After two days of practice rounds Jordan has a good feeling for the course and is ready to go. Impending bad weather has forced the rules officials to push the start time forward to 12:30 rather then 1:00. It will be a shotgun start (This means that everyone will T off at the same time […]

B and SuperMom hit the road at 4:59am today on their way to North Carolina to kick off a two week trip that will cover three cities and two 54 hole tournaments with a 3 day stopover with Coach Carl in Orlando in between. The first tournament is on the Peggy Kirk Bell Tour and […]
Jordan walked 17.6 miles, hit every fairway except one for 36 holes and shot 20 fewer strokes then she did at her US Open Qualifier last year but unfortunately that was not enough. (Click for pics and more)
For the second time in as many years the Woman’s USOpen will be one small dinosaur short. She gave it her all but this course ate them up and spit them out. It was brutal and hilly with almost no sand in the bunkers and she never gave up. Six others did not have the […]
Jordan is in Pittsburgh where tomorrow she will try to earn a spot to play in the 78th US WOMANS OPEN in July in Pebble Beach. (Click for pictures and more).
On Saturday morning along with both coaches Carl Rabito and Jerry Yochum and dad the driver Jordan left Pound Ridge at 5:07 am for Pittsburgh and her attempt to make it into the US OPEN after only two full seasons of competitive golf.

Jordan turns the last third of the day around after another tough first 12 holes shooting +3 on the day. (Click for pictures and more).
Golfers often say, “I played much better than I scored,” and that is exactly what happened with Jordan today. Her driver was nothing less than perfect….truly, she hit every fairway and out drove her two playing partners on every single hole. Her irons were crisp and accurate, her putts simply refused to fall. Her card […]
Today for Jordan did not go as planned at Canebrake. Day three tomorrow. (Click for pics and more).
Nothing was terribly wrong today in Jordan’s game, just nothing went terribly well. On the positive side, the drives were longer and more sure than yesterday. Birdie opportunities, of which there were many, just refused to fall. There are just days like this in golf. Terribly frustrating for B, but all a part of the […]
After a bit of a rough start, Jordan clawed her way back to end the day at even par after the first 18 at Canebrake. (Click for pics and more).
As usual, Jordan did not make it easy on her supporters as she opened today’s tournament with a bogey on hole one. On hole two, a par five, she barely saved par after her second shot ended up in the sand. She parred 3 & 4, then bogeyed 5 to go to 2 over through […]
Jordan arrived in Athens Alabama last night and prepares for the AJGA Junior at Canebrake presented by Piedmont Bank. (Click for pics and more).
For those of you who have never been to Alabama and are considering a visit, be sure you like BBQ as that is the staple here in Athens for the culinary scene. When Jordan landed last night she was chasing it and after passing half a dozen churches and gun shops she dove into a […]
Jordan will return to competition this week, but not to North Carolina as planned. (Click for details).
Jordan was offered a place last week in the AJGA Junior at Canebrake in Alabama so she pulled out of the Peggy Kirk Bell so that she could play this event instead. Jordan asked this blogger not to publish her schedule going forward and this is exactly why…The speed at which it changes and will […]
JORDAN TURNS 16, and a very exciting summer season begins to come into focus.
Incredible cake made for the B by her Uncle Tracy. Jordan had a birthday “couple of weeks” of note with visits from David Sirkin, Yirong (Dan), Iris, & Sarah Zheng, Ed Reda visited last week, and coach Jerry Yochum just left last night after three days with Jordan and Carl. Unfortunately Gramma Jerie and Cool […]
