Hawaii

Aloha. The 2009 season has officially kicked off. I went to Hawaii for the first event of the year to do the Monday Qualifier. I knew I wouldn’t get into the event off my number. It wound up being well worth the trip. I played great on Monday and qualified!! So I’m in the first event for the year. It wound up being just like a normal tournament week. Practice round on Tuesday and pro-am on Wednesday. The only difference was I played in a pro-am off site. The pro-am was to benefit the families of our armed forces. It was an absolutly amazing day. The 5 guys that I played with couldn’t have been any more fun!! We laughed our way around for 18 holes and even through the entire luncheon. All the LPGA players who participated really were treated first class and couldn’t have asked for a better day. It was truly our pleasure to give back and do something for so many people who defend this amazing country that we live in!!!! The tournament was Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Unfortunately I only got to play on Thursday and Friday, but it was still a great week. One of my pro-am partners came out with his wife and son and followed for 2 days, so that was special. I learned a lot and had an amazing time and I’m looking forward to fixing what went wrong and having a successful year!!!
