Fourth-grader hits hole-in-one
If Mason Reynolds decides he needs a
lucky number, nine would be a good choice.
Reynolds, who is 9 and attends Ellisville
Elementary, scored a hole-in-one recently
at Forest Hills Country Club in Clarkson
Valley. The ace came on the par 3 No. 3
hole. It was set up at 109 yards and Reynolds
used a 9-iron off the tee.
On the tee box, Reynolds said he thought
to himself, “I’m going to hit this on the green.”
But since the green was elevated, Reynolds
did not see the ball go into the hole or
onto the green. When he got to the green,

Mason Reynolds scored
his first hole-in-one at
Forest Hills Country Club.
he couldn’t find his ball. His scorer told
him to check the hole. Sure enough, there
was the ball.
“He actually played the rest of the round
with it,” said Jason Reynolds, Mason’s
father. “Now, he knows, if it happens again,
pocket the ball.”
Mason plays in the junior golf program
at Forest Hills as well in Junior PGA
events. He takes lessons from Forest Hills
pros Gideon Traub and Marvin Herrod.
“He loves golf and plans on playing his
whole life,” Jason said. “But he also plays
hockey, baseball, soccer, basketball and
tennis. He hit the hole-in-one six months
to the day from his grandpa’s passing. His
grandpa was a golf fanatic, so maybe he
helped from above with the ace.”

The District 10 all-star game ended in a tie.
After 10 innings of play at ABC Ballpark,
the North and South squads called it
a night. The final score was a 3-3 tie.
The South squad was led by Eureka
coach Alex Wolters. The North team had
Thoman Boothe coach David Markley as
its skipper.
The South rallied to tie the game in the
ninth inning. Ballwin Post 611’s Alex Venturella
scored the tying run.
Port wins Metropolitan Women’s
Amateur Championship
Ellen Port plans on playing more competitive
golf this summer, and she’s off to
a good start.
Port recently stepped down as the women’s
golf coach at Washington University.
Before that, she spent 32 years coaching at
John Burroughs.
In June, Port won her 16th Metropolitan
Women’s Amateur Championship at Sunset
Hills Country Club. She posted a 6-over
150 to win the tournament. That means she
brought the Jayne M. Watson Trophy back
to her home for another year – until next
year’s tournament.
“I was a little surprised I won,” Port said.
“I didn’t think I had a prayer. I’m shocked
nobody surpassed me. Winning on your
home course is always fun.”
Port was five shots behind the first-round
leader Logan Otter, who will be a redshirt
Ellen Port with the Jayne M. Watson Trophy
junior this fall at Michigan State. Otter,
who is from St. Peters, played for Port at
John Burroughs.
Port rebounded in Round 2. Despite two
double bogeys on her card, she had five
birdies en route to a 1-under 71. It was the
only sub-par round of the championship –
and it was good enough to win the event for
Port for the 16th time.
How does Port feel about winning the
championship that many times?
“Well, it means I’m old and been around
the block a while,” Port quipped. “The
Metro is always a good two-day event. I
love playing in it. It’s nice to know you can
still compete.”
Of her coaching career, Port said, “I
can’t say the ‘R’ word yet. I don’t know
if I am or not. My kids are in college. I’m
taking a little sabbatical here.”
Lafayette coach to
lead Team Missouri
Lafayette girls golf coach Katrina Clark
will lead Team Missouri in the 50th annual
Four-State Junior Girls Golf Championship.
Last year, Team Iowa won the title with
a 618 point total. Team Kansas was second
at 628. Team Nebraska finished third at
634. Team Missouri finished fourth at 657.
This year’s team members are Sarah
Bell, of Jackson; Sam Cornelius, of
Hamilton; Taryn Overstreet, of Jackson;
Olivia Sowers, of Columbia; and
Amber Wilson, of Camdenton.
Team Iowa will be on its home turf.
This year’s tournament will be played
at Coldwater Golf Links in Ames,
Iowa.
The two-day championship’s format
consists of individual stroke play each
day with the four low scores of each
team added each day and totaled after
the final round to determine the winner.
Team Missouri has won 13 total
championships with the most recent in
2015.
