Hello, National Golf Club!
If you haven’t already heard the exciting news, NGC’s Bailey Davis has QUALIFIED FOR THE U.S. OPEN! Not only did Bailey qualify, she shot rounds of 70 and 71 for a total of -3 under par to be the Medalist at the Bellehaven U.S. OPEN qualifying site. The field included 12 professionals and a list of accomplished amateurs from around the world.
Bailey is a long time member and part of the NGC family. I’m sure over the past several years you have seen her working with Terry Schaffer or practicing alongside her dad, Morris. Bailey has too many accomplishments and wins to mention but a few include: three-time Maryland High School State Champion including being the lone player in Maryland to win each of the county, regional, and state championships in all three years of competition (would have been four-time if covid hadn’t canceled 2020), #1 ranked player in the state of Maryland, 2020 girls Maryland State Amateur Champion, finalist and runner-up in the 2021 U.S. Junior Girls Championship.
I had the pleasure of speaking with Bailey’s father, Morris. He was very excited for Bailey and mentioned that yesterday’s 36 holes was the best he has ever seen her play and manage her game. I inquired about the legality of us helping out financially and Morris gave me the approval to start a collection for Bailey to help out with last minute travel and accomodations. It is allowed by all the governing bodies for us to contribute. Anything and everything helps! We will be collecting via Venmo (preferred) and also taking cash donations in the Pro Shop.
