Hi all,
Sad to say I am back a day early from Q school this year. I unfortunately had a poor tournament and did not improve my status. I will be keeping my status of E which means I will get into primarily all of the Futures events except the first few ones. It was a tough week on the course but I was able to take a few good moments from the overall week. Someone has recently told me that this is a process and I need to focus on the big picture. At the end of the day, golf is just a game and does not define who I am, it only builds character and allows doors to become open. I will continue to strive hard each day to better my golf game and still look forward to competing this coming year in 2011.
My dad and I started our journey last Saturday. We got to stop by and see my grandparents in Pamplico, SC, which was a good treat before the 10 hr drive. We also stopped in Charleston and had a meeting with a group of people who are promsing for my future and great connections to have. I hope to have formed a relationship with them that wil benefit both their company and myself. Thanks for your time, you know who you are.
Continuing the trip, Dad and I also found a new place to eat! We stopped at exit 87 off of Interstate 95 at this place called the Smokin Pig. It was a little BBQ place that had amazing food and great service. They are famous for their BBQ of course but the treat was their banana pudding, known as "Naner Puddin." It might have been the best banana pudding I've ever had.
Once we got to Lakeland area, I played practice rounds with one of my closest friends. It was great to see her and I am so glad we got to hang out for a few days and catch up since we have not seen each other since season! Love you Linds! As for me and dad, we had our problems with his snoring. For those who know my dad, y'all know he loves me to death. He loves me so much he slept on the bathroom floor with the door shut so that it would lessen the chance of hearing him snore. How sweet?!! We decided a hotel room was not going to work so had to move to a condo near Champions Gate. Needless to say, it was a great move because it very nice with a great price and I didn't have to hear him snore for the rest of the week! We had a blast and I couldn't have made it through this week without my dad. Love you Dad and thanks for you help this week with everything.
Each day on the course was very long and slow but I stayed patient and did the very best I could. My plans for the rest of the season include working with my swing coach, continuing changes, working with a physical trainer to get stronger, and working. Please keep up with the support and watch for more post! May God Bless
Lauren
