Second league win. yeah!

'A' shot a 59 having trouble with the thick roughs of Torrey Pines. It doesn't take much to get off the fairways and into the roughs. If your short game isn't in order you will pay for it.


Mira Mesa 304, San Diego 350; at Torrey Pines (par-36); med.: Vitale (MiMe) 58.

First League match Yesterday. 'A' shot 53.

First League match Yesterday.
They WON!
MMHS had one of their starters back, and 3 of the girls shot in the 50's, one shot a 61 and the other two shot in the 70's ( including their returning starter).
The team this year had only shot a 315 as their lowest score, but yesterday they shot a 279!
'A' and 'N' both shot 53. which was the lowest score on the team. the next girl on her team shot a 54. if they keep shooting in the low 50's, they will be in good shape.

Two matches Coronado and CCHS

"A" played as a Varsity against Coronado, and shot a 63. Which might not appear to be great, she is making strides every time out.
Of the 12 girls in the match Amber had the farthest drive off the number 1 tee, and she was the first to tee off.
Which meant everyone was watching.... no pressure.
















I could only see the number 1, 2, and 9 holes. Number 2 she par'd the 450yd par 5. she was on the green in 3, and two putted.















She bogied the 9th.

"A" was fortunate enough to play Fairbanks ranch which is an elite country club that is beautiful, and tough. She shot a 66. for her first time on the course. The team they played is a private school, in a well off neighborhood. The girls from that school have been playing since a young age, and have the best of everything from coaches to time on the course, to equipment. One kid was even seen getting satelite feeds, and a scientist was taking soil samples for her. I 've seen it a thousand times.
Thier number 1 golfer was teamed up in "A"'s foursome, and she shot a 37 on a par 36. WOW!
"A" is having a good time
The scores will start coming down. so stay tuned

Transition from Softball to Golf

Can you believe it, Amber is in High School? She is playing golf as a H.S. sport. She as already made the team, and is already Varsity!
She has practiced with the girls for about 4 weeks now. She had 2 practice rounds at Mission Bay, and one at Torrey pines South. ( The same course that the Us Open, and The Buik invitational were played on...PGA. )




















They only play 9 holes at a time, and her goal is to get as low as a 50. Right now she is around the low 60's.
I know there are many of you asking "hey, is there anything we can do to help?"
Well yes there is. Golf can challange your patience, and your wallet. So if you want to donate a bag, or a set of clubs, feel free. You can reply to : eratza@sbcglobal.net.


"A" is getting her drives to about 210-225 yards when she is hitting good.

















Her little sister hits the ball pretty well, and is getting into it as well.
