Jaycie Walker wins at Bayard and medals at Sidney

Kimball High girl’s golf coach Nora Robinson has only two girls playing tournament golf at this time but her two seniors are really stepping up as indicated by their performances in the first two tournaments.

Jaycie Walker shot a career best round of 99 to finish 7th in the bigger school Division one at the Sidney Tournament on a tough Hillside Golf Course, then came right back to shoot 99 again at the Bayard Tournament to capture first place by 7 strokes. Kalli Bush wound up 7th at Bayard with her round of 118 after shooting 122 at Sidney and finishing out of the medal group.

In shooting her career low scores and earning her first medals ever, I asked Miss Walker what she attributed her improvement too.

“I worked hard on my game this past summer and spent a lot of time out on the course. My grandpa (Charlie Carlson) spent time with me, and my cousin (Kendall Ferguson) really helped me as well,” Walker said.

Another example of practice does help in what ever sport you are involved with.

The Kimball girls were at home at their own tournament this past Tuesday, and are off to the Creek Valley Tournament today (Thursday). with a 9 a.m. start time. On September 11 they are at Mitchell. Coach Robinson has 4 new young players on the team as well but has not put them into tournament competition as of yet.
