The Golfing Pangles

As you all know golf is a big thing in the Pangle family. Recently, Eric and his mom have been playing in some tournaments. Eric played in a qualifier for the Georgia State Amateur. He shot a 74 and qualified for the tournament which is July 10-13th. He is very excited to be playing some competitive golf for the first time in 7 years. My parents are getting the boys so I can go down to Macon with him to watch the tournament. Also, Eric's mom played in the Albany Amateur tournament a few weeks ago and finished in first place in her flight. She was very excited and we all are very proud of her. Finally, as you can see below Walker has been practicing on his swing in the backyard. Is he destined to follow in the footsteps of his Dad and Grandma? By the way if you want to see how Eric is doing at the tournament, the scores will be posted each day on www.gsga.org

WOMEN’S FIRST FLIGHT
Pam Pangle cruised past the defending champion Becky Yager to win the women’s first flight after carding a 97 in the opening round. Pangle shot an 81 on Sunday to win her first title in only her second year in the tournament. Yager finished second eight strokes behind Pangle, while Day 1 leader Olivia Flanagan ended up nine strokes behind.
“I knew if I could put some good shots together, I had an opportunity,” Pangle said. “Knowing the talent I was up against, it means a lot to win it.”
