Wow, that's great!

I'm curious, can you give us a breakdown of her carry yardages?  I just don't have any reference for someone that skilled at that age...

She's much shorter than most girls her age, too, and even among girls her age the carry yardage varies. She's longer than some girls older than her, and shorter than some younger girls.

Her 7-iron goes about 125 right now, give or take 10 yards.

Congrats Natalie on such a good round!

She's 14, right?  Amazing.  THAT,  I'd watch!  

What yardage do they play from.

Her 79 today was from 5200 yards. Par 72, 71.2/123.

The 84 last week when she won outright was 5500 yards, par 73, 73.6/134.

She shot 80 at Harbor Ridge and lost in a scorecard playoff last week, too… 68.6/114.

Differentials were… 6.9, 8.4, and 10.8. She shot 79 at a 5300 yard 72.9/124. That would have been a 5.3 differential.

Shake off the loss, @NatalieB. This isn't the day you lost in a playoff. This is the day you first broke 80 in competition! A special day in a golfer's journey if there ever was one. You'll get 'em next time!

It's been a bit of a weird (good) run here for about ten days now.

Just for perspective, how big is she physically?  She looks fairly small...

80 pounds, 4'9.5". Should wind up 5'4"-5'6".

Remember, the length of the clubs affects things too. I can't hit her 7-iron over about 150-ish.

Hell, I hit a little 7-iron 135 on Sunday....

...and my left leg weighs 80 lbs.

at that age the .5"  makes a difference...
