I had an opportunity to go over to Mira Vista Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas yesterday for the 1st round of the Kathy Whitworth Girls Jr. Invitational. One of my students, Kelly Grassel, from Chesterton, Indiana participated.
Kelly is a Sophomore in High School and a very good junior player. She won the Indiana Girls Match Play Championship in 2010 and at the end of the year was named Player of the Year for the state of Indiana.
She shot 79-74 to finish tied for 21st in the years first national event. The first round conditions were very difficult. She had an early tee time and was faced with 20 mph north winds and a temperature of 45. She struggled a bit but for not playing virtually any golf in 4 months she turned in a decent performance. The tournament was sort of spring training for her as well as a barometer for how she stacks up against the nations best.
I expect big things from this girl in 2011. Have a look at her swing from our lesson on Saturday, March 12.
