Life on the LPGA Tour

Aloha!

Well not the best start to the LPGA season but definitely learned a lot this week. It was an eye opening experience and I am confident I will be better prepared for next week at the Fields Open at the Ko Olina Golf Club. It is a long season and I know that I will be successful in the next event.

The wind blew like crazy on Friday afternoon in the second round. I shot 74 but played much better than the score I shot. It turns out if I would have shot even par I would have been playing in the final round today. I was extremely discouraged but I know what I need to work on for the tournament next week. There is only one thing I need to work on and that is being confident. I went out and watched Hall of Famer Juli Inkster for 9 holes today to see if I could learn a few things. I learned that she is confident no matter how she is playing. Whether it be leading the tournament or making the cut on the number she is confident and committed to each and every shot or putt she hits. That is the difference between a veteran and a first year tour member. Therefore, that is my goal for next tournament. If i can be a little more confident I think you will be seeing a lot of my name at the top of the leaderboard.

I am headed to Ko Olina for the next event which is about an hour away from Turtle Bay tomorrow morning. I plan on playing 9 holes tomorrow afternoon and then playing 18 holes on Monday afternoon.

Thank you for all the responses and emails I have gotten this week. It is really comforting to know I have the support of so many people at home! Although this lifestyle make look glamorous, I am learning that I am going to be spending a lot of time by myself. Thanks so much for all of your support! I will let you know how things are going at the Fields Open in the beginning of the week.

Mahalo (thank you in Hawaii)
