I don’t know how. I am not sure it will ever happen again… but for now, Zoë is the 2018 FCG Callaway World Champion in the 8-under girls division.
2018 FCG Callaway World Championship 8-U Girls
In the Rancho Mirage summer heat, Zoë went wire-to-wire to win. She started off shooting 3-under on the day one. It’s good to have some strokes in the bank, as she shot +4 on day two with some unnecessary risky play. Our final round goal was just to be calm and rely on her experience in competitive situations. We managed stroke-by-stroke to an even par final round to win the world championship by 7 strokes!
Zoë was so happy to play with her old and new friends from Canada, China, Colombia, Japan, Mexico, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand.
Here is a link to the final scoreboard.
Next Step: Try other sports
Eat, sleep, golf,,, repeat. Since, all we could control is our preparation that’s where we applied ourselves 5+ days per week. Zoë was fortunate in that preparation allowed her to win SDJGA POY, FCG Las Vegas, FCG International, and now the FCG World Championship.
Perhaps, I shouldn’t mess with a working formula, but I feel this much golf practice is not a recipe for long-term success. My plan is to have Zoë start playing competitive tennis. She also wants to try gymnastics (after 5 years of suffering through WuShu). I am hopeful that instruction in these other sports will translate into better athleticism and avoid a potential burnout in golf.
