Purple Reign

Five under 80, one in the 60s and 1 in the 70s They do it all. We're very fortunate that it's important to the girls. They spend a lot of time and their work ethic is great and I've got Kellie Lavy ho helps me and she's a great golf coach, a great person and great mother to the girls. He means that literally I just get them on the bus and have a good time. On emma, She played extremely well. It was great golf to watch, especially at the state tournament. Emma was two under and it took three holes to win it so that shows you the caliber of play that it takes to win it. Just watchng her shot for shot on that playoff. The first hole she strikes a driver about eight feet from the hole on a par 4. But that was really, really fun to watch and getting to the ovearall was obviously her goal. That's how she started her freshman year was winning that and then she finished her career by winnign that, so it was a big day for us. We're still relatively young, we lose emma and Clancy jones who shot a 79 in the state tournament. They are goig to be hard to replce, just those kids of scores plus the leadership is just irreplaceable over the last four years. But we've got three others coming that have played for us in micah radler, just a sophomore, and she shoots I think a 74 or 75, then Katie petrino will be back as a senior and she shot a 76 and then Olivia l:vy will be back and shot a 76. The future is still bright. And we've got two other girls who didn't play and one is apable of being in the 70s and the other in the high 80s, so the future is still really good. As long as I stay out of the way, I think we'll be OK. Emm does it all really well, obvisouly committing to Arkansas, she;s got the total game. Her younger sister hits it far but she's always checking to see if she's ahead of emma, that's kind of her goal I think. The one that hits it the furthest off of the T would probably be Katie. She hits it extremely far when she catches it. She is very quiet, but she's very competitive. She the type of athlete that does everything well. She's a great softall player, but I didn't know she was a Level 10 gymnast before she came here. She's quiet and very unassuming, but you want her on your side when the competion is going on. Micah radler probably has the best short game. She doesn't hit it as far as the others, but she des a nice job of getting up and down. She's very good around the greens and putting. Clancy is one of those kids who has just came so far in four years. Her biggest deal was having confidence in herself. She's always been a good golfer, btu it's just believing she is a good golfer. Over the last two years, she's really stepped into that role very well. Kellie Lavy - their dad got them into golf when they were young, their oldest sister actually started golfing in 1999 I believe and she actually won two titles and it went from there. That's the way they grew up and that's just what they do. Everything in the house is competitive. Where we're going to go eat to what we are going to watch for TV to what they wear to how many yellow cars are on the road if you are on a car trip. Everything is a competion. Olivia plays basketball. Ema at one time did dance and gymnastic, but mainly golf other than that. It makes it easier to live on a golf course because they can just get in the cart and go practice anytime they want to. everything is right there There's always something on the table whether its money or dinner or whatever. We have goals for them since they were little. If you achieve this in golf or if you achieve a certain score, you get to have a shopping trip or you get to go to New York. You up the goal for every time they get better. Anna Grace, the youngest one, gets to go to New Yo rk because she achieved one of her goals this summer. Five daughters, Emma, Olivia, Hannah, Brittany, Anna Grace He's tough on them. He expects a lot of himself and a lot ou of them, if he had had a son, I'm not sure how he would have been but I;'m sure he would have adapted. They want to excel and they expect a lto fo themselves as well as each other. Katie Petrino — when I was little, my whole family played. I didn't really play much when I was little becase I did other sports. I always just played with my grandparets and my dad (on my dad's side). My dad taught me how to play. Everywhere we've moved, we've lived ona golf course. This is the first place we've lived where we haven't lived on a gold course, which kind of stinks, but we've actually put a putting green into our back yard. It's about half of the size of a regular-sized green. I was really excited. In grergia, we had woin state, too, but we were in 2A. Wen I came here and found out that they had done really well, I was really excited to be a part of it. In softball, they won state too, so that was nicne to see. Start at second but also pitch. Micah Radler - I have an older brother sawyer and younger brother thatcher. We all play golf. Our whoel family does. My parents taught me, both my mom and dad played college golf. Lulong and Hug Radler, both played at Tulsa. My dad came over here when we were working at churce and now we all live here. Sawyer is defintley better than me. He got a gof scholarship to ASU, I like to cheer for high school, but probably golf for the long term. Also did gymnastics at an early age. Emma - sometimes. We have a lot of fun. We had fun all season and I had fun my entire golf career, but this year has been really fun. I love it. I love being here./ I love the course obviously. I love being around my family and the coaches, it's nice. My dad taught me. Definitely. He told me one time when I was little to always stay patient. And the first thing I tell myself is to be patient during a golf round. Keep your head on and never give up. That's something I always tell myself. They would probably say I;m the best glfer in my family but that doesn't include my dad. My dad and me haven't had a gold match in a while. We're all really competiive. We never get mad at each other, we don't love it, but it makes us beter and we're always happy fr each other if when we don't, We have a olf cart and we always go putt for 10 minutes, you don't have to drive anywhere and even my little sisters can drive in the golf carts. I drive it about 240. Clancy Jones — me and emema had grown up together since we were 4 and my whoel family played golf, my dad, greeg jones, and my brother, ramsey jones, he's young than me, but he's getting so good at golf. He's in 7th grade. Being a part of this awesome team that we have and winnign conference and state every year that I've been there, that really is a big deal. People don't realize how serious and competiive girls golf actually is, but it is very, very competive so it's a big deal that we did this. Not competively, but definitely just for fun. Fi I wanted to play, have to go to small school, but most likely go to an acdemic school to be a doctor, maybe north Carolina. We're al members up here and our coaches, we're all like family and have a great time. The closeness that we have where nobody wants to let the other one down, so we all practice and take that extra step by dedicatig orselves just so we could win as a team. Katie is aweseom. We all knew each other just because it's Fayetteville and we had all grown up together but she came in here and fit in perfectly. She's so sweet, but she can kill the bnall. It's amazing. Not as far as them. I have improved a lto this year and last year, in a wreck in 10th grade, played whell when I was practicing but when I got out there, it was a different story. Olivia - Liv, I have about 50, Lizard, Wizzie, Olizia, just kind of whatever they think of first. I practice with them everyday and it helps knowing how hard she practices and hosw hard she works, so it helps me just being around that. I love golf. I play basketball,t oo. We def have pressurebut we def have a good tema coming up with me, micah and Katie, and we've got Shelby whose coming up Shelby damiels freshman, and alex stussell? She'll be a junior next year. I need to improve consistency. I have good days and bad days, so I need to be more consistent. My dad taught me and now my mom is into it and she's the one telling us to go practice. Used to like basketball more because I didn't like pratcciing golf, but now I love golf. I didn't like to work hard for a logn time, but practicing with them has made me good at it and that makes it fun.
