Hi friends,
On Tuesday, March 6th I stopped in Orlando on my way to Lakeland to play a Moonlight Tour event at Windermere CC. I placed 3rd with a 77. It was fun as they sped up the greens and tucked the pins in some interesting places. Thanks to the Greenwald's for hosting me for an evening and cooking a wonderful steak dinner!
Following the event at Windermere I traveled to Lakeland and prepared to play in the first Duramed Futures Tour event but was 3rd alternate. The first few events are very popular on tour as many of the players base themselves in Florida so I may be on the fence for the beginning of the season. I am 3rd alternate for the Greater Tampa Duramed Futures Classic and will travel to the site this week, hoping for a few to withdraw. Although I did not get in this week it was very good for me to be in Lakeland to acclimate to playing on tour again. I cannot emphasize enough (and this is something I told my players when I was coaching), being comfortable with the atmosphere is so important.
This is the last week that I will do the "wait and see" plan. There is a new tour simply called the Ladies Tournament Series in the Orlando area that runs three day events with no cuts for a reasonable entry fee. The fields are small but the competition is good so I may sign up for a few of these events if I am still on alternate lists. My former player, Jeehae, won her first professional event on this tour so congratulations to her! You can check out the schedule for more information. I am considering playing the upcoming events at Deer Island, Forest Lake & Errol Estates.
As you can tell the life of a professional golfer is always in fluctuation :). I have learned to go with the flow and simply roll with the changes. I am currently in Port St. Lucie to practice for a few days before I head to Tampa. I will keep you posted on my always changing schedule!
Until next time,
Mary
