The Unbridled Joy Of Youth

A young lady has qualified for the US Women’s Amateur.

A young lady of 10

Latanna qualified by shooting a two-under 70 in a regional qualifier. Her handicap is a plus-one. She drives the ball 225 yards. And she does not play from the red tees.

The USWA is August 6-12 in Cleveland, where Latanna will compete with the best female amateur golfers in the country. She’s the youngest to ever qualify for the tournament, though it really wasn’t a fluke.

The best quote from the interview goes roughly like this:

Reporter: What’s the most strokes you’ve ever given a guy?

Latanna: Um, 14 I think.

Reporter: Did you win?

Latanna: Well duh.

She’s precious.

    She looks older than that, for sure, but to my ear the voice and the attitude are perfect for that age.
