Southwest Junior Golf Tour

Lone Star Memorial

Boys 7 & Under

Indian Creek GC

Kyle displays "Closest the Pin" and "Longest Drive" Trophies

Of the 3 tournaments offered by the Southwest Junior Golf Tour - Kyle competed in 2.

The first was the Lone Star Memorial, held Memorial Day weekend at Indian Creek Golf Course, here in Carrollton. Kyle had just turned 7 and on the first day of the tournament, had his very first HOLE IN ONE!!

Using his sand wedge, Kyle's tee shot dropped onto the green and rolled in on the par 3 sixth hole. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the picture due to my position in the cart, but not only did Paul and I see it - but his grandparents, Mary and Larry Lay and Coach Wesley Francis witnessed it as well.

Although the weather was cool and drizzly, there was a great turnout and Kyle won the longest drive, closest to the pin and first place.

In the Summer of 2007, we were invited by Robert Valero to represent Texas in the 1st "Texas Mexico Cup". This is a Ryder style tournament for boys and girls from Texas and Mexico in a 3 day tournament. In the inaugural event, Texas won every divsion except boys 12-13 and everyone had a blast. Playing on his Junior Mini Tour helped to qualify golfers for this prestigious event held in the summer.

The 1st Texas Mexico Cup was held at Canyon Springs Golf Course in San Antonio Texas. 46 boys and girls from Texas faced 46 junior golfers from Mexico's two junior golf associations. Playing in the Boys 7, Kyle was undefeated in 9 hole match play and now he looks forward to 2008 to move up to Boys 8-9 and 18 holes on each day of the 3 day tournament.

Still 7 yr old, he competed up in the Boys 8 - 9 division and it was the first time he played the longer distances for 18 holes each day. He placed 4th in two of the events and earned his spot on the 2008 Texas Mexico Cup Team.

Kyle joins the older boys in Denver, Colorado - Sept 2007

In September, Kyle was asked to join a group of Texas boys ages 9 - 14, to play their counterparts in Denver, Colorado. Still 7, Kyle paired up against the 9 year olds and battled it out on 18 holes of the Green Valley Golf Course. In very windy conditions, Kyle and Levi didn't win the alternate shot or better ball events but they did take it to the final hole on each of the matches. Kyle did win in a head to head match with 9 yr old Coby Welch taking him all 18 holes to go 2 up.

Kyle points to his win.

The East Texas Chapter of the NTPGA decided to have a two-day tournament during Spring Break. Kyle and Paul travelled to Tyler, Tx and competed in the Boys 7-9 division. 6 yr old Kyle would be playing 5200 yards, just like the Boys 10-11 group. Kyle's score was the lowest of those two groups and he was ecstatic to win the inaugural event and the beautiful trophy they presented.

It was one of the first golf courses Kyle played and practiced on when he was first learning to play golf. It was close to home and it was lighted. Kyle shot a 31 to take first place and Ryan and Chase tied for 2nd.
