💡 Tournament recap

Last week our son had the honor of competing in the Sage Valley Junior Invitational. While junior golfers travel from all over the world to compete in it, we're fortunate enough to only live 11 miles away, which made it much easier for our family and friends to follow along.

I think our son Hamilton would agree it was one of the most challenging courses he's ever played. Not only was it physically demanding for him, but it was a true mental test. The greens are bent, just like Augusta National, and you definitely get the feeling it's some place special. The greens were fast, the hills were steep, and it pushed his limits as a junior golfer. 

Each participant must stay on the property there at Sage Valley, which meant we had to drop him off for almost a week. This was different for us as parents, but trust me when I tell you this was one of his favorite perks!

In the end, Miles Russel and Aphrodite Deng brought home the trophy and Golden Jacket. Congratulations to both of them for their amazing victories!

Overall, it was one of the most memorable experiences for our son and our family. Sage Valley was an amazing host and I'm hopeful we'll be back again one day.
