Hello everyone. I apologize again for the late post. After the completion of the final stage at Qschool Friday afternoon, I had the privilege of watching the Tide ROLL into victory in Gainesville, Fl Saturday night! I did not arrive back to my apartment until late Sunday night.
Well, if any of you have previously seen or heard the results of the final day at Qschool you will understand why I am saying what I am about to say, Thank God for another day! I am so thankful that I serve a God who guides me through difficult times and questions in life. I did not play well again during Friday’s round, which rapped up not only a tournament of ups and downs, but an entire season.
I carded an 83 during Friday‘s round. I started the day off fairly steady on the front nine with two great saves for par on holes eight and nine, but found myself on a bogey streak once again on the back nine. I was having trouble off the tee which left me with many difficult second shots into the green. On the back nine, everything seemed to collapse yet again. It was an all too familiar feeling as I made big numbers on my last two holes to leave a very bad taste in my mouth. Needless to say, I did not make the cut (top 70 and ties) to move onto Qualifying Stage III, but I will gain some sort of status on the Futures Tour for the 2012 season. I will not be told what my level of status is until the last week of November.
This was not only the biggest event on my schedule for the year, but it was my last event for this season as well. As I am wrapping up my season in words for you I am also packing things up here in Florida to head back to my beloved home land of Alabama, and I must admit I am very excited!
If you have been following along during my 2011 season on the SunCoast tour you may recall many emotional rollercoaster’s I have faced. I began the year really struggling to keep up with my fellow playing partners off of the tee. My lack of distance was a crutch that I was forced to play with most season. But, also within this year I have been connected with my new swing coach Patti McGowan. I truly thank God for connecting Patti and I. Between the two of us; we are in the early stages of unlocking the key to what I believe is my success. My swing has made drastic improvements this year and in return I have gained 10-15 yards off of the tee!
The future is looking bright with Patti and I working together. With many more hours of hard work and determination I WILL be one of the longer players off of the tee this time next year.
Also you may recall my total score at the end of most tournaments to be filled with shots I was not pleased with. Although that is a true statement, I will not see my 2011 season as a complete failure. I was once told that even the biggest failures, the worst, most intractable mistake beats the heck out of never trying! This year wasn’t exactly what I had planned, but I know I gave it my best.
This was a year of growth and change for me. I have been living in Florida on my own which means I have learned a lot about myself and my golf game. I understand more than ever what it takes to compete at the level I will compete at one day. It is not an impossible goal by any means. It is a goal that I know I can achieve with God on my side and my supporting family, friends and coach.
I also want to thank everyone involved who helped me live out my dreams this year. My mom and dad who are always there as my number one fans, but also all the businesses and individuals who helped sponsor me in my journey to becoming a professional golfer. I would also like to give a special thanks to Mr. Bill Acker. Without you all, this year would not have been possible. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to live my dreams everyday!
As for next year, I am not exactly sure what my plans are. I know one thing is for certain, I am not finished yet. The best is yet to come for Ashley Cox :)
As I said earlier, I truly believe God is molding me. He is shaping me for greatness. I do not know when that day will come, but I do know it will come to pass.
The 2012 season on the SunCoast tour will not begin until mid spring. As of now I do not have any events in the near future. As soon I my schedule begins filling up I will keep you all posted.
Thank you again for all your thoughts and prayers!

