Kids' Sports Updates

Yesterday was Maria's 3rd outing with the Union County Junior Golf League. She had another decent score (57), but was disappointed that she hadn't broken her record of a 56. She played at a course she had never played before. Ben was the adult chaperone for her group, and again had issues getting along with the parents from other groups that don't know or enforce proper golf etiquette, which is most of the reason the parents are supposed to go. But he tried to be nice about asking the other adults to stop talking while the girls were teeing off, and breaking other rules as well. It does cause Ben frustration and makes the experience not very pleasant for him, however. Below are the scores for the girls in her age group.

(Academy Girls 10-under)
Emily Parish 51
Maria Keller 57
Emily Wilson 58
Galyn Mason 68
Emily York 77
Elisabeth Meuller 80

Sam played in a baseball tournament game last night. We got a phone call from a coach of a Fairbanks 8U team Monday night, stating that he needed a player for their tournament game on Tuesday night (one of their players broke his arm), and he had heard that Sam was a decent T-baller, would he be interested in playing? So Ben took Sam to West Jefferson for the game. The team that he played for has not won a game all season, and sure enough, they got run-ruled last night as well. But Sam had a decent night - he hit the ball both times he was up, got out at first base the first time and thrown out at second on the next hit. We were wondering how he would do since it is so different from T-ball, with strikes, outs, etc. But he did great and enjoyed himself, and is now looking forward to baseball next summer.
