Hitting the Road

Hello Friends!
Sorry for the delay in posts, Bruce and I have been very busy with scheduling, packing, fundraising and squeezing in two more tournaments before hitting the road. I'll make it short and sweet as we are driving through Oregon at the moment......

Two weeks ago I played in another Cactus tour event at Ocotillo golf resort. I played alright and ended the tournament shooting 72-77-70 and tied for 4th place. Although I wasn't impressed with the way I hit the ball that week, I was impressed with the improvement in my putting and it was good enough to walk away with another top 5 finish.

After the tournament at Ocotillo, I had the opportunity to participate in the Gilbert Boys & Girls Club golf tournament. On that day, I played in a little competition called, "beat the pro" where players had the option to bet against me on a par 3 for a $5 buy in. If I beat them, I gave the $5 to the Boys & Girls club, if they happened to beat me, I doubled their money. It was a fun event and I got to hit a TON of 8 irons that day!! I had a lot of takers in the challenge and only a few came out victorious, but were generous enough to allow the Boys & Girls Club to keep their winnings. It was a great opportunity and experience to work with such an outstanding organization!!

The following day, I took part in the Shriners Pro-am which brought a ton of cold, wind, and fun!! My team didn't play well, but it was great to play with members of yet another great organization. After the pro-am I played in the Cactus Tour event at the same course, Legacy. I had a bit of a rough week but have made some adjustments and am ready to hit the road for summer!!

Speaking of summer, my tentative summer schedule has been posted in the "Schedule & Results" tab!! Bruce and I will be traveling around Canada, going to Washington and Las Vegas, and hopefully to North Carolina for the US Women's Open. We are excited to see where this summer takes us and see how my game continues to improve.

Lastly, Bruce and I have kicked off a crowdfunding rally to help provide funds for our summer entry fees. As many of you know, golf is an expensive sport and playing mini-tours makes it more so. If you all would help out in our journey by contributing or by passing on the word of our rally, it would be greatly appreciated. In the first week of the rally, we have reached 25% of our goal and couldn't be more grateful!! Bruce and I couldn't continue pursuing this dream without you all....
Thank you all for your support and continuous love!!
