First Major!
Hello everyone!
First I want to thank everyone again for all of your comments and nice notes and emails. I really appreciate all of your support and cannot tell you how nice it is to have all of you in my corner.
This week has been so exciting! My first major championship. I am in Palm Springs, California where it is not suppossed to rain but if you have noticed the rain and wind follow the LPGA Tour. It has warmed up and it looks like it is going to be a beautiful week.
I got here on Sunday night and played a practice round on Monday morning. The rough is so thick that you can barely see your ball. The course is in good shape and the greens are rolling good so it should be a good week. On Tuesday, I was paired in the pro-am with Ben Rothesberger, the quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was really nice and his girlfriend who is an actress rode around with us too. She was the lead in the movie Stick It and is also on the television show Heroes. He also had his 2 bodyguards and his agent with him. We had a lot of people following us but it was a fun day.
I played 9 holes this morning at 6:45 am. We call that the E-9, which stands for emergency 9. Got a really good practice in and was able to work around the greens and chip and putt a lot. I play tomorrow and Friday with Julieta Granada who I played with last week in Phoenix. It should be a nice day.
The tournament will be on ESPN this week so everyone can watch and of course follow on www.lpga.com. I am looking forward to having a great week! I hope I will be jumping in the water next to 18 green this week. The only thing is they better have swimmies or a life preserver since i don’t really swim too well!
Hope all is well and thanks again for all of your support this season!

The water off 18 is 4 feet deep, if you get in trouble just stand up and please don’t dive in head first. Remember to bring a hair dryer because it will be diffilcult to keep Herbie’s hair dry if me makes the plunge with you. I hope it rains for you this week….a downpour of pars, birdies, and eagles.

Thats ok if you can’t swim that well its probably shallow any way. Think of all those doggie paddles you did at the beach in 3 inches of water. Hope you knock `em all in, just one putt every green. Nice going today Meaghan, hopefully I’ll be there for a few trny’s with your mom, since she doesn’t drive over bridges, she is getting better though! Best of Luck.

Hey Meaghan,
I finally realized that I can reach you at this website after I tried your Blackbery several times after you beat Annika. Yes, Annika!! All I can say is you rock. It is a thrill for all of us watching, to see you do so well. I was in Phoenix when you played and tried to get to see you, however, the resort (in Chanler) in which I was staying, a 44 mph windstorm. The thought croused my mind early on Sunday morning to fly down to Palm Springs. It’s not beyond me to do something like that! And of course, I watched you this weekend; boy, on Sunday it was really anybodies games at one point. Keep on staying focused and in the game. You’ve got what it takes to be on top. What a thrill!!
XOXO,
Cousin Lisa
