Golf Sectional

Sectional was moved to a different course this year where the girls have had very little experience.  It was a hot, September day with a rough start! Braylee was struggling on her first 9 holes. We were convinced her chance of making it out of Sectional again was gone... but she battled back and shot really well on the back 9 to tie for the 3rd individual spot! (The top 3 teams advance to Regional as well as the top 3 individuals from the remaining teams.)  The tie put her in a playoff.  Running out of daylight, they teed off on #1 and both parred.  On to hole #2.  They were both on the green... Braylee with a birdie putt and her opponent for a par putt. Even knowing she was ahead, I was barely breathing & so excited when that birdie putt went in the hole! And people say golf is boring! 😄 ⛳️ Her teammate Liv advanced as well! Brynna shot her personal best, beating Braylee's freshman score by quite a bit! She said she almost cried after she finished because she knew she had done her part to help the team. 💗 We also got to see Brynna's first birdie [in competition] on #15.  Such a fun day watching our girls!  The team *just* missed advancing as a team by 2 strokes. 

I had a little princess picnic with these cuties before leaving for the Sectional. It felt a little sentimental because it feels like yesterday that I was doing these things with Braylee & Brynna.

Maddy B! She's been one of Braylee's closest friends since they were toddlers. Braylee was so happy she joined golf this year!

Besties- Brynna & Liv

Braylee's teammates watching her on hole #1 in the play off.

Play off hole #2 with the sun setting.

So proud of her for persevering! She played strong under pressure!

4th Place (out of 11).  Not bad considering it was the school's 1st ever Girls Golf team!  Alex checked all of the scores- Liv, Braylee, and Brynna ended up finishing 3rd, 5th, and 8th out of the non-seniors so we have high hopes for them & their team next year!!

Pappy sure loves watching these girls too!

She made the news!
