Jack's Newsletter:

Our Girls had a nice battle this week as well.  One of our departing seniors Kayleigh Baker is going out in style in her last junior event. Besides carding scores of 77-75 she decided to make the film by dunking a “Perfect Shot” on the par-3 7th hole. Her pitching wedge from 118 yards took a couple of bounces on the green and rolled right into the bottom of the cup or Styrofoam. Not a bad way to end the junior career. This is now the fourth “Hole-in-One” on tour in last four weeks, Matthew Webb, Hannah Stevens, Helena Rios and now Kayleigh. Not to mention Alexander Lymus had one over the weekend and I witnessed one recently at Windy Harbor Golf Club. What? Whaaaat?  Don’t forget to sign up for the NFJG Foundation’s “HOLE IN ONE CLUB”.  You’ll be glad you did!  Just saying!

After round one Palm Coast’s Alexandra Gazzoli (72) took a two stroke lead over the Elite Tour Girls Player of the Year Ashley Huffman (74) and right behind the two leaders was St. Johns Thanya Arasu and fresh off the Rising Tour was St. Augustine’s Maddie Rathjen making her Elite Tour debut. Both players were three strokes back at 75.  All four players battled in out in round two, but it was three closing birdies by Gazolli that sealed the deal. Huffman earning the runner-up spot would post four bogeys on her closing nine to nip Rathjen (75) by just one stroke.

Our Boys 10-12 Division only had three players in the field this week as most headed to Pinehurst for the “Worlds”. Chase Ricks would be the man of the hour with some fine golf posting a two champion scores of 81-77 to lead the field in this division. Maxwell Morgan gave him a run posting scores of 83-79 to come up four short.
