A literal Whirlwind of a week!


Well, the huge TGA Junior Am 54 hole 3 Day  was at Spring Creek Ranch in Collierville Reserve Tue-Thurs with practice rounds on Monday.  A storm from hell decided to come upon Memphis and mainly Bartlett Sunday night and we had no power for most for the week...and oh...it was in the high 90's!
We quickly decided to let Claire and Gretchen sleep at her parents house in East Memphis (who had power) during the tourney and let Lance watch over the house at night and sleep in the heat.  We finally have power back and have replenished most of our lost food.   It's been a week! THe Junior Am was 50 of the top TN girls and Claire battled it out and get 24th.  75-83-81.   Rouch rough rough course.   But she hung in there and had some putting issues, but she will correct that.  Proud of her...and she got to see all her TN golf friends in one place!!







The girls call themselves the "shorties" and are beasts of golfers.  Love this!

Finally done!  It was 99 when this pic was taken at 11:30 in the am.....

Claire and her sweet golf friend from College Grove, TN, Gaby.

This is one of the fancy "comfort stations" on the Spring Creek Course that has toilets, snacks, towels, chairs etc.... and huge tree just crashed it to pieces....

Cres were sawing trees from all the cart paths Monday am while all the 150 kids did their practice rounds.  Not one person was hurt in this strrm than God!

Lots coming up soon..Jesse is coming home for July 4th!!
