In her first year of playing competitively, the 13-year-old local resident has finished fourth at the provincial bantam (under-13) girls championships, held her own at the Ontario junior/juvenile (under- 18) tournament and earned a spot in this weeks Ontario Summer Games in Sudbury. Haynes said playing in tourna- ments has been a big adjustment from playing recreationally with 15-year-old sister Alanna, particu- larly psychologically. Theres a lot more pressure. You might get paired with a scratch golfer whos always on the green and always hits her drives down the middle and 50 yards further than yours, Annika said. You have to try and not think about them and just play your game. That worked for Haynes at the recent ban- tam provincials in Cambridge, where she fired rounds of 81 and 84 to finish three strokes out of third, 11 shots behind tournament champi- on Claire Hernandez of Toronto. I was just playing well both of the days. I never fell apart, said Haynes, a 9-handicap who was aiming for a top-10 finish at the tour- nament. I maybe got in trouble once or twice, but it was all working. Earlier in July, Haynes finished 52nd at the junior/juvenile provincials, the first major tournament she competed in. She carded scores of 87, 89 and 92 at the tournament. By being the 26th-best junior (under-16) player at the competition, Haynes qualified for the Ontario Summer Games. This is the first year that the Ontario Summer Games will include golf, following the lead of the Olympic Summer Games that will feature the sport for the first time in 2016. Im not expecting to place top 10 or anything, said Haynes, who will attend Iroquois Ridge High School in the fall. I just want to play my game and do well in tour- nament golf because its my first year. Haynes began taking golf les- sons three years ago. She first noticed a dramatic improvement in her game last year, and has continued this season by cut- ting her handicap in half. Haynes hopes to eventually secure a golf scholarship. Her older sister is confident shell get it. Shes really driven, said Alanna, a 12- handicap who is targeting a scholarship of her own. Shes not one to just stop after 18 holes. Once we finish our round, she goes back on the range and continues chipping and putting and practicing her irons. Ill say Annika, you just shot an 82, thats good, and shell say no, my putting wasnt good enough. When your little sister starts beating you by 10 strokes, that wasnt easy, Alanna added. But... shes better. Jessica Shepley will be back at Burlington Golf & Country Club next week, hoping to repeat as Canadian PGA Womens champion. The Iroquois Ridge grad, who confirmed her entry into this years Canadian PGA Womens Championship Monday, is excited about the opportuni- ty to defend her title. Winning this national championship last year was absolutely huge for me, said Shepley, who earned another trip to the LPGAs CN Canadian Womens Open by virtue of her victory last year. This event seems to get bigger and better every year and I hope to add my name to the trophy again next week. Shepleys win last year at the Burlington club was her first as a professional. She birdied the final hole of the tournament to win by a single shot over Clarissa Childs of Columbia, S.C., carding scores of 66 and 69. Shepley seems to have rode the momentum of last years victory into this season. She stormed out of the gate with a win at the first CN Canadian Womens Tour event at Quilchena Golf & Country Club in Richmond, B.C., and followed that up with a second- place finish at the final CN Canadian Womens Tour stop in Gatineau, Que. Those two finishes alone put Shepley on top of the tours order of merit with $20,000 and locked up the Jocelyn Bourassa Player of the Year award. Jessica Shepley was a fantastic champion for us last year and we are thrilled to have her back in 2010 to defend her title, said Glenn Cundari, pres- ident of the Canadian PGA. We expect another exciting finish in 2010 at Burlington Golf & Country Club and we look forward to crowning another national champion. Shepley currently holds conditional status on the LPGA Tour and fully exempt status on the Duramed Futures Tour. She currently sits in 30th place on the Duramed Futures Tour money list, having missed only one cut in 13 events. Her best finish came at The International at Concord event, where she finished tied for fifth. The event gets underway on Monday, Aug. 16 with the Simmlands Insurance Pro-Am, followed by championship play on Tuesday, Aug. 17 and Wednesday, Aug. 18 with 18 holes of stroke play each day. The Canadian PGA Womens Championship, presented by NIKE Golf, is free for spectators to attend.

Shes not one to just stop after 18 holes. n Alanna Haynes, talking about her sister Annika EARLY SUCCESS: Annika Haynes has posted some promising results in her first year of com- peting in golf tournaments.
