Unfortunately, I don't do much preparation for these events, as I have a full teaching schedule at Pacific Coast Golf Centre in Richmond.
These days, I can actually enjoy the sight of two herrons flying over head and landing near the pond by the green: I'm in a tournament, but I'm also having a mini-vacation from work.
My mum brought me some old right-handed, hand-me-down clubs when I was 12 years old, courtesy of Conrad Mackenzie, who is now my step-father.
It really takes likeable superstars to get the attention of the masses.
It has crossed my mind that I would like to run or help to run a pro women's tournament, although I really don't know much about organizing an event (it seems overwhelming actually).
I think we need more events to play in.
I think the tour is doing a better job of showing off the personalities of the players with their website, which is filled with tidbits of what the players are up to.
I started by hacking around the back yard in Richmond.
I just have to relax before each shot, and let it happen knowing that I've done it a million times before.
I am relying on the theory that playing golf is just like riding a bike and that I haven't forgotten how.
I actually prefer to go bike riding on days off. I cycle around the lower mainland.
But the T.V. coverage is hard to find.
As for expectations, I have much less pressure than I would if playing golf was my primary source of income- those were the high-pressured good ol' days.
Annika put the LPGA on the map for a little while last year with her heroics at Colonial.
