Holy Toledo!!
Hello everyone!
I know it has been a while since I wrote last. Just been enjoying the time off in Penticton with family and friends and trying to think of something great to say next! ha ha
This week in Toledo has really been a whirlwind so far. I came in on the weekend to get ready for the Monday qualifier and it just so happens that United Airlines decided to keep my clubs for a couple extra days–just trying to see how I handled the stress I guess?!? I received them in time to have a quick practice round late Sunday afternoon. And I have to tell you that the clubs worked great—I had a hole-in-one on a 185 yard Par 3–with a 3 Rescue! Sweet eh?? A day too early though as I teed it up on Monday morning for the real event. Since they have had so much rain here in the past weeks, it was shortened to a 16 hole qualifier. I played well and thought I should get in with my one under score–but unfortunately I was one off!! Bummer!
As the week progressed, I participated in a pro am, which ended up getting rained out. I did get to meet some new people from the area though and watch a phenomenal thunderstorm pass by so not all was a loss!
It did not look like I was going to get in to the LPGA event, as there were quite a few people still in front of me on the alternate list. I showed up Thursday morning anyways, just in case. I thought that I could at least talk to some friends and enjoy breakfast, and then even get a little practice in. As it turns out, Nancy Lopez didn’t feel too well before her round and ended up pulling out and I was the only alternate around! With only about 20 minutes to spare, I hit a few balls and tried to get my ‘wheels’ going. As you might have seen, I didn’t get them going too well. Shot 9-over unfortunately but still managed to have a good time. Played with Laura Davies, who is always a great deal of fun to be with, as well as fun to watch as she smacks up the grass to tee up her driver on! I will look forward to tomorrow’s round and look for some great results! I am going to ask a good teacher for a few tips to get it going in the right direction…who knows, maybe I can shoot 60 like Paula Creamer??? How about that round!?! Awesome really!
Any way, that is my exciting week so far here in Toledo. For those of you who don’t know, it is my birthday on Saturday. I love my birthday and am looking forward to the day no matter what it brings!! I will be a young 32:)
Hope everyone is well and swinging smooth! Down the middle and in the cup!
Love AJ