Rounds One-Three - Futures Qualifying School Stage II
Hey everyone, I apologize for the late post. This week has been hectic to say the least. Lots of activities with most of my days being spent on the golf course.
The most anticipated tournament of the season is under way. I am here in Venice Florida along with 233 other professional female golfers this week for the Futures Qualifying Stage II tournament. We are playing Plantation Golf & Country Club for the duration of the four-day event. Plantation has 36 holes we have been playing, The Bobcat and The Panther, both of which are in excellent condition.
I arrived in Venice Saturday afternoon to begin preparation for this week. Upon arrival, I was told of all the recent weather problems this area had been facing. Rain, Rain and more rain had filled the skies weeks in advance of Qschool and up until Tuesday morning, it had yet to let up. Shortly after my practice round on Saturday afternoon, the rain set it and did not let up until Sunday afternoon. Sunday morning, I had just enough time to get out and play five holes before we were taken off the course and did not return for the rest of the day. And you guessed it, Monday proved to be the same result. I was able to complete four holes before calling it a day. I said all of this to say, the golf course has been extremely wet during these past three rounds, specifically the Panther course.
I began the week Tuesday afternoon with a 12:00 p.m. tee time on the Bobcat course. I started the day off with a bogey on the first, but quickly followed it up with a birdie on my second hole. With a few pars under my belt, I ran into a bit of trouble on my fifth hole of the day. After an errant tee shot, which was quickly followed up by an even worse second shot, I finished the hole with a triple bogeys seven. I made the turn after nine holes at three over. Unfortunately, the back nine matched the front. I had several birdies and several bogeys followed by one double bogey to finish the day at six over par, 78.
I teed off Wednesday morning on the Panther Course at 8:05. I pared the first and was off to a decent start, due to the length of the first hole. The second hole was playing as a 165-yard par three. I flared my tee shot out to the right and my ball managed to find its way in between three very large palm trees (the joys of playing in Florida). The pin was sitting about 10 paces on the green, which gave me plenty of green to work with, but I only had about six feet in between the trees to hit it. Somehow, I managed to slide my ball in-between the palms and my ball finished up four feet from the hole. I made the putt and between my caddy and myself, we declared that could have been one of the most interesting up and downs to save par I have ever had!
The next hole was a par five playing 537 yards with water down the left side and out of bounds along the right. I pushed my tee shot to the right and could not manage to advance it very much due to a downhill lie in the wet rough. After a double bogey there and many more mistakes, I finished the front nine with a 41. The back nine shown to be just as frustrating. With zero birdies and many more mistakes, I carded an 82 for the day. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. This week’s event is not about going low, but you must stay consistent to advance to the next qualifying stage.
After Wednesdays round, I knew it would take two very low rounds Thursday and Friday to even give myself a chance.
I was back on the Bobcat course this morning, the dryer of the two, with an 8:25 tee time. With great chip shots on the first three holes to save par, I went on a bogey streak. I bogeyed the fourth-sixth hole as well as the eight and ninth. Again, I found myself behind the eight ball after the turn! I had shot yet another 41 on the front nine and was not happy. Nothing seemed to be going my way. I knew I had to play well on the back nine to salvage a decent round for the day. I pared the tenth hole, but had yet another bogey on the eleventh and twelfth hole. I had a momentum change on the par four thirteenth hole when I hit my five wood to three feet to make the first birdie since Tuesday morning! With a bogey on the sixteenth and another on the seventeenth, I finished the back nine at one over par to card yet another 78 for the week.
Obviously, I am very disappointed in this week’s performance. I cannot take back what has happened, but I can learn from my mistakes and grow. I still have one more round, which will begin at 8:15 tomorrow morning on the Panther Course once again. I have not lost faith in my ability and believe it or not, am excited about seeing what tomorrow has in store. I will give it my all and move on. I will grow from this week and become a better golfer because of it.
I will keep you all posted as tomorrows round is completed.

Navistar Classic - Monday Qualifier
I apologize for the late post everyone.
I have been back in Alabama the past few weeks now and it has been wonderful! After some much needed time with family and friends I headed down to Prattville Alabama Sunday morning to begin preparing for the Monday Qualifier at the Navistar Classic. The Navistar tournament stop has only been on the LPGA tour for five years now, but it has quickly become one of the better tournaments on the LPGA schedule. With that being said, the golf course played extremely difficult. The course was definitely setup to host a top notch professional event.
I teed of Monday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. My very first tee shot was hit a little wayward missing the fairway by about 10 yards, but the penalty was severe. On most golf courses I would have been penalized, but had a decent shot into the green. I quickly learned that was not the case this week. My ball was sitting so low in the thick rough, it took all I had to advance it forty yards. I finished the hole with a double bogey and never really recovered.
After a par on hole number two, I followed it up with bogeys on holes three and four.
The pattern continued throughout the entire day. This golf course would not allow anything but perfect shots. A misjudged putt and you were facing a six-footer coming back. With only one birdie on the card for the day I finished the round with an 84.
I cannot say that I wasn’t disappointed with the outcome of Mondays round. I can be completely honest in saying that I truly enjoyed myself and I learned many things about my golf game and how amazing it is going to be one day when I tee it up again at that level. I did not play up to my standards, but I am able to see now how I stand when facing the most challenging golf course I have ever played. The environment was amazing, every golfers dream! I played a golf course that was roped off, had TV towers and grandstands all over the property. My family was there cheering me on every step of the way as well as my caddie.This level of golf required all players to have caddies. I was fortunate in having the very best caddie for my game this week, my boyfriend Chad was on the bag and did a fantastic job :)
I will not let this week get me down. I am still preparing for Qualifying School which begins September 27th-30th in Venice Florida. Chad will be on the bag again during this event and my dad will be making a special trip down as well. I will be heading back to Florida at the end of this week to begin early preparations for the tournament.
I hope everyone has a great week and I will keep you posted as Qschool gets underway.

