Golfer Rheagan HallRheagan Hall’s day at Augusta National Golf Club began with a drive down Magnolia Lane and with Lou Holtz – wearing his green jacket – opened her van door in front of the clubhouse.
It ended with a five-minute talk from Gary Player.
In between are moments that the eighth-grade golfer at Cleveland Middle School will never forget including a sixth-place finish in her division of the inaugural Drive, Chip and Putt national finals.
“This will never happen again in my life,” Hall said over the phone on Sunday. “Years from now I can say, ‘I was in the first one.'”
Hall’s experience supersedes her finish through the sheer experience of practicing and playing on the famous grounds and alongside world-famous golfers.
