My Life

I am a member of the LPGA Future's Tour. I plan on playing in most of the events this year and I look forward to traveling all over the United States. I am working with Beau Baugh and we continue to improve my swing and I am waiting patiently for it to come together. I love spending time with family and friends when I am home but when I am on the road I enjoy reading and watching movies on my down time. I also like to scrapbook but with traveling I haven't been able to do that lately.

Home Sweet Home

I took a little vacation to IL to spend time with family and friends.  This was a much needed vacation because last week I was having some problems with my lower back and it was really bothering my golf game.  I went to a chiropractor and fixed my lower back problem but caused some tenderness in my upper back. I am not a big fan of bones "popping" or "cracking" so I was not excited about going to get adjusted.  I believe this has something to do with my muscle soreness in my upper back but with the time I took off this past weekend I feel that my back is feeling much better!! =)  I am traveling back to Florida Monday night and I am excited to get back on the course.  I will let you know how this week goes and I hope it's pain free and productive!!

Practice, Practice, Practice....

I have been in Florida for almost two weeks and the weather has been great but a cold front came through today.  It was not fun playing in this cold weather but I forced myself to get out there and play and I am happy I did.  It was 43 degrees out and sunny this morning but it felt like 34 degrees!! It felt like I was back in college and Coach Moncel had us out there playing a 18 hole qualifier for our first tournament of the spring season. Burrrrr!! But I played with Daniela Iacobelli, who is also on the LPGA Futures Tour, and we had a great time.  Tomorrow is going to be the last cold day here for a while and I am quite excited about that!! =) Keep warm!!!

On the road again...

I have left the IL Valley area to head south and start practicing again!! I am really excited to get back on the course and prepare for the 2011 season.  It was really good to be home with family and friends but I need to get back to work on my golf game. I am currently in AL spending time with a good friend from high school and then I will continue my trip to Florida on Thursday.  I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!!

2010 Winter Open

I would like to thank everyone who came out to Deer Park Country Club for my fundraiser this past Saturday.  I am truly blessed to have so many people who believe in me and want to help me make it to the LPGA. The money we raised on Saturday will help me pay for half of my entry fees. I am so thankful for everyone in the IL Valley because you guys have helped me out tremendously in the last two years!! Thank you again!! =) I look forward to starting up the season this March in Florida and I will keep you all updated as I travel with the tour!