Round Three – Falcon’s Fire
Happy Friday everyone!
I carded a 5 over par, 78, during the last round of this week’s event. After a quick start with a birdie on the second, I made bogeys on the fifth and ninth hole to make the turn at +1, 37. I was feeling good about the first nine holes at the turn, but an errant third shot on the par 5 tenth left me with a tricky 12 footer up the hill to save par. I missed the putt and was now two over for the day. After pars on 11, 12 and 13 I was anxious for a birdie.

I missed the putt and was now two over for the day. After pars on 11, 12 and 13 I was anxious for a birdie.
I thought the par five, 14th would give me what I needed! The hole was playing a little longer due to wind and with a pin tucked in the back right corner of the green; I had a longer shot than I had on the previous days. I left my shot in the hazard short of the green. I managed an up and down to save par, but was dealt a very similar situation on the par four, 16th. I did not manage to get up and down; therefore I doubled the hole, which was quickly followed by a bogey on the 17th. At this point I am six over for the day and NOT a happy person. The 18th played as a par five and I wanted nothing more than to finish this week strong with a birdie on the last. I hit two really good shots in and had 49 yards into the green. I hit the flag with my third, but the ball didn’t exactly drop. It stayed on the edge of the cup which left me with a tap in birdie!
This week was definitely a breath of fresh air compared to last week. My scores did not show it as much as I would have liked, but I am hitting the ball much better and have conquered some of the mental blocks that were occurring. I am very thankful for the next few weeks off to get prepared for the most important month of the Season. September not only hosts my little sister’s birthday (Happy early birthday!!) but it is the month I return to Alabama to give a go at the LPGA Navistar classic in Prattville Alabama. Most LPGA event’s host a one day qualifier before the tournament begins to give amateurs and professionals who have yet to make it to the tour, a try at making the cut. The qualifier is a one day event and the two lowest scores will have the opportunity to tee it up with the big girls later that week!Also, the most important four days of the year is quickly approaching. The last week in September is the Qualifying School to be eligible for the 2012 season on the Futures Tour. “QSchool” will be hosted by Plantation Golf Club in Venice Florida September 27th-30th.
I have many hours planned with my coach in the coming weeks and some much needed emphasis will be placed on my short game. I am excited to see what these next few events have in store for me and my future!

Round Two - Falcon's Fire
The definition for the term “Déjà Vu” simply means - tedious familiarity. Today was just that. If you read last weeks blog following my very long days at Orange County National due to poor weather, you will soon begin to see a trend in today‘s round.
Today started out like most Florida mornings, sunny and hot! And then the clouds began to form. Not only in the sky, but within my bag as well. I started the day off with a par on the first and then began the second, which started the up hill climb for the remainder of the day. I bogeyed the next three holes in a row…and then the rain came. It started raining on #4, but didn’t stick around long. We played through the showers as I pared the next 2 holes. With a bogey on #7 and a birdie on #8, I made the turn at three over, 39.
After pars on holes ten and eleven, the clouds reappeared. Once my group finished number twelve, the weather sirens blew and we were called into the clubhouse due to a storm brewing around the course. Within an hour and a half the golf course had be drenched! Once the thunder and lightening cleared out, we returned to the very soggy thirteenth.
Obviously the wet grounds were making the golf course play much longer as well as slower. I came back from the rain delay with a bogey on #13 and a birdie on #15. With a par on #16 and bogeys on #17 and #18, I finished the day with a 6 over par, 79.
Today was an extremely disappointing day. I am really beginning to see improvements on some key fundamentals my coach and I are working on, but can’t seem to put anything together. It was very frustrating! Putting is usually my strong suite, and today it was the poorest part of my game.
With that being said, I am thankful to see improvements on the things I’ve been working so hard on. I know it will all come together SOON!
I tee it up for the final round tomorrow at 9:20 off of #1.
I will keep you posted as tomorrow comes to a close :)

