School Golf

Monday Summer played in the golf tournament at her Middle School it is a real casual thing with parents helping keep score and walking and talking and helping the kids play their best. It is played at a little rural course that is not much more than a field with flat greens and rock hard dirt fairways no ruff so you can't lose your ball when you hit it. It just goes forever. Anyway we caught a beautiful day nice and cool no wind that is so unusual for this time of year in Texas most of the time the wind blows bad. And it has been but not that day. Now you have to understand most of these kid don't play golf they come out in the spring and think they are going to learn at school there are to many and to little time for that. We are a small school with a small budget and you have to know how to play to make the team. That is the reality of it so out of the 35or40 kids
5 girls and 5 boys are all that make it. I know it's not fair but it is just economics.
 Summer was pared with two other girls one was Carly a girl who also is on her AAU basketball team and the other was Bailey  both are really nice girls. But their are not golfers they didn't look like they had played very much. If any. Summer was a little nervous and shot a 51 for 9 holes and the other girls shot 62 not that bad being there experience level. And the best boy was 46 so she wasn't far off the pace. She was the best girl. So I was happy for her and glad to see all the hard work paying off a bit. She just needs to take her time and stay in the moment and give her self a chance. .
