  Dakoda (Koda) Dowd is not your average 12 year old when it comes to golf. Dowd has won 185 junior trophies, and is the nation's top-ranked golfer in the graduating class of 2011. As a sixth-grader she was the No.2 golfer on the team at Northside Christian High. Dakoda finished in second place at last year's Florida Class A high school regional tournament, and if you have not guessed yet Dakoda (Koda) Dowd shoots in the low 70s. Look for Dakoda to be beating up on her competition for years to come.

Dakoda (Koda) Dowd is not your average 12 year old when dealing with life. A fight with breast cancer that Kelly Jo Dowd, Dakoda's mother believed she had won recently became active again.This time the disease was metastatic in Kelly Jo's organs and bones. Kelly Jo Dowd, 40, is a one-time Hooters swimsuit model who made herself the only woman to climb the restaurant chain's corporate ladder from waitress, to manager, and to general manager, operating the Palm Harbor store on North U.S. 19 from 2002 until she had to resign this year.

Dakoda is not only mature on the course, but off as well. When her mom first became sick Dakoda (Koda) left elementary school, and is now being home-schooled. This allows Dakoda to be closer to her mother and be able to help when needed. Kelly Jo's closeness with Dakoda has enabled her to deal with cancer and grow from it.

Dakoda (Koda) Dowd received a sponsor's exemption to the April 27-30 Ginn Clubs & Resorts Open near Orlando. Dakoda hoped to play on the Ladies Professional Golf Association tour some day, and now she will have that chance. We are all hoping for Kelly Jo to see Dakoda's first birdie in a LPGA event.

Cancer comes in many forms and all cancer needs research for cures and prevention. This page will list links to other pages of cancer related information for the purpose of cancer awareness and ways to contribute to different cancer societies.
