Welcome to 2009
Hello everyone and welcome to 2009!!! I am really excited to get the year started! To ring in the new year I went to Charlotte and celebrated with a lot of friends. What a fun way to bring in 09!!! During the middle of January I took a trip down to Orlando to visit with a good friend who is no longer going to be playing on tour. Annie Young took the head women’s coaching job at Oklahoma State University and while I will miss her out on tour, I wish her and her husband, Caleb, the best of luck in their new venture.
After visiting with her I played in a pro-am in Mt. Dora, FL. There were a lot of Duramed Futures Tour gals there, so it was fun to hang out for a couple days. The next week I spent down in Palm Beach Gardens with some other great friends. The game that I play for a living gives me an opportunity to meet so many wonderful people and be able to go pretty much anywhere and visit with them. It’s so much fun and I really love what I do. Staying down in south Florida we practiced and played a few times and I was getting ready for my first event of the year.
Last week I played in the Suncoast Ladies Tournament at Rio Pinar Country Club. The first day I played very solid. I shot even par, but was 2 over on my last 3 holes….oops. Day 2 rolls around and things were going good again, until I hit the last 3 holes, and oops, I was 2 over again, so wound up shooting 1 under for the day. I was tied for 5th. I was ready to go low in the final round and things were finally going my way, I was playing great and was 3 under going into 11. THEN, the rain came. It literally came down in 5 minutes and EVERYTHING was flooded…..so, we got called off the course and sat for about an hour and a half hoping to go back out. It wound up being impossible for us to finish so they washed the final round and called it at a 36 hole event. Of course I was bummed because I was playing well, but I figure I’m sure that it will all come around and even out. I took a lot of positive things from the week and am working hard on my game this week. I am back at home in Greenville for the week before I leave to go to Hawaii. I’m going to go Monday quaify so everyone keep me in your thoughts on Monday!!!! Hope 09 is going great!! Thanks for sharing this journey with me. Keep checking back, hopefully I’ll have some more great news to write about :)
