Mia “Cheetah” Baeze and Coach Gabbie Budd, LPGA, attended the local Drive, Chip & Putt qualifier at PGA Golf Village where Mia won big! With a total score of 93, Mia was the big winner of the day, and she will advance onto the subregional qualifiers on August 19th at BallenIsles Country Club.
Mia started off the competition with three drives that were picturesque. She hit 2 of her 3 drives 140+ yards! This gave her a high score going into the next round. At the chipping stage, she persevered after her first shot, and she scored a total of 12 points! Finally, at putting, Mia put on a show for the crowd. Her short putt barely lipped out of the hole. Then keeping a level head, she moved onto the medium putt, where she just barely missed again, but stayed within the circle to score 20 points. Then, finally on her last shot of the competition, the long putt, Mia the Cheetah sunk it! 25 points for her grand total of 93 points.
