Devyn and her father during a practice round

I have not been able to post much the last month or so, but I have some great news (no, I have not gotten better); my niece Devyn lettered in Golf at Elmira High School! I was able to break free and walk the last 10 holes at her district qualifier. Though she did not qualify for state, she had a very good round. What makes this so great is that this is her first year of competitive golf. During golf season, I was lucky enough to see her every Tuesday out at Diamond Woods Golf course while she was at practice. She is going to be a pretty good player, and I will be losing to her soon! I am very proud of her and can’t wait for next year.

GREAT JOB DEVYN!
