LPGA monday qualifier in Arkansas

This week I will spend in Arkansas, either playing in the LPGA tournament or not. We all know my status on the LPGA stinks so I probably wont get in any more events this year unless I try to Monday qualify.

I picked Arkansas to try for lots of reasons: 1. love the course 2. no Duramed Futures Tour event 3. have not seen Jody (my boyfriend) in 5 weeks

So after my wonderful showing in Hammond, I flew to Arkansas to Monday qualify. No practice round, small warm up, and off we go. Jody is caddying for me. In the first fairway I walk up to my ball and suddenly realize that I don't have to get the yardage and think about the course and what I have to do. My brain can actually relax. What a relief, all I have to do it hit the shot. Soo much easier to play golf this way. Jody says, 95 yards, aim right at it. I pick my club, whack, 5 feet. I read my putt, and it went it in. Love it. Next hole, Jody gives me a good target, I hit it there. Walk up to the ball, Jody does all the figuring, hit it 200 yards at that pine tree. Easy game. A good caddy makes all the difference in the world. It lets the player just hit shots. Any way, I shot even par, 72. 70, 71 qualified.

Ill spend the week here in Arkansas with Jody. While he caddies for Kim Hall Ill be practicing, playing another course, testing equipment, re grip clubs, check lies and lofts. We are so spoiled out here on the LPGA. Really makes me want to get my status back. There are still a bunch of Duramed Futures Tour events left. I will finish strong!!
