Moore Wins SCGA Junior Amateur Golf

Local Isle of Palms young man wins the South Carolina Golf Association Junior Amateur Golf tournament.

Caulder Moore, son of Polly and Richard Moore of the Isle of Palms, shot an unbelievable 63 on the last day of the tournament to move from 5 shots behind the leader to 2 shots ahead of the leader.

To say that Caulder Moore had a great day in an understatement.  Everyone is in awe of the day that Caulder had.

Caulder is a rising senior of Wando High School in Mt. Pleasant and plays on the Wando golf team.  He has committed to University of South Carolina to play on their golf team.

The tournament was played at Bulls Bay Golf Club in Awendaw.  Caulder has won quite a few golf tournaments in his short life, but this was a real thrill --- to win at home.

Also with this win came the treat as riding on the Club's mascot, Titleist, a 1400 pound Scottiosdh Highland bull. Caulder said "I'm really looking forward to it" but later added that the thought of climbing on the back of the bull was "a little scary".

Jackson Moore (Caulder's brother) came in 9th in the 13-14 age group. I'm particularly proud of Caulder and Jackson because I have watched them grow up -- you see, they are my grand-nephews. 

You golfers out there, just remember these names --- Caulder Moore and Jackson Moore ----- you will hearing more from these talented young men.
