I have a few big events to report on from the last few weeks! First off yesterday I completed my first half marathon! I completed the Myrtle Beach Half Marathon (13.1 miles) in 2:12:08. I ran the entire distance, something I did not think I would be able to do! It felt great crossing the finish line and knowing I had done it!
The last week of January I went to Florida for the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando. On my way down to Orlando I stopped in St. Simmons and got in 9 holes with one of my hosts from Gettysburg. It was fun to see a new place and catch up with them! Wednesday through Saturday was a whirlwind of events as a rep for Sweet Lies Golf. The show takes up the entire West Hall of the Orange County Convention Center. Working with Sweet Lies helped me see a new side of the golf industry and how important the PGA show is in growing their line. The number of vendors and size of some of the booths were unreal. Walking from one end to the other was not an easy feat.
I have added a new event to my 2009 schedule- the Florida Women’s Open in Orlando, FL March 9-11. Many Futures Tour players participate in the event and it is a good way to gear up for the first event March 20-22 in Winter Haven!
