Lance Simpson wins the 2020 Tennessee Boys Junior PGA Championship

OLD HICKORY, Tenn. – Lance Simpson said all he did while being quarantined for the COVID-19 pandemic was “golf, golf and golf.” It obviously helped keep his game in good form for this week’s Tennessee Junior PGA Championship at Old Hickory Country Club. Simpson, a rising senior at Farragut High School, fired a two-day total of 10-under, 132 to run away with the tournament title by eight strokes over runner-up Riley Grindstaff of Thompson’s Station. “It feels good to finally get back on the course again, because I can play tournament golf and do what I love,” Simpson said. “It feels really good to win the first tournament of the year. It gives me a lot of motivation for the rest of the season.” Simpson had just a one-stroke lead as he made the turn to his final nine of the cham pionship Tuesday afternoon. Just in time, though, he caught fire and started to pull away. The University of Tennessee commitment played his final ten holes in six-under par, with four straight birdies on holes 9-12 and then back-to-back on 17 and 18. Simpson finished the tournament with 13

birdies in two rounds. He opened with a 3-under, 68 on Monday and followed that up with a 7-under, 64 to finish. Tuesday’s effort broke the tournament record for lowest final 18-hole score by the eventual champion. Simpson also broke the record for biggest winning margin (8, previous was 6) and tied the tournament mark for lowest total score relative to par (132). “I was able to capitalize on making birdies when I needed to,” Simpson said. Grindstaff made three birdies on his final nine to rally for a second-place finish at twounder, 140 (70-70). Three players tied for third, including Re ece Britt of Maryville (72-69), J.J. Zimmer of Humboldt (71-70) and Sheldon McKnight of Ooltewah (69-72). Jon Wesley Lovelace of Kingsport and Gray Campbell of Humboldt tied for sixth at 142, Bo Maradik of Nashville and Nicklaus Etherton of Friendsville tied for eighth at 143, and Edward Hull of Nashville and Carson Kammann of Knoxville tied for 10th at 144.

Lynn Lim wins the 2020 Tennessee Girls Junior PGA Championship

OLD HICKORY, Tenn.— After a long lay off from competitive golf, Lynn Lim wasn’t sure what to expect from her game. Before her opening round in the Tennes- see Girls’ Junior PGA Championship at Old Hickory Country Club on Monday, she predicted she might shoot an 85. Needless to say, she exceeded her expectations. Lim, a Class of 2022 standout from Gallatin, turned in a two-day total of two-under, 140 to win the tournament for the second time in three years. “It’s been a long time since I’ve been out here playing tournaments, so I wasn’t really planning on winning,” Lim said. “Most of it was trying to get back into the groove of things. I’m glad to have it in the bag. It was super fun and it was nice to see all my friends who live out of town.” “I’m just kind of like a go-with-the-flow type of person, which is why I was like ‘I’m going to shoot an 85’. I don’t have any expectations when I’m out here. I’m just trying to play my game and have as much fun as I can.” Lim opened the tournament with a twounder, 69 to hold a three-stroke lead over

rising Kingsport Dobyns-Bennett senior Isa bella van der Biest. Tuesday’s final round got off to an inauspicious start for Lim as she bogeyed the first hole and saw van der Biest play the opening three holes in one-under to pull within a stroke. However, Lim got a stroke back with a birdie on No. 4 and increased her lead to four by the turn. Another Gallatin standout, Kynadie Adams, made a hard charge on the back nine and got to within two strokes of the lead with birdies on 12 and 14. That was as close as she got, though, as Lim closed things out with three straight pars. Lim admitted that it was fun being back on the course after the long hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “I slept a lot,” she laughed. “I practiced a little bit, but I wasn’t trying to kill myself over it. My country club had its regulations and I was just trying to be in shape and keep things moving.” “Just being able to see my friends again (was the highlight). It’s been months since I’ve got to see them in person. Usually by this time of year I’ve seen them numerous times. I haven’t seen them in a while. That’s the memory of this week I’ll take away.” Adams finished runner-up with a two-day total of even-par, 142 after a closing two-under, 69. Sophie Linder of Carthage also rebounded nicely on day two as she followed up an opening 76 with a 69 to finish alone in third at +3, 145. Coming in fourth was van der Biest (72-74- 146), followed by Claire Henson of Jackson (75-72-147). Rounding out the top ten were Kendall Maynard of Clarksville (76-77-153), Lily Bloodworth of Hendersonville (82-74- 156), Emily Wilson (77-79-156), Kyndall Shamblin of Cleveland (78-78-156) and Lex- anne Halama of Knoxville (83-76-159). The finishing order of this year’s top three was exactly the same as it was in 2018 at the Golden Eagle Club in Cookeville. Lynn won the title that year by two strokes over Adams and three over Linder.

