Ford and AA left the house early, at 6:20 a.m. for the Amelia National golf course near Fernandina Beach.
She played well for the first nine holes (the back nine, she started on Hole 10) until at the turn, Holes 1 and 2 were double bogeys. She recovered with a nice birdie and scored an 80 (8+ over) for third place, which was second place score as the top two were a tie at 6+ over. And her last hole, her putt lipped out of the cup. So if she had three of those strokes back, she would have placed first. Isn't that golf!!

AA stated that she played average. It was good for the 5980 yards, very long for her and much longer than High School Girls Golf (they play from the red tees, about 5200 yards).
She will miss this Saturday's NFJG Tournament as she has another 8th Grade State test to take!
Jack's Newsletter: On Sunday May 16th, the North Florida Junior Golf Tour traveled up to Fernandina Beach to play “The National” which was held at Amelia National Golf and Country Club. The golf course proved to play long and hard for our juniors and the best of the best rose to the top to claim podium spots at this event in the second event of the summer series.
The Elite Tour Girls Division provided a close battle at the top of the leaderboard. In the first group of the day, Ashley Huffman and Madelyn Campbell would fly around the golf course and both fire rounds of 78. No one would come in with a lower score in this division so the two went out on the golf course for a playoff. Campbell would go on to win the playoff to claim the gold and Huffman would take the silver. Finishing in third was Alyzabeth Morgan who fired a round of 80. Written by: Charles Collings
