IT FINALLY HAPPENED!

Cece had been flirting with a round in the 70's and she finally broke through.

Lady Patriot Invitation at Wescott Plantation held on October 2nd 2016.  She started on hole # 8 Oak Forrest course.  Ladies were playing the Par 3 holes from the white tee's.  She hit a 5 iron to 5' 9" and made her birdie putt.  Got her closest to pin contest winner as well.  She made bogie on 9.  Then went to Burn Kill course for the front 9.  She went 4 over with 1 birdie and 5 bogies.  I had a good feeling as she was doing a good job of getting her approach shots to middle or back fringe of the greens.  Then back to the front 9 where she had a lip out bogie on 1.  Then she parred until number 7 a par 5.  If she has a 7 or less she in under 80.  Her driver swing was tight but decent.  She clubs down on her second shot to avoid bunkers.  Has 147 to a tucked back right pin.  She hits it to 7'.  When she gets to the green she is practically hyperventilating she is so excited.  She exclaims 2 putt and she is in the 70's.  I laughed and said no way.  I had tracked scores and stats so I knew.  One of the ladies in the group had gone just over the back left so her shot to the pin would give Cece a decent read on what to expect from her putt.  When it was finally her turn she drained the putt to the center of the cup for a birdie and a 76!!!  Way to go I am so happy for your accomplishment!

FDHS Lady Patriots Girls Golf season has started.

Cece is back on the team again this year.  Been fighting the weather with pop up showers and thunder storms causing interruptions.

The first head to head match Cece is low medalist for a nine hole match versus Berkley HS.




This is from Woodside Plantation in Aiken SC.  Hole #7 she is preparing to read the green for her long putt.  September 14th 2016.



Here is an approach shot at Woodside.


Here is a putt for 80 on 18 at Windermere.  She misses unfortunately.  September 17th 2016.

I haven't updated the main page in a while.

Cece's has been playing a bunch of golf.

Did OK in quite a few tourneys and not so in some others.  She has been to the edge but hasn't broken through to the 70's.  She is so close.

HS golf season is back in and I have been helping coach the team.

Busy with work and need to be visiting family more.