Metro Parks back open for business

With the exception of Shelby, all Metro Parks golf courses are open for business. The courses opened May 26 with guidelines in place to ensure the safety of staff and golfers. Shelby remains closed indefinitely after suffering extensive damage from the March 3 tornado. There is no timetable for Shelby to reopen. Here are the pro tocols in place at Jim Fyke

Metro Parks courses: • The reopening of clubhouses ends the complimentary “walk on” status and initiates the regular fee-based golf. • All staff and customers must wear face coverings in clubhouses • An employee will be at the door to allow only one customer at a time in the clubhouse to pay/check-in • Cups will be upside down in the hole so that golfers won’t have to reach in to get retrieve their ball • Customers will be asked to not touch flagsticks • Hours of operations will be reduced to ensure enough staff to moni tor and enforce the protocols to maintain a safe environment for

customers and employees • No riding carts, pull carts, or rental clubs will be rented • No rakes in bunkers, no water coolers or ball washers placed on course Single-rider carts were allowed starting June 1, and Metro Parks officials will continue to adjust operating procedures as we move through the phases in the mayor’s plan. The movement through these phases are data driven, not date driven, therefore we can’t project if and when we will move forward to others phases at this time. We are excited to be open again, and are hoping to get closer to normal as the season progresses. While we are still trying to determine the best way to navigate through this process, we hope to be able to put out more information regarding the James H. Fyke Municipal Amateur Championships and other events sometime in early June. We look forward to seeing everyone at our courses again. We hope to see you all soon!

With the recent tornados and It really was a great way to open the day as golfers around the state had an opportunity to get back out and play some golf. Things have changed somewhat, but the hope of getting out and playing has not changed with our guests on the Tennessee Golf Trail. Thanks to all for keeping us busy and supporting the TGT and the game itself as we work through some challenging times. As you come to visit us on the Trail, be aware that we have a few guidelines and they may not all be the same at different courses. We hope to be fully open with some CDC requirements still in place by the middle of June. “Business unusual,” as a friend of mine says, is the order of the day, and we can all the best putting surfaces in the state, and I hope all of you get to experience that very soon. I am certainly prejudiced in my thinking but when I see all of the notes and emails we have received regarding the condition of some of our greens, it does tend to make me a bit proud of our folks in the field and of the hard work they do to make your experience on the TGT a good one.

But we are open for business at all of our golf courses. Please visit Tngolftrail.net for more information as we transition back to our on-line tee times. If you have any problems, please call the course you want to visit to book a tee time. For me, I think this will bring on a bit more travel over the near term but I do love to see our courses as much as pos- sible, and right now to admire the greens complexes at our courses. We have some of the current pandemic affecting all of our lives, we feel very fortunate that we have some of the opportu- nities to get out and enjoy Mother

Life slowly returning to normal at The Legacy

Kevin Holler, general manager at The Legacy, is glad to see golf returning to a sense of normalcy. After all, it’s been awhile since anything in the golf business has seemed normal since early March when the coronavirus pandemic shut down virtually everything. Slowly, though, things are return - ing to business as usual. The Leg- acy isn’t there yet, but it’s getting there. And that’s good news for Holler, his staff and the club’s pa- trons. Holler hopes that July brings a re- turn to the club’s Men’s Golf Asso- ciation tournaments. The Robertson County Junior Golf Association clinics are back, with limited availability remaining for the third session scheduled for

June 15-17. The program is free and is an excellent introduction to the game for beginners and intermediate players. Each session is 90 min - utes, with three sessions per day. Each session is restricted to eight players. Call the golf shop at 615- 384-4653 to register. Of course, after playing or par- ticipating in one of the junior ses- sions, golfers will need to fuel up, and they can do it at the Legacy’s Grill. The grill is now open at 50-percent capacity and is offer- ing a full menu. Holler said everybody – staff, members, the associations and recreational golfers – are eager to return to their regular golf rou- tine.

In My Hand I Hold A Ball, White And Dimpled, And Rather Small.. Oh, How Bland It Does Appear, This Harmless Looking Little Sphere.

By Its Size I Could Not Guess The Awesome Strength It Does Possess. But Since I Fell Beneath Its Spell, I’ve Wandered Through The Fires Of Hell.

My Life Has Not Been Quite The Same Since I Chose To Play This Stupid Game. It Rules My Mind For Hours On End; A Fortune It Has Made Me Spend.

