More to come
Brandon Jowers, Langley Vannoy, Clay Vannoy and Madison Pacheco power ECJGT teams at Florida Junior Team Championships
The first trip for an Emerald Coast team to the Florida Junior Team Championships proved to be exciting and successful. In addition to playing to some great competition and proving themselves worthy of their nominations, the team also enjoyed some time off together in the pools and lazy river at Orange Lake Resort. See pictures later for details!
Playing the Arnold Palmer designed Legends Course, Shalimar’s Brandon Jowers showed he is not just a force in the panhandle, but also on a state level by winning the unofficial individual honors and leading the Boys 16-18 team to a tie for 2nd place! His rounds of 67-68-133 led the team to a 4 under finish as a team. Pensacola’s Trey Aguirre shot 76-74 and Jay’s Jesse Floyd shot 75-80 to each post a supporting scores. They are all itching to come back next for the win, as they were only two strokes behind the winning team!
The Girls 13-15 placed fourth, just on shot from third! Pensacola’s Madison Pacheco lead the team with rounds of 81-77 and tied for 5th individually. She was supported by Niceville’s Antonia Poate who followed a first round 82 with a career low 79 on day 2, which also gave her a top 10 individual finish. Niceville’s Rachel Butterfield joined them with rounds of 93 and 125. Both Madi and Toni are also eligible to return in this division next year.
The Boys 13-15 division saw Pensacola’s Clay Vannoy take third place individually at 1 over par after very solid ball-striking rounds of 72-71-143 on the Orange Lake Reserve Course. This propelled his team to a seventh place finish in a very strong field. He was joined by Davis Bowyer with rounds of 84-79 and Jason Rogers with 88-80.
Pensacola’s Langley Vannoy two solid rounds of 74-76-150 placed her 8th individually and her team to a 7th place finish. She was joined on the team by Niceville’s Jaime Jordan with 83-84 and with Ivey Kelly 89-86.
A big thank you to all the players and parents for their time and commitment. Michele and I are already looking forward to next year! Posted 8/9/2010
