Alisa & Jack had their first tournament on May 29th at Lone Tree Golf Course sponsored through U.S. Kids Golf. They did great; both came in first. Alisa shot a 39 and Jack shot a 40.
Alisa had a new caddie for the tournament, Greg Dunn. Greg is our neighbor's son and he did great. Alisa loved him. Greg is going to caddy for Alisa on her June 5th tournament at the Wigwam.
This week the kids played on the JGAA (Junior Golf Association of Arizona) two-day tournament at Cave Creek Golf Club. The JGAA is a little different than U.S. Kids; U.S. Kids is very similar to PGA Rules, where-as the JGAA doesn't allow caddies or laser sites. Even the PGA Tour allows caddies and laser sites. But, it is good experience for the kids.
The first day of the tournament Jack shot 2 under par. Sometimes he seems to do better without a caddie. On the other hand, Alisa has a tougher time without a caddie. The first day she shot a 50. But, she came back the 2nd day and shot a 44. Overall, at the end of the two-day tournament Jack came in 2nd place and Alisa came in 3rd place. They were just thrilled with their trophies.
The tournaments are just beginning; they have another tournament tomorrow (Friday, June 5th) with the U.S. Kids Golf at the Wigwam Golf Resort and then a 3-day tournament at Maryvale with the JGAA.
