| A smile for the camera with a first place win. |
The East Texas Chapter of the NTPGA decided to have a two-day tournament
during Spring Break. Kyle and Paul travelled to Tyler, Tx and competed in the Boys 7-9 division. 6 yr old Kyle
would be playing 5200 yards, just like the Boys 10-11 group. Kyle's score was the lowest of those two groups and
he was ecstatic to win the inaugural event and the beautiful trophy they presented.

Junior Golf Tour Lone Star Memorial Boys 7 & Under Indian Creek GC

| Kyle displays "Closest the Pin" and "Longest Drive" Trophies |
Of the 3 tournaments offered by the Southwest Junior Golf Tour - Kyle
competed in 2.
The first was the Lone Star Memorial, held Memorial Day weekend at Indian Creek Golf Course,
here in Carrollton. Kyle had just turned 7 the day before the event and on the first day of the tournament, had his
very first HOLE IN ONE!!
Using his sand wedge, Kyle's tee shot dropped onto the green and rolled in on the par
3 sixth hole. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the picture due to my position in the cart, but not only did Paul and
I see it - but his grandparents, Mary and Larry Lay and Coach Wesley Francis witnessed it as well.
Although
the weather was cool and drizzly, there was a great turnout and Kyle won the longest drive, closest to the pin and first place.
After 3 years of hosting the Lone Star Memorial by herself - in 2010, Kay Dalke joined forces with Universal Golf
Solutions and this event would be handled by Universal Golf Solutions but retain the name "Lone Star Memorial".
It was the start of what would eventually grow into a prestigious Junior Golf Championship Series.
