My trip up North



Hi all!

Well unfortunately I will not be playing in the US Women's Open this year. I went to New Jersey this week and tried to qualify and did not make it. My putter failed me and it is paying its dues today by sitting outside of the golf bag so it can think about how bad it let me down... haha.

I can only take the positives from this qualifier and try and improve on things and work hard for the next event!

I was able to go to the city on Monday for the first time ever! It was really neat except for the hustle and bustle of everything. It was definitely different from South Carolina haha. I did have fun and want to say thank you to the Byrd family for housing me and taking care of me.

My next adventure is heading to Iowa! I leave Saturday and will be driving with a good friend of mine. Im sure there will be lots of singing and maybe a little bit of napping in the car as well. Wish us luck and i'll be in touch soon!

God Bless

San Antonio and my Birthday!


Hey Everyone,
Last week was amazing in San Antonio TX! I rode from Brownsville to San Antonio with Stephanie Connelly and we had a major music session along with getting checked by border patrol! It was a good 4 hours in the car but once we got to San Antonio things got much better.

We stayed with the Santos and they could not have been a better family in San Antonio that we could have stayed with. I would like to thank them for the whole week including great meals, great wine, great stories, and a great bed!! They came out to watch me play and i wouldn't let them leave the whole day because i played so well. Im not superstitious am i? haha Thanks so much for your support and hospitality last week.

It was a good week for the golf game. I played solid and hit the ball well. I struggled on Saturday but i fought through it and managed to bounce back. I left some putts out there but i hope i am fixing it this week. My good friend Laura Crawford caddied for me on Sunday and we had a blast. However, she allowed me to 3 putt on 16, i forgave her and we made it through. Thanks Crawford for helping me relax and being a great caddy last week. For next week, however, lets just both be in the final group competing for the title! I was one over for 3 rounds and finished tied 21st. I loved the golf course and the atmosphere. I was very comfortable and enjoyed the overall experience last week. Thanks to all that made that a fun week!

I also had a birthday on Tuesday. I turned the big 23! I'm staying in Oklahoma for the week with Crawford and Micheala Cavener. Micheala's family is amazing and has been so nice. It's nice to stay with a family during the off week that i can feel comfortable around and that in which i feel similar to my home as well. They threw me a great birthday party and even made me a birthday dessert which was fantastic! Thank you Cavener family for having me this week!

Ok, i think that's all for now! I'll be posting after Kansas next week!

May God Bless.
