Thank you, to all that participated!


Mary Janiga finishes 5th place over all at the
2009 U.S. Kids Golf European Championships held in Scotland.


"Going to Scotland was the best and coldest golf experiences I have ever had. While I was in Scotland I met many new friends from all over the world. I also met some of my old friends too.  The first day of the tournament, it was very cold and windy (45 deg. and 28 mph winds). Even the local Scots had to admit is was windy and cold. My score of 91 on the first day was not so good, but most of the scores were high. I finished in 5th place over all with scores of 91, 82 and 83. I was very happy.  Going to Scotland was the best experience I have ever had. I hope I can go back next year !"