It Has Made Me Curse And Made Me Cry, And Hate Myself And Want To Die. It Promises Me A Thing Called Par, If I Hit It Straight And Far.

To Master Such A Tiny Ball, Should Not Be Very Hard At All. But My Desires The Ball Refuses,

And Does Exactly As It Chooses.

It Hooks And Slices, Dribbles And Dies, And Disappears Before My Eyes. Often It Will Have A Whim, To Hit A Tree Or Take A Swim.

With Miles Of Grass On Which To Land, It Finds A Tiny Patch Of Sand. Then Has Me Offering Up My Soul, If Only It Would Find The Hole.

It’s Made Me Whimper Like A Pup, And Swear That I Will Give It Up. And Take To Drink To Ease My Sorrow, But The Ball Knows .... I’ll Be Back Tomorrow.

Stand proud you noble swingers of clubs And losers of GOLF balls!

A recent study found that the average golfer walks about 900 miles a year.

Another study found that golfers drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.

This means that, on average, golfers get about 41 miles to the gallon!

Kind of makes you proud. Almost makes you feel like a hybrid..........

clothes. Turns out, that skirt was the inspiration for one of the pieces in her inaugural Teleri Athletics collection. About halfway through her college career, Hughes often found herself up late at night, sketching ideas and surfing the internet for how to start a clothing line. “As I got older, I had more and more trouble finding

same thing from my friends, too.” “I would see a skort and be like, ‘Okay, I like this, but where’s the pockets’? Or a skort would have pockets but I couldn’t fit my yardage book in it. Pockets, moisturewicking fabric, easy to wear … I want to modernize the basics and improve what is offered to girls and women in the sport.” After graduation, she immersed herself in the business aspects of it in her drive to create the perfect golf skort. She went to trade shows and met with textile mills and manufacturers. She en- listed the help of Knoxville-based techni- cal designer Melissa Balmer, who took Hughes’ sketches and ideas and turned them into a working blue print for manu- facturers. And that was only half the battle. Hughes estimates that after she had the designs finished, she went back and forth with her manufacturers for a year and a half trying to get the samples to her liking. “They would send me back a complete skirt and I would see how I could golf in it. I let my friends try it on,” she recalled. “The sample process took me longer because I was so nitpicky and I wanted it to be perfect. I just wasn’t willing to accept anything but the best.” In the first collection from Teleri Athlet- ics, three of the four skort designs have five pockets. The skorts weren’t just tested by Teleri’s friends – they were named after them. There is the Haley Skort, the Blakesly Skort, the Hanley Skort and the Anna Skort. “I wanted to name them after people who have had a huge impact on my life,” Hughes

Hughes has ambitious long-term goals for her company. “I want to become a face for women and girls in golf,” she said. “I want it to be the go-to skort in their wardrobe and for the Teleri Athletics brand to be synonymous with golf fashion.” Above all else, Teleri wants her brand to be representative of an effort to spread positivity and encouragement to fellow girls and women.

Teleri Athletics is the perfect brand for every female golfer because it is both stylish and functional. It’s rare to find a designer who truly understands what the female golfer needs in a skort. Teleri has competed at the highest levels in junior and collegiate golf, and she has become an expert on women’s golf clothing from personal experience as well as extensively talking to her teammates and playing competitors. The bright colors, flattering designs, and plethora of pockets are just a few of the things that make a Teleri Athletics skort unique. I can’t say enough great things about this brand, and I could not be more honored to have my name on a Teleri Athletics skort!

- Blakesly (Warren) Brock

Teleri Athletics is amazing for all women golfers because it was specifically designed with their needs in mind. Teleri is so good at what she does and always puts 110% of her effort into everything she does, including these skorts.

Sometimes it is so difficult to find comfortable and functional golf clothes that are still stylish. I absolutely love my Teleri Athletics skort because it is all that and more. It’s a quality skort, with multiple pockets, and still very comfortable to play in. There’s not much more you can ask for!

- Haley Wagner

Teleri Athletics makes you feel beautiful, athletic and powerful. Being confident in your own skin and in the clothes you wear is one of the many reasons Teleri’s skirts are my go-to out on the golf course! The Anna skort is fierce and comfy, the best of both worlds. I know I’m ready to slay the day when I have that skort on!

The skorts by Teleri Athletics are exactly what the women’s golf industry needed! It has always been a struggle to find skorts that are functional, fashionable, and sporty. Teleri has encompassed all of those things in her line! She has taken the basics of women’s golf attire and modernized them. Having a fashion line created by a women’s golfer for women’s golfers is the missing piece this industry needed. They give me the confidence and comfort to succeed on the golf course!
