Junior golfers tee up at Whispering Winds Published Sept. 6, 2006 By Dennis "Cris" Christensen Whispering Winds golf director CANNON AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. -- The 12th annual Air Combat Command-sponsored U.S. Kids Golf Program, hosted at the Whispering Winds Golf Course, ended July 21. Many of the children were first-time golfers but two weeks of intensive golf instruction, provided them the basics of the sport. Participants in the clinic were assigned by age groups and attended six sessions. The first five sessions were devoted to learning the basics of the golf swing, golf course etiquette, putting, chipping and driving. The sixth session was a nine-hole tournament. Each golfer played with a parent as their partner and after the tournament, they were treated to a hotdog lunch. The winners received trophies and each golfer received a graduation certificate for their participation. The following is a list of tournament and closest-to-the pin winners: Six Year Old Flight: Miles Aubuchon - 33 Seven Year Old Flight: Evan Slowick - 36 Eight Year Old Flight: Hanna Hugo - 32 Nine Year Old Flight: Tribecca Bess - 38 Ten Year Old Flight: Scott Hollandsworth and Gabby Woyak tied - 39 Eleven Year Old Flight: Preston Ray - 37 Twelve Year Old Flight: Brian Dixon - 35 Thirteen Year Old Flight: Kelsey Porto and Raelea Grant tied - 40 Evan Fuller won closest-to the-pin on hole 3, Devin Glover hole 7, Christian Hugo hole 11 and Raelea Grant hole 17.
