from junior clinic to U.S. Open

There are several amateurs who have had good starts....I hope Jean and her fellow amateurs do well today and play the weekend...that would be great for women's golf. It was interesting to watch though the media attention given to a young "superstar" who can't break 80....when the real story is how well the amateurs like Jean did competing in a Major event.

hg,

I don't believe Jean is an amateur if she's competing on the futures tour.
However it's still awesome to be in the position she is coming straight from the "minor league" tour into her first LPGA event.

Ted awesome work. I love seeing the right forearm on plane. You're a great teacher and you'll have many more of these stories to tell as more and more of your student's start breaking through in the world of tournament golf.

Mistake duly noted...apologies to all for mislabelling Jean as an "amateur" ...no offense was intended.

I just talked to Jean. She was disappointed in the score today. She hit the ball fairly well and failed to score. The two doubles killed her. I asked her what she learned from today, and she said that putting is next on the agenda for overhaul. She had some birdie opportunities but made nothing today.

She said one of the real disappointments was hitting a perfect wood to a long par 3 and finding a sprinkler head. It bounced a mile in the air and lead to a bogey. She said she was encouraged by her ball striking but failed to rebound from bogeys with birdies.

I told her I was VERY PROUD of her and not to worry. This was the first of many U.S. Opens for her.

A valiant effort:

Jean Reynolds 75-82=157 / +11 / MC

Congratulations, Jean. To have qualified for our national championship is an honor earned by few. We salute you and applaud your resolutions for the future.
