Q-school, TOC, Duramed Futures Tour

Its been 6 weeks since Ive had anything to say. Well, Ive probably had a lot to say but just didn't get around to it. So here it is

After the Narcolepsy Conference I did a lot of practicing in preparation for the LPGA Fall Classic (Q-school). This is the final qualifying for the LPGA tour. Apparently I practiced so much I developed TOS, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. Nerve and blood vessels were compressed in my shoulder, collar bone area reducing blood flow, causing my arm and hand to fall asleep and sometimes feel weird pain. Caroline and John at Physiotherapy Associates (LPGA sponsor) knew exactly what my problem was, later confirmed by a Doc. One therapy session and I had a new arm. I received therapy the entire week at q-school, two times a day. Spoiled we are on the LPGA. Physiotherapy is always on site, and they are the best Physical Therapists.

I shot 74,71,74,74,75 at Q-school. Good enough to make the cut after four days. Not good enough to improve my LPGA status. I will be playing a full season on Duramed Futures Tour in 2008. Top 5 players get exempt status on the LPGA for the following year. I have my eye on one of those spots. Ill probably get in a few LPGA events on my status, but I will concentrate on the Futures Tour. I am really looking forward to 2008. Since Ill be one of the best players, the Futures Tour will be great for my confidence and that is probably just what I need.

Right now I am enjoying some time with my family in Chicago and continuing Physical Therapy. After Christmas, I will be playing in a tournament in Orlando. Winner gets to play in the Ginn Reunion tournament in March. Jody, my boyfriend, will be on the bag. We are really looking forward to that trip.
