U S Kids Local Summer Tour

Boys 10

Sherrill Park GC

It was exciting to start the season at Sherrill Park - mainly because after 2 years of playing the same 1900 yard course set-ups,  Kyle moved up to 2500 yards as a 10 yr old.  Kyle wasted no time blasting his tee shot down the fairway then used a wedge to drop it on the green near the flag that was just behind a bunker.  It was a really gutsy shot. Unfortunately his birdie attempt didn't fly.  The greens had been pretty torn up during a fairly harsh by Texas standards)  and many of the golfers struggled putting.  While Kyle finished 1 over par - he had played a great round and his iron play was markedly improved after they adjusted the lie angles on his new TaylorMade Burner irons.  He was the only one in his group to score below 40.

It was great to catch up with Brock and his mom Brenda because we hadn't seen them since last summer.  And there were lots of new faces in all the divisions to join the many we've played with since 2005.

Hackberry Creek CC

We're all amazed at how many new faces are in our division.  The first three tournaments have had over 15 in Boys 10 alone.  Kyle had another solid round with an early morning tee time.  They were done before the day got too hot.

Woodbridge GC

When Kyle did a practice round at Woodbridge - another course in the metroplex that we'd never been to before - he met up with one of the Club's members who happened to know Ted Madden.  Ted is a reporter from WFAA - Channel 8 (ABC network).  After hearing his friend's description of Kyle's round, Ted asked if he could bring out his camera man and they showed up at the tournament to interview Kyle and Paul.  The clip ran that night and you can see it by clicking the link on the Home page.

Thorntree Country Club

Another new venue - this week the event was in DeSoto - just south of Dallas at the beautiful Thorntree Country Club.  Kyle was back in form to shoot a 1-over par 37.  Thorntree Country Club played host to the Byron Nelson qualifying tournament for 5 years, PGA Tour stage qualifying and sectional qualifying for the Texas State Open and is rated as one of the toughest courses in the Dallas/Forth Worth.  Rounding out the top 5 was Gregory Adcock, Jake O'gara, Chase Bailey and Cole Collins.  Even missing a tournament, Kyle remained at the top of the division with 96 points and Crosby held on to 2nd with 67 points.

TPC Craig Ranch

Another premium venue for our Local Tour.  Kevin brought the tour back to TPC Craig Ranch after a successful showing on the Winter tour.  Showing no signs of fatigue after a grueling 3 day - 54 hole event at The Tribute, Kyle returned to the top of the leaderboard with a 34.  Crosby, who had also competed all 3 days at the Tribute was able to secure 2nd place and he and Kyle remain 1 and 2 in the Boys 10 division.

Trophy Club - Hogan Course

TrophyClub7-2010.JPG

It's the last tournament we have before leaving for Pinehurst and the World Championship.   It's also the last regular event until the Tour Championship next month, which returns to Stonebriar.  Returning to the Hogan Course at Trophy Club, we learned that it is the only course golf-great Ben Hogan ever designed.   Quite an honor. 

Still the only one in his division to break 40, Kyle shot a 39 which secures his lead in the Boys 10 division with 156 points. Crosby was 3rd in the tournament, but he has more than enough points to stay in second place with 107 points.  Here's the top 5 going into the Tour Championship which is worth double points.  Players ranked 3rd thru 7th are separated by only 11 points, which promises to make the final event a tight race.

Kyle - 156
Crosby - 107
Kelvin - 65
Daniel - 60
Jake O - 57

Stonebriar CC

Kyle, Crosby, Jake, JC, & Pierceson

It had been a very hot summer and it seemed that Kyle and Crosby hadn't had a break since mid-July.  Just 9 days after returning from a week in Pinehurst, NC and just 2 days after the Belmar Junior Championship in Norman OK, they teed it up together for the USK Tour Championship.  Kyle shot a 1 under par 35 needing to sink an 8 foot putt to avoid a playoff after Crosby sank a 20 foot putt on the last hole.  Both boys were the only two in their division to break 40 and they finished 1 - 2 in the final point standings.

Kyle - Player of the Year - 216
Crosby - 107
Jake O'gara - 77
Kelvin Lee - 65
Daniel Schipano - 60
