Category: PURE Insurance Championship

In NC, High School Girls Golf is a Fall Sport. Last season, my freshman year, our team WON STATES. It was such a cool experience and what better way to start off my freshman year. This week we began matches for our girls golf season and we started with a WIN. My two teammates, Jacyln Kenzel and Mackenzie Battle, and myself tied for the low round with a 9 Hole score of 1 under par, 35 at Bayonet at Puppy Creek. Jacyln and I spend a lot of time together at The First Tee as we are both progressing through Eagle Level Programs. Go Patriots! 

All work and no play? No way! Duck Donuts opened this week. Just in time for my older brother, Joshua, to be home visiting from college at UNC Charlotte. So, we headed over and waited in a line that was out-the-door to try out the craze! The verdict around our table was met with mixed opinions but I enjoyed my first Duck Donuts experience. 17 Days to take off. 21 Days to tee off.

It’s hard to believe that September 1 has arrived! Round 1 of this year’s Pure Insurance Championship is a mere 22 days away. Mara will pack up and fly across country in the wee hours of the morning on Tuesday, September 19, arriving in California around 2:00pm there time. For now, she is back to school, beginning her Sophomore Year at Pinecrest High and getting the HS Golf Season kicked off with official team practices and qualifiers. But, with Pebble Beach quickly approaching, Mara is investing time in preparing her golf game for the unknown elements of wind, rain and much coolers temperatures. Thanks to Ryan Shpak at Pinehurst Resort & CC, Mara was able to fine tune her Driver this week, working to swap out shafts and giving her a lower ball flight that will be beneficial in the Pebble Beach elements.
