A recent victory is sending Joe Carter, an 11-year-old Gainesville boy, to the U.S. Kids Golf World Championship in Southern Pines, N.C., later this summer. Carter earned a dramatic triumph in the Boys 11 division of the U.S. Kids Golf Georgia State Invitational earlier this month at Orchard Hills Golf Club in Newnan, edging Wills Kelly of Camden, S.C., in a playoff. Both players finished with a two-day score of 18-over 162, one shot ahead of Dawsonville’s Andrew Hughes and Deven Patel of Locust Grove.
