Another successful weekend on golf course

PBS (Parkview Baptist School) Golf Team competed in the Beau Chene High School Kickoff Classic this weekend. We played at Beau Chene Golf Club in Mandeville, LA, against about 19 teams. Total golfers were 112.

After Saturday's round we were in 1st place by 3 strokes. It was so cool, during this round I looked up in the sky and above the golf course was a real bald eagle circling above us and of course we are the Parkview EAGLES!!!!! Beau Chene has 2 different courses, but it was flying over us. It gave me a peace about the tournament. It was like the Lord telling us, "you're going to do fine, I'm watching over you". How awesome was that!!!! The regular top scorers on the team didn't have a great day, but our 5th man pulled in a 75 for us. That was big for us. This was the first time he had beaten every team member. He was so pumped. Brandt shot 4 over, a 76. Definitely not his norm...but that's why we're a TEAM.

Sunday...to start with...it was daylight savings weekend. Need I say more... We had a shot-gun start at 8:30 that morning. Everyone did ok...could have been better. Brandt was on fire with every part of his game except putting. He missed 8 birdie putts. He could have been 9 under at the end of that round. In his defense...his putts were difficult. Every putt had a break to it. He was sticking pins, but that's a disadvantage because your putts are so close, you never get a true feel of the green. He still came in 1 under par, with a 71. Nothing to be ashamed of, he was just aggravated with himself.

The team shot a 611 for a 2 day total, beating Mandeville H.S. by 9 strokes. Brandt ended up in a tie for 2nd place, shooting 147 for the 2 days. Pretty darn good in my book!!! 9 of the top 10 Louisiana Jr. ranked golfers were in this tournament. It was some great golf!!!!

I want to say a huge THANK YOU to the many of you that follow, pull for, and pray for Brandt during this exciting time in his life. It can be quite lonely out there, when your game is as good as Brandt's and others view you as a threat. Please continue to lift him up in prayer, that he can remain strong and continue to seek the Lord in all he does.
