Sure, here’s a rewrite with a more informal and human-like touch:

Alright, picture this. We’re at Washtenaw Golf Club, and it’s one of those places where the grass just smells right and everything feels kind of… cozy? Yeah, that’s it. So, Alena Li — she’s from Okemos — is there, probably looking all calm and collected. But honestly, who even knows? Golf can be a weird game. Sometimes you’re on fire, other times it’s like the holes shrink.
Anyway, Saturday was a bit of a mess for her with those pesky greens. I mean, three-putts, really? It’s like they had a mind of their own. But flash forward to Sunday, and voilà, she’s got them figured out. She finishes with a 2-over 74, totalling 153. Not too shabby, huh?
Now, Alena’s all modest about it, saying it’s an honor and all. And maybe it really is — or she’s just humble. But she nailed those putts like a pro. Something about finding the right speed. Like, is there a class for that? She could’ve fooled me.
Her win wasn’t a walk in the park, though. She had Lillian O’Grady, who’s from Grand Rapids, breathing down her neck. Lillian was leading initially with a 74 but then had a rough Sunday, finishing with 82. Ouch. But the competition keeps you sharp, I guess.
Oh! And don’t miss this — Cameron Baker, just 14 years old, nails a 73 for the under-15 division. No big deal, right? Totally casual. It’s like a sweet coming-of-age scene where she sinks a 30-footer on 18. You’d expect something from a sports movie.
The whole thing’s part of a relatively new tradition. This GAM Girls’ Championship started to sort of balance out the school season stuff. Less of a headache for everyone involved, but more golf — so that’s cool.
Alena’s off to the University of Michigan soon — computer science, if you’re curious. Probably juggling algorithms and holes-in-one. She’s got a summer of golf planned, naturally. Can’t keep her away from the course, it seems.
Well, that’s sort of the scoop. The GAM Boys’ Championship will rock Washtenaw in July if that’s more your scene. Check out GAM.org or the Golf Genius App for results if you’re really into the nitty-gritty details.
Catch you later — or maybe sooner if golf starts calling your name.

And there you have it. Feels more like a conversation, right?
