Jesse goes to Paper Wings Nationals....and Claire battles Greystone....


 

Well, Saturday was a whirlwind for Jesse.  He flew to Huntsville for the Red Bull Paper Wings Nationals and had an absolute blast.  He ranked 4th overal and was super bummed.  But we are glad it's over so he can worry about finals!!He met a bunch of new friends and even got an airplane lodged in the Saturn V.  So he was super excited about that one! They put him up in a nice suite and fed him well throughout....not much more a 21 year old could ask for!  He threw for 38 meters which was still amazing!



And so we traveled Friday to Dickson, TN for the brutal Greystone Course. Claire came into the tourney with confidence because the last time she played Greystone she did well and placed 2nd.  Well, Mother Nature decided to give Claire lots of challenges this time.  This was the hardest course conditions Claire has even played.  Rain, cold, wind, standing water...you name it.  So the frist day Claire dould not catch a break or make a putt.  Sunday, the conditions were even worse, but she cleaned up her game and shot an 82.  And that was with 2 penalties!  So, even though she did not place, she DID clean it up and prove that she could handle Greystone.....Lots coming up soon...including someone's 16th Birthday about to happen!!! Stay tuned!
