QUOTES:

I’m happy that I am beginning to be able to shoot lower and lower scores and have good rounds and that the Lord above has been watching over me.”

“I think the coaches that help us in the golf clinics are nice.”

I think the other kids in the BGF JD advanced group are really good and it’s a real challenge playing against them and it makes me feel like I need to try as hard as I can.”

“!t was kind of cool the other day when a coach used me as an example to the younger kids on how to putt”
