Cybersquatter Halts Charity Efforts Of Teen Golfer

You may never see a prettier golf swing from a 12-year-old.

As Dakoda Dowd competes in youth golf tournaments her mother Kelly Jo, who has breast cancer, is never far from her mind.

Dakoda Dowd, Golfer:
"My Mom and my family are ten times more important than golf."

Kelly Jo Dowd, Dakoda’s Mother:
"She's keeping me alive. She's giving me strength. She's giving me hope."

Dakoda's been given a sponsor's exemption to compete in a women's pro tournament next year in Orlando, so her mother could see her play with some of the world's top golfers.

Tournament organizers encouraged the Dowds to tell their story through the website, "DakodaDowd.com."

But they found the site taken by local businessman Shawn Jackman, who reportedly told the Dowds they could have it for $5,000.

Dakoda's family says she is the victim of cybersquatting -- that's sitting on the domain name on the internet of a business or person before it becomes famous.

Mike Dowd, Dakoda’s Father:
"He needs a lot of prayer, he's got something hurting in his life, I feel sorry for him. So we're just going to focus on the positives that are happening."

Jackman did not return our phone calls.
But his actions don't seem to bother Dakoda.

Dakoda Dowd, Golfer:
"I don't really want my own website, so I don't care. I don't think I deserve my own website."

Someday, Dakoda Dowd's golf game may rate her a website.

Her family is considering another domain name, so she can raise cancer awareness, through the game she loves.
