Hello again everyone!
I hate to inform you that I did not make it in to the second event here in Hawaii. I played very well and was pleased with not only my ball stricking but also my attitude throughout. I shot 2-under, but was out done by a 6-under and a 4-under. Oh well, just keep plugging away!
I will be heading home now and am going to play in a mini tour event in Phoenix next week. It is called The Cactus Tour. It starts Monday and goes to Wednesday. It will be a good way to keep my skills sharp!
Then I will head out in a couple weeks to Mexico City and Monday qualify there. I know my time is coming so I am going to keep at it!
I hope you are all well and hitting it straight! And of course working hard on improving that short game—tempo, tempo, tempo…and perhaps a little visualization might help too!:)
Thank you all for your kind notes of encouragement!
Love AJ

Hi there!
I just wanted to let you all know about some new great news for me, and you!! Today, I got invited officially into the Corning Classic event, as well, the CN Canadian Women’s Open has already invited me. I am so excited and happy to be there and I hope to be playing in many more. But this is a great start! Thank you to all of you that have prayed and thought great thoughts about me getting into events this year! I need to play in atleast 10 events this year…and I know that it will happen because of me and everyone else believing it so!
Looking forward to playing in the next Monday qualifier at Ko ‘Olina. I played a practice round today and the course is in great shape! Many birdies to follow.
Take care and talk to you soon! Love AJ

Hello everyone, or shall I say, Aloha!!
I am on the island of Oahu right now as it is the start of the LPGA season. It is very nice over here at Turtle Bay…that is if you like sunshine with lots of wind! ha ha Actually it is very nice and I am enjoying finally getting to wear shorts everyday. I am working on my golfer tan lines as well!
I played in the first Monday qualifier of the year, for the SBS Open. I shot 73, one over, but missed by a few shots. There were 17 of us playing for 2 spots and a couple other girls managed a couple of 69s. I played well but just hit a few errant shots in the wind. I was pleased with myself though and enjoyed the round of golf! My friend, Danny Sharp, caddied for me and we had lots of good laughs. He caddies for Lorie Kane on a regular basis so it was very nice of him to help me out! We had a couple beers afterwards so all was good:)
Now I am going to hang out this week on Oahu and take in the beaches and golf courses. I will try and see if I can get a ‘real’ tan and try not to burn too badly in places that haven’t seen the sun in a long long time! ha ha But mostly I am going to work on my game and get it ready for the next Monday qualifier at KoOlina.
I hope everyone is well! Thank you for all your well wishes and emails of support! I will keep battling it out on the course and I know this year will be good…just have to get my foot in the door as they say!
Take care and talk to you all again soon!
Love AJ
