Jon Johnson A young female golfer with Dothan family ties – 9-year-old Larissa Wheelless – will be competing in the Drive, Chip & Putt National finals at the famed Augusta National golf course to be televised nationally by the Golf Channel on Sunday beginning at 8 a.m. .
“We lived near a golf course and just took her there one day to an after-school program,” Hayes said. “We started the lessons right away because I wasn’t a golfer. There are four divisions for each gender . The scoring will award 10 points for the player with the best drive, closest cumulative chips and closest putts. Each player gets two tries in each category.
“My strongest was my chipping because the first shot I made it in the hole and the other two shots were right by the hole,” Larissa said of the regional. “I got first in the drive and the chip and the putt.”“She plays a lot of golf already, so we’re just sticking to the program,” Hayes said. “It’s a special deal, but we’re not trying to over-focus on any one thing.
“She loves to wakeboard and water ski, so we do other things,” Hayes said. “We’re not a golf only family, but golf is definitely the dominant factor.”
