Our 11yo daughter just got invited to the STPGA Championship at the Woodlands (Palmer Course) 8/4-8/6. This is her first year playing STPGA and she's in the U12 division so really proud that she made it in. Nice to see her hard work paying off for her.

She finished top 20 points out of 102 young ladies, aged 11&12. Not too bad for her first season!

Her goal is to play collegiately here so I have my fingers crossed

Sounds like one proud dad! Best of luck over the next two days.

I'll say this…. Give me 10 tries and I probably don't land one in that bucket. In other news, I need to go work on my chipping.

Well we fell short of our goal of T10 but she is playing uphill and got an education on what it will take next time, if we make it back. Great event, great competition (these kids are good) and still the proudest daddy out there!

Good for her and you!

The target golf got us. We played great on all of the straight holes but the dog legs and #7 got us. Sometimes my hard head can't be talked off driver down to a 6 or 7 iron. She hit it in the water on 7 both days trying to drive it and we were in the road on 6 one day and in the trees the other because she believed she could hit a hook around the corner.

Oh well you live and learn.

thank you.

Yes, it's a very tricky course and it beat us up badly last year (her first year). A lot changes in a year though for a kid playing golf. Growth spurts, a little more accuracy and length and everything becomes more manageable. If I've learned anything last year, it's patience in their development…it's a really hard game as we know (but sometimes forget when it's not me hitting the ball). Hope to see y'all at Horseshoe Bay in Dec for the Fall finale!

Hopefully we play better this time since we know what the level of competition is. She's always been long for her age and gender but she's killing it now. Higher and longer than most kids her age, if she could only chip lol

Yeah this course is a challenge for those like us who haven't seen it. We had a birdie and a couple pars but -3 is strong. Tomorrow will be survival of the fittest.
