Hi all!

I'm taking donations to fund my trip to Pro Worlds 2011 in beautiful Santa Cruz, CA.

This is going to be an expensive trip, but I got my registration in just in the nick of time & I'm committed.

What an exciting opportunity this is!  I've been playing for 10 years, just waiting on my game to catch up with my…

Last weekend, I proved I still got game & it's about time!



Friday night doubles ROCKED! Neil Killian was my partner (team Neilio-Duh); we found our groove & were both putting lights out. We were six down on the next to last hole & Neil's putt stuck in the facemask for 1 more birdie! That equals 7 DOWN! For a couple of AMS! Hell yea! The winning Pro team shot 10 down. WOW! Did I say 7 DOWN!



I was able to continue the awesome putting most of the weekend. Too bad… Continue

First, I'd like to congratulate Amber on her Advanced win at Bowling Green & taking 2nd (by 1 stroke) at the GBO. & another big congrats to Paige Bjerkaas! She's only 13 & that girl has got game. She won the Advanced women's division @ GBO- great job!



After taking the winter to let my shoulder heal, I finally feel ready to get my game on again. I've been playing solid when I'm practicing, but that game did not follow me to the Glass Blown Open in Emporia last weekend.… Continue

We had a lot of random, entertaining moments at Worlds:



I have mention the weather. I've lived in Kansas all of my life & was expecting the heat. Instead, we barely broke a sweat all week. Thank you Mother Nature for holding back the 100+ degree temps!



I played doubles with Olav; we met at Am Worlds in Flagstaff in 2005. We had never played together before, but Olav's expectations weren't high. He wanted us to finish in the top 10. The first round, best shot, went… Continue

I took 13th place in a tough field. Not bad considering my shoulder was wearing down quickly through the week. Congrats to Mo on takin home the title. All the young girls in our division did really well: Rebecca & Michelle Frazer, Paige Pierce, Haliegh Shepherd. I wish I would've been playing when I was a teenager. Congrats girls!



I met so many great ladies last week and got to see some that I met at Worlds 4 years ago. Melissa (Canada!), Kim, Becky, Stacey, Tiffany, Toni,… Continue

We drove to Kansas City yesterday for the Teepad Open at Cliff Drive. It was PERFECT!



I got my best friend, Ashlyn to go with me. She needs to work on her temperment during the rounds before we go to Worlds; she gets easily frustrated shortly followed by turret-like outbursts. This was good practice for her. I finally got the chance to talk to her about my concerns; I want her to go to Worlds and have an awesome experience. I don't want her to get disqualified because of her… Continue

I'm one of those golfers whose big head gets in the way of my game sometimes. I'm 40-50 foot out, thinking "I've got this putt." Within the last couple of years, I've learned that maybe that's not the best way; although, I'm a superb putter, taught by some of the best in the midwest. I like to impress the boys with my mad puttin skillz.



About 3 years ago, I went to play one of my favorite tournys in Herrington, KS. Until this point, I was the best girl golfer around these parts,… Continue

Even though I didn't get to play (takin it easy on the shoulder), I had a blast last weekend. It was my first visit to the Lodge in Pawhuska, OK; wow, what a place!



There were some pretty bad storms rolling through Kansas and Oklahoma Friday evening, so I postponed my journey down south as long as I could stand to. I almost waited until Saturday morning to drive down, but the cooler was already full of beer, I was all packed and ready to go, so why wait? I needed to work on my… Continue

After 5 visits to the chiropractor, I've been approved to play disc golf again!



I have to ease into it so I don't hurt myself again, but at least my shoulder is better.

I've been having withdrawals, bad, for the last two and a half weeks; couldn't even putt without hurting.



The doc said it's a good thing I quit when I did (2nd round in a 2-day tourny) or I probably would've needed surgery. I was getting pretty upset with my rapidly declining game, but now I know why I… Continue

I hurt my shoulder playing league on Tuesday.

How is it I can throw 310 times in Emporia (2 huge courses) over the weekend without hurting myself, but I come back home and hurt myself immediately. I think it may have something to do with my bag/ back pack straps. I can feel the tension in my shoulders every time I take my bag on and off.



I have been going to a chiropractor for 5-6 years now, but have been fortunate enough to not see him for the last year or so. My chiroprator… Continue
