Arkansas/NO Arkansas

What a crazy week this was. I played in the Monday qualifier and was paired with Sophia Sheridan, the "Queen of Qualifiers". I believe she has Monday qualified into 7 events this year. Wow!!! We both played good, 15 birdies between the two of us. Sophia made 8 birdies and I made 7. We definitely would have won any best ball contest. Sophia finished at 66 and I finished with 70. I thought that might be good enough, but once again someone in the last group, Louis Stahle, came in with a 69. The good news is that Louis was in front of me on the alternate list so that moves me to first alternate. Most of the time, first alternate will get in so I feel confident about playing. Monday goes by, Tuesday goes by, Wednesday goes by. First round is Friday, but everybody is here and has registered. Its not looking so good!!! Finally Thursday afternoon Mi Hyun Kim unexpectedly withdraws. Cool!!! I'm in and because I am taking a top players spot, I even get A pairings. I am paired with Laura Diaz (Solheim Cup player) and another top Korean player. Usually when I am paired with top players, my game rises for the occasion. This week, the opposite happened. I had trouble focusing. Could not find my game at all. 3 bogeys and a double, 77. Not a happy camper. But after a few hours of practice, I'm ready to take it low in the second round.

Rain, Rain, Rain ... no second round, no third round. Tournament cancelled. Can you believe it? The course was just too wet to play and the Solheim Cup players needed to get to Sweden. It didn't rain a drop on Sunday, but the decision was made. No tournament.

I have been playing so much better the last 3 months so these past two weeks have been disappointing. But that is golf. A few days rest and some playtime with my Niece and Nephew will cure any slice. I will also get a chance to see my golf coach and get my irons straightened out (they are 3 degrees flat - not good for someone who is 5'8" and has wedges that are standard lie). Next event is Alabama and I'm not in the field yet. Looks promising though. Ill practice like I am playing and whatever happens, happens.

Disappointing day in Springfield

Hi Everybody!!! Finally get into a LPGA event and I did not take advantage of the opportunity. Shot 72 the first round which was in the top fifty after the first day. Good Start. The second round, nothing went right. I was so worried about how firm the course I forgot to just play. Not to mention I did not make one putt, and my chipping was a bit suspect. The scores went even lower the second day and the cut was even par. Wow.

At least it was a good warm up for next week in Arkansas. It looks like Ill be in the field. In the meantime, I will work on my chips, try to get some feel back in my swing, and change putters. Also, Ill try to remember all the good shots I did hit, and remember the putts I did make.

Thank you to all my dedicated fans who came out to watch me play!!! I appreciate your support!!!! See you again soon!!
