LPGA

'A' and her golf team went to the LPGA event at Torrey pines on Sunday. She got to rub shoulders with some great players: Lorena Ochoa, Paula Creamer, Julie Inkster. Shin, Choi.
The organizers do not want people clicking off pictures with noisey cameras, especially if the player is about to swing. So, I was lucky to snap this picture with my phone camera while Paula Creamer walked by 'A' to go to the 6th tee.















It was a little boring, but a day out on a course with the sun shinning, and the ocean, and cliffs at close range, while you watch women in short skirts play a sport, is not such a bad day. Anytime I can spend time with one of my daughters is a bonus.

Golf has started again















The last time I reported to you 'A' had gotten a score 55. Last week was her first round in many months. she dropped her score to a 50 on Tuesday, and then an all time low of 42 on Thursday at Torrey Pines. TP is a very tough course. Fast greens, and thick roughs, make it a challange for the pros who play the course in January for the Buick Open, and the US Open was played there last year too.

For those of you who feel strongly enough about it, and would like to sponsor her, she needs a new stand up bag, and she would like an Odyssey white hot two ball putter. For later in the season she is going to get a lightweight golf jacket, and we just ordered her Letterman jacket.

I am hoping the 42 is not a fluke, and she can repeat it, or even better it. If she gets in the 30's, ( which equates to 70's for 18 holes) colleges will look at her if she can do that consistantly.
