NFJG King and Bear 10/30/21

AA played in the two-day NFJG King and Bear Elite Girls Tournament. Very cold both days in the morning, was in the 60's by afternoon. AA said she played poorly during round 1 and was still the leader going into round 2 on Sunday. Most likely when she sunk a long putt on Hole 9, then birdied Hole 11, her confidence must have had a boost. She had a 34 (below par) for the back nine holes on Sunday, great round!

Happy to be home! Now for some homemade apple crisp with vanilla ice cream!

She's a winner - so happy she had a great round 2!

Director Jack's News/Recap:

The first day of the King and Bear Open brought a true test to our players.  Cooler temperatures, tough pin placements and gusting winds made it a difficult day for many of the juniors.

For the Overall Girls it is a tight race.  Leading the pack is Fleming Islands Alyzabeth Morgan (80).  Nipping at her heels, all tied shooting rounds of 82 are Danielle Dailey, Maddie Campbell, Georgia Blount and Alexa Fallis. 

Round two would start out with weather conditions like that of the opening round, but with the field flipped and the girls hitting the tee box first.

In the Elite Tour Girls none of the girls tied at the top after the first round would contend for the lead. Instead, it would be the proven champion from Fleming Island who would bust loose to fire a two over par 74 to claim victory. Yes, it was none other than Fleming Islands Alyzabeth Morgan climbing her way to the top of the leaderboard.  St. Augustine’s Sofia Rivera would also fight her way to the top by posting a three over par round of 75 to best her first-round score of 84 by nine strokes. Rivera would claim rights to the Runner-up award. Morgan would earn one AJGA PBE Star and one FJT Exemption for her fine play.

Week of 10/25/21

The week began with school, making homemade dinners (red beans and rice for Monday, Bruschetta for Tuesday), happy hour at River House and a dress shopping trip to JC Penney's. We finished Monday night with watching the Netflix movie "Found". Such a cool story but the grief and sadness that comes with the adoption story. We were all profoundly moved, AA internalized with sobs.

Tuesday was AA's golf team's district tournament (separate post). And Donna's bi-weekly day to clean our home, so nice having her, she is always a happy and nice soul (with family tragedy thrown in).

Wednesday: Dentist appointment. Ford and I enjoyed a delicious lunch at Iguana on Park Street. Tableside guacamole, fish taco (large and crispy) and Ford's Cubano sandwich. We were stuffed when we left. We will go again, plenty of outside seating and nice wine menu!

AA made it home from her dentist appointment to help the kids golf lesson (last 30 minutes). We ordered a Mellow Mushroom pizza for dinner.

Thursday: Worked at SJRCT and Ford made homemade shrimp alfredo (with peas) - YUM!
Friday: I made another batch of pumpkin bread. After school, AA and I delivered the donated pet food to the Safe Animal Shelter (Middleburg). 20+ bags, plus treats.

Unloading at the Safe Animal Shelter (three women assisted):

Ford got his COVID booster shot at Publix. Homemade dinner of meatloaf, mashed potatoes and green beans for dinner.

Saturday: AA decided not to go to the High School Homecoming, partly due to the two day golf tournament. She has several friends who are not going, one had a family birthday, another, Noah went to the FL-GA football game.

NFJG King and Bear - separate post on the two day NFJG tournament. Dinner was leftovers from Friday night.

Sunday: I stayed home, another cold day (about 50 degrees at the start of AA's tournament, up to 60 degrees), did laundry, unpacked some winter coats, made a white bean soup in the crock-pot, walked Ginger, played fetch with Ginger, baked homemade apple crisp (yum! enjoyed when they arrived home), shopped at Publix, took recyclables to the library drop-off dumpsters, etc. Ford and I enjoyed a bottle of champagne in the late afternoon. 

Nothing happening for Halloween, AA doesn't seem to enjoy going out, maybe next year we can all dress up or get a street party going.

My apple crisp, was very good!

3A Girls Golf Districts - FIHS 2nd Place - Going to Regionals!

AA played well today, being the low round winner. 
AA had an early tee time, so wet grass, a little cooler, then the sun came out and adjustments had to be made to slow down the greens.
These screen shots and photos tell the story, so many posts (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram). AA with Coach Neddy:

AA is low scorer!

FIHS Boys placed 4th:

Boys Team: The Golden Eagles boys' golf team failed to advance past a very tough and competitive region on Tuesday, shooting 308 and finishing 5 shots behind 3rd place finisher Nease. New district entry Ponte Vedra, ran away from the field shooting a collective 14-under par 274 to win out over Bartram Trail's 287. Junior Colton Swartz, the low man on the FIHS roster, shot an even par 72 to advance as an individual to next week's regional tournament at Cypress Head. Sophomore Jaylen Abbas shot 75 to end up in a tie with a Creekside player, which led to a sudden death playoff, won when Bryson Hughes birdied the 2nd playoff hole. Freshman Dylan Frein shot 78 with Seniors Charles Lonsdale and Michael Amendola each shooting 83.

The Winners! AA in 2nd Place.

From Jack's Newsletter:

In the Elite Girls Division Ponte Vedra’s Nancy Cox put all the girls on notice as she fired the low round of the day with a three under par “68”.  Four birdies, 13 pars and one lone bogey would make for a pleasant and satisfying round of golf. Fleming Island’s Alyzabeth Morgan would capture her first medal of the season posting a 2nd place score of 77. She would be followed by Bronze Medal Winner Sofia Riveria who posted a score of 79.
