Sunday - Heading to Hole 1:
Hole 1:
AA played decent, was great at putting, made many long putts. However, a few holes were off, like Hole 5 (they were up two matches early, after this hole, even) - AA's drive in bunker, AA hit Kalia’s drive that was in fairway, hit into a tree. Kalia hit the ball in the bunker, AA got it out next to hole, one putt for 5. Other team, scored a 4. Even after 5 holes.
Celebration! NFJG Wins!

Coach Bryan Kipnis posted this on his new Back Tee Academy Facebook page:
Back Tee Golf Academy is at World Golf Village. No better way to kick off our Facebook activity than congratulating our 2 Academy members, Kalia Polete and Alyzabeth Morgan. Two days at the World Golf Village Slammer & Squire and King & Bear for the  3rd Annual “Florida Coast Ryder Cup”. North Florida  topped South Florida 39-16 to take a 2-1 lead.
Director Jack's RecapThis past weekend, the third meeting would be battled out with many of the same players from the previous two meetings, just all improved. Both teams knew it would be a tough battle and indeed it was. During this trip, both the Slammer and Squire and the King and the Bear would be played for the 36-hole completion.
Round one on the Slammer, would prove to have the toughest battles. The opening nine holes of play would be 2-person team scramble match play. One point for a win and one-half point for a tie. With 11 matches in all nine matches would go to the last hole in the 9-hole competition. Seven would be in favor of the north and four for the south.
Fourball would be the format for the closing 9-holes and once again most every match would go to the 17th or 18th hole. The north would capture eight more points to take a commanding 15-7 lead going into the final two competitions of foursomes and singles.
In foursomes nine points would be captured by the north to take a resounding and commanding lead of 24-9. What remained was 22 points in the singles matches. Could the south make a push? Yes, they certainly could have with their talented team, but not this time as the north took advantage of the home field advantage recapturing the cup with a 39-16 victory.
