I voted as well. Women softball players don't get the credit they deserve

Thanks for the update Dan.

I am sure some mixed emotions there with not being able to progress to "states" but a great high to finish his HS golf career on!

Normally, the top 9 from each section in the state (11 sections) goes on to "states" - however, due to the COVID situation, the governor of NY cancelled all state competitions for 2021 back in January. (NJ did have states, and he played this past weekend in another tournament with boys who finished 11th and 12th in NJ State.) So, his high school golf "career" is finished with him ending it with one of his best rounds ever.

This coming fall, he will be on the men's golf team at Catholic University of America (CUA) in Washington, DC (hence my change in avatars over the past 6 months).

A heartfelt thank you to everyone here who has cast a vote (or several). I really appreciate it!

Been meaning to ask Dan — where does your son go from here? What is the next tournament he presumably has now qualified for?

I used to plug someone else's granddaughter all the time when it came to voting for them in their newspaper's "athlete of the week".

Time for me to plug for my own kid (CD13).

He shot a +3 75 at sectionals last Tuesday to win the thing (by 3 strokes). Very, very rare that golf ever gets a mention, and it would be sweet for a golfer to win the thing. It's a small voting window - closes tomorrow at 2:00 PM EDT. It seems to let me vote repeatedly, but nowhere does it show the tally. (It does say at the top of the article to "vote as frequently as possible".

Sincere thanks to any who help out!
