Well, to make a very long story short, we were in St Louis watching Claire in the Hurricane Event when a rep from the Bubba Tournament called and offered Claire a last minute invite. A girl fell ill at the last minute and Claire was offered the spot! Claire knew she would be tired and not completely familiar with the course, but she wanted the opportunity and accepted the offer! We then drove back to Memphis late Sunday night (really Monday am) and woke back up and drove to Mirimich Course in Millington for her practice round. The course was set up brutally long and difficult, but she struggled the first 2 days of the tournament and the other girls were from all over the world and US, and she turned it around on day 3 Sadly, she only made it through hole 14 before the rains hit and they did not count anyone's score from day 3. Claire got last place out of 42 (that has never happened ever) but she learned so very much by even being there......

Claire's partners the first 2 days. Both named Katie and both amazing. Tall Katie is 19 and signed with the UofM tigers and starts in the fall!!
Kids from all over the world...we loved this chinese Jack Nichalaus umbrella we saw!
Most beautiful course in Memphis! Nature everywhere! So proud of Claire for hanging in there and not giving up in brutal conditions!
