CDA Summer

Greetings from Coeur d'Alene!

Beautiful Coeur D'alene River 

        I hope this post finds you all happy and healthy! Last time I posted, Bruce and I were heading for Seattle for the US Open qualifier, and then heading "home" to Idaho. So I'll pick there.... I won't delay and I will just say it, Rainier golf and country club in Seattle just hit the top of my list of "most challenging course ever". I was warned by many that this course was hard to score on, and they were certainly right. The fairways were tight, and the greens were diabolical! Although it was another great experience to add to the books, and Bruce did a great job for his first time carrying the clubs for 36 straight holes, we came up a bit short of qualifying in the end. This qualifier reminded me to always fight until the very end, because you never know what scores will make it!! Also, I want to give a HUGE thank you to my good friend Gary, who drove all the way from Eugene to watch me play. What a friend!

        Arriving back in Coeur D'alene is always wonderful. It's our happy place. It's hard not to adore a place that has a world class golf course that supports your dreams and does everything they can to help you succeed. Another HUGE
thank you, this time to everyone at Circling Raven, for hosting me for another summer. Such an amazing group of people!! Since arriving back, Bruce and I have been working out some kinks in the swing, planning for the rest of the summer, and continuing to improve every day! We continue to love working together and we are excited to see where to summer takes us.

     On a final note, Bruce and I were supposed to leave for Las Vegas today for a Cactus Tour event. However, a few days ago, a random swing tweaked something in my shoulder. Not wanting to irritate it more, we decided to withdraw from the Las Vegas event so that my shoulder would be better for Ontario. Although I am very stubborn, and dislike changing plans, I know this was for the better. We leave for Niagara Falls on the 17th, and the event starts the 23th.
