Tyrannosaurus B

She huffed and puffed and rained and poured pulverizing the field at the 2024 Dixie Amateur and B was not spared. The scores are the highest this blogger has ever seen at a major tournament and over 10% of the field has withdrawn or simply left without turning in their score cards. Today wind gusts […]

As Jordan got off the 18th hole she walked up to Allen and dad and said, “You can’t win with 5 three putts.” That really sums up the round. Playing later in the day today was a severe penalty as the wind picked up by the hour to a crescendo after 3pm with gusts approaching […]

The wind was banging and the temperature varied over 30 degrees from hole 1 to hole 18 creating a huge change in playing conditions during opening day at The Dixie Am. Jordan took a little while to acclimate bogeying three of the first five holes (2,3,&4) before she settled down. Good news is that this […]

Just 3 days ago Jordan won the HJGT Tournament of Champions considered one of the “Majors” of the Junior golf world with a stunning two stroke victory over her closest opponent besting 85 other Juniors for the title “Champion of Champions” of the Hurricane Junior Golf Tour. Tomorrow B will begin a grueling 72 hole […]

This will require some explanation as there is history here for Jordan.

Most of the front 9 today was kind of ho hum with pars on 1-4, and bogeys on 5&7. She made the turn at + 2 in 13th place. 10, 11, & 12 were pars then she got a third bogey on 13 putting her in 23rd place of this 86 girl field. Luckily B […]

Every December The Hurricane Junior Golf Tour hosts a tournament that they call their National Championship. There are actually two tournaments that run concurrently at four different venues in Orlando and upwards of 1000 juniors in total compete from ages 4 through 18. To qualify, you need to have placed in the top 5 of […]

Four years ago, this month, Jordan first met Coach Carl Rabito on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. He asked her what she wanted to accomplish in the next four years and beyond with her golf now that she had been playing for the sum total of 7 months. Her answer, “Four years from now I want […]

The goal of this tournament for B was to have Coach Carl Rabito observe her playing during competition so that he would know what they needed to focus on for the off season training. Mission accomplished. SuperMom on the other hand after walking the course four days straight in what is being called “unprecedented heat” […]

Trees and Water were the enemy yesterday and Jordan found lots of both during her opening round of play at The PrimeTime Junior Invitational. Hole 1 lipped out what should have been a birdie. Hole 2’s drive ended up behind a tree, but B managed some magic including a one putt for 🐥. Hole 3 […]
