The Girls' State Golf Tournament was at The Country Club of Arkansas again in Maumelle.  

These are the girls that she played with.  One was from Pocahantus, one was from DeWitt, and one was from Highland.  They were all sweet girls.

Sadie played really really good!  We were super proud of her.

She acted like she had fun with it too.  

This being her last time to play was sad.  Not that she can't play anytime she wants to the rest of her life.  But the last time to play as a high school student.  I admit it.  I cried.  I couldn't help it.  The tears just started flowing.  I hid it well though.  I don't think anyone knew.

Sadie birdied her last hole to break 90.  She shot an 89.  That's her personal best score ever.  I knew she had it in her.  Coach Worthen knew she had it in her.  Larry knew she had it in her.  I think she even knew it was in there.  I think that's why she got so frustrated all year.  She knew she could do it.

Sadie, Larry, and I went up the day before and had a practice round.  The plan was for Coach Worthen to come too, but he got stuck in traffic and missed the tee time.  

We couldn't have done it without MeMe!!  She met us at Maumelle and got the little girls.  She took them to have fun and then took them back to our house to get them to school and cheer clinic the next day during the tournament.  She didn't want Larry or me to have to miss it.  

I felt bad that she went to that much trouble, but we really enjoyed it.  We all three played a practice round the day before.  Sadie took notes as to what club she should use where.  Sadie and I had a bet going and she played hard enough that she beat me by one stroke.  

We took this picture and Sadie posted it saying, "Enjoying pretending like I'm an only child."

All her work paid off.  Her 89 got her in the top 10 out of the 63 girls.  This is the top girls in the state.

Super proud of this little chick-a-dee.  Not shabby for a girl who doesn't care anything about golf.
