HILLSBOROUGH _ Christina Parsells didn't think about Alice Chen's recent dominance of girls and women's golf in New Jersey when she was paired with her for the second and final round of the NJSGA Junior Girls Championship.
Parsells, of Bernardsville, certainly was aware of Chen's accomplishments yet kept them out of her head, telling herself "to take it one shot at a time and hit the fairways, hit the greens, make the putts."
PARSIPPANY _ A bogey on the 17th hole, the result of a missed putt, irked Alice Chen.
Chen was in a tight battle with Noelle Maertz and the bogey, only one of two in her ultra steady round at the Knoll West Country Club on Tuesday, July 1, left her one stroke behind Maertz, the 2012 NJSGA Women's Public Links Champion.
FLORHAM PARK _ Wendy Ferrara not only bears the weight of Taryn Anderson's golf bag as a caddy, she knows - and has witnessed - the progression of her game from the beginning.
Ferrara and the 19-year-old Anderson, a Branchville resident, traversed the the course at Brooklake Country Club for three days this week while Anderson competed in the 88th New Jersey State Golf Association Women's Amateur Championship.
