On Saturday, myself and Rad were fortunate enough to play with our girl’s scholarship recipient Leah Edwards. On the unfortunate side of that coin, we were rained out after 4 holes. We’re re-scheduling for another round in the next few weeks but I wanted to put some thoughts on paper, so everybody was still in the loop.
• She is a player. She hits high bombs off the tee. On the Par 5 she missed the green right on her second and left herself short sided. She then hit a beautiful flop to ten feet to give herself a great look at birdie – the best she could do from that position
• She is always trying to get better – after the round she asked for a quick mini-lesson from the Quail assistant pro Luis, and by all accounts is a grinder back in Greensboro
• Her dream school is Wake Forest, and she was even wearing a pair of old Wake Forest golf shoes. Face time in front of Coach Llewellyn at the camp was extremely valuable to her
Overall, it was a great experience and we got to hangout for an hour or two before we called it because the of the rain. I think she’s a great representation of what we’re looking for with the BCCC Scholarship – strong players with good etiquette and competitive drive for the game.
