CN Canadian Open
August 13th, 2008
Hello and welcome to the big event!
Yes it has finally come around this year–the Canadian Open! I am happy to say that I am excited, even though a little nervous, to tee it up tomorrow. It feels like a long time since I have known that I am playing in an event long before the week begins. I have been in Penticton preparing and practicing for the past couple of weeks. The game is there, now I just have to let it come out!
I have a fun pairing tomorrow and Friday, with two of my best friends–Dawn Coe-Jones and Nancy Scranton. People think the pairing was rigged but I honestly can say we did not ask for it! We are going to have to try hard to not gossip and goof around too much. All in all, it will be nice to have my friends alongside me.
This could very well be Dawn’s last Canadian event. She has had a very successful career and she will be sadly missed if she does decide to hang it up after this year. I know she is feeling a bit nervous as well but being with friends will hopefully help her…or at least distract her! ha ha
Tomorrow evening is a special event for Lisa Walters, retired LPGA player from Prince Rupert, BC. She is being inducted into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame. I was lucky enough to help with some of the preparation for her scrap book. It is a huge honor and a well deserved one as well! She was a fantastic golfer, winning 3 events during her career. Also she is a wonderful person with many more talents other than just golf. Way to go Lisa!
Good night for now. Off to dream of drives in the fairways and putts going in the holes!!
Thanks for checking in!
All the best to you all, AJ

Hello AJ,
Just want to thank you for the great day/night in Penticton at tee’s up, I’m sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye, the daiquiri’s/ wine/beer hit me and I beetled home in my cart only to order a pizza and attempt to try and tell Dwayne how much fun the day was…you can imagine. I was very excited to hear you qualified for the Safeway Classic and Lorraine and her friends are so excited to be there to watch you play. Hit big….have fun…I’ll be watching on line, next time you are in town, I’ll have a dinner at my house (so I don’t have to drive my cart), all the best! Cheryl
