Notables - Though the hound dogs (DAWG and Lil' Bulldog) couldn't be out today, we saw two very nice doggies on holes 7 (Big T from 21 feet) and #13 (GirlPower from 16 feet)
- It was an 11 skin day with 6 to Big T, 4 to Bamboo and 1 for GirlPower
- Bamboo and GirlPower regularly took advantage of some yardage differences to humble Big T and Coach Dave on a number of holes - as they walked by our balls, they asked "did someone drop a ball here?"
- Thanks as usual to our parent spectators who joined in the fun and helped find a ball or two, but mostly encouraged our players.
Quotables
- It's a day to focus on "opportunities" - to try new shots, to find new ways to get out of difficult situations, to see new ways to play some holes
- Match play - perserverance is an essential value
- Eeeeeeeeks, I forgot to keep track of my 3 putts - no problem, WE remember every one of them!
- Emails, pictures, caps and a very important questionnaire are on their way to you.

Summary
So this was it - the final event in the inaugural season of the Kevin Haime Junior Slammer Tour. We had a return visit to the beautiful Metcalfe Golf Club and as always, we were well taken care of by staff in the pro shop, on the course and in the lounge. Though the forecast was a bit iffy, we managed to get our players through their rounds and back in the clubhouse just as the rain started and the thunder rumbled.
It was a big day for Big T who paid a surprise visit to his tourmates and came away with 15 points which trampoulined him into the top 3 in points. Both Bamboo and GirlPower played in their 5th event each, the only ones to complete the entire tour. Way to go!! Thanks to all players and their encouraging parents from the coaches, Executive Golf and Kevin Haime. We all hope that the word gets out about our tour and that next year, we'll have a full slate of players and a longer tour.

Bamboo (r) |
|
Bamboo showed off her improving game throughout the day today. Her drives are always solid and after a week of practicing (and I mean like Veejay Singh practices), Bamboo markedly improved her iron, pitching, chipping and sand play. She came away with a tie, 4 skins and 4 nice smiles today - good enough for the first star and a 1 hour private lesson at the Kevin Haime Golf School. I believe she's looking forward to the rest of the summer at her home club meeting new girls and PLAYING, PLAYING, PLAYING! |

Big T |
|
Big T, big drives, solid irons and 15 points - a nice performance from the difficult Black tees at Metcalfe, earning second star honours. Well done Big T! |
|
GirlPower (r) |
|
Always a pleasure to be around and to play with, GirlPower is our poster child for great values. And the money his parents invested in his smile proved to be great value-for-money today. It was on display through thick and thin. He earned 3rd star honours with yet another dog, another tie and 4 pars. Though the youngest of our players, there's no doubt that he has the swing, the game and the attitude to be on the tour. Bravo! |
