Sunny Florida

Hey everybody from sunny Orlando! I have stayed in Orlando since the Florida Women’s Open. I shot 74 the final day, but did not win any money. I felt many improvements from the 2nd round and it was good to have another tournament round after the off-season. Thursday I was able to get into the RIFE putting studio and work out a few issues with my putting, always a good thing! Thursday I was also able to enjoy a few non-golf activities including visit one of my aunts who lives in Orlando and trying on a bridesmaid dress for a friend’s upcoming wedding.
The Florida weather has been quite conducive for great practice and swimming in the pool of my friend’s house where I have been staying! I played a practice rd at the course in Winter Haven yesterday with a few Futures Tour players. I will be heading to Winter Haven tomorrow to start practicing there and staying there with a host family! The tournament starts on Friday!!

2009 Season Underway

Hello All! I have begun my 2009 season! It started yesterday with my first round at the Florida Women's Open in Orlando, FL. I started well with birdies on the first 2 holes! The second hole I chipped in with my pitching wedge from a few yards off the front of the green. I ended the round with an even par round of 72.
Today did not go as well and I shot a 5-over par round of 77. With a 2-day total of 149 I missed the 2 day cut by 1 stroke! Not exactly the way I wanted to start my 2009 season, but I learned a lot and tomorrow I get to play in a consolation event for a small purse. This is good to be able to get another tournament round under my belt for the season.