Round One - Falcon's Fire
Hey Guys. I hope everyone had a great weekend! I teed it up today for round one at Falcon's Fire Golf Course in Kissimmee. The course is in good condition, with the exception of a few wet spots due to all the rain we received last week. The layout of the course has also been altered slightly. We are playing the course as a par 73 this week due to a very long par 4 which has had the tees backed up and converted into a par 5.
I played fairly solid today with the exception of one minor hiccup late in the round. I shot three over (76), with two birdies.
I started the day off with a birdie and a bogey on the front nine to make the turn at even par, 36.
After back to back bogeys on 12 and 13 I recovered nicely with a birdie on the 15th. Then the “hiccup” happened. After a decent tee shot on #16, I short sided myself in the thick rough. My ball was sitting deep in the rough and I was unable to get anything on it. Needless to say a not so perfect situation and shot led to a very disappointing double. I finished the round with pars on 17 and 18 to shoot three over, 40 on the back 9.
I have taken away lots of positive thoughts from round one. My ball striking was much improved from last weeks event, as well as my thought process pre and post tee time.
I am excited to see what tomorrow holds! I feel like I am in a comfortable position to play well and capitalize on some opportunities.
I’ll keep you all posted as round two comes to a close!

Round’s Two & Three - Orange County National
Good evening everyone! I hope this finds all of you doing well and enjoying the start of your weekend. As you may recall from my last post, this week’s event did not go according to plan to say the least. I apologize for the late post so ill give a quick recap as it unfolded…
After the delay of round one, we were scheduled to resume play Wednesday morning at 8:00 a.m. By sunrise Orange County National was yet again surrounded by thunder and lightning with rain on the way. Due to lightening concerns, we had a delayed start but were able to hit it around 8:30. We played one and a half holes just to have the sirens blow yet again. We were in another rain delay! The heavy rain and lightening lasted for about an hour until the heavy stuff stopped. We resumed play in the rain around 10:00. I carded a very disappointing 84 that morning. No matter the circumstances surrounding round one, I made mental mistakes that have not shown up in my game in quite some time. I began second guessing the speed of the greens and could never get my distance on point.
After completion of the 36 hour round one, my second round began the same afternoon at 2:27 p.m. By this point the rain had temporarily moved out of the area and we were able to tee it up without a delay. I started the round off decent with an up and down to save par on the 2nd as well as the 4th. I was one over heading into the 8th hole when the sirens blew once again. This time the rain delay only lasted for 30 minutes. I returned to the 8th to begin a bogey train until the 11th hole. I finished round two at 8 over par for an 80.
I teed off Thursday morning at 7:16 am to begin round three. It began quite the same way as the first two. I started off without any problems, but again, could never get anything going. Lots of minor mistakes with the putter led to yet another 80.
Obviously I am very disappointed with this week’s performance. With all the starting and stopping I never gained complete focus and confidence. BUT the good news is this is all a part of the process of this goofy game I love!! The sport that drives me crazy at times, yet still remains my focus and passion. This past week was a minor hiccup in the road, a mountain that I must climb and most importantly, learn from. A wise man once said, “On the way to where you’re going, don’t forget to enjoy where you’re at.” Even though I did not perform up to my standards, I’m enjoying the ride. I thank God for the position I’m in and the life lessons I am learning along the way!
I want to thank you all for your support and prayers again this week! They mean more than you know.
I will tee it up this Tuesday at Falcons Fire in Kissimmee Florida. I will keep you all posted as round one begins.
Happy Friday :)

This time the rain delay only lasted for 30 minutes. I returned to the 8th to begin a bogey train until the 11th hole. I finished round two at 8 over par for an 80.
I teed off Thursday morning at 7:16 am to begin round three. It began quite the same way as the first two. I started off without any problems, but again, could never get anything going. Lots of minor mistakes with the putter led to yet another 80.
Obviously I am very disappointed with this week’s performance. With all the starting and stopping I never gained complete focus and confidence. BUT the good news is this is all a part of the process of this goofy game I love!! The sport that drives me crazy at times, yet still remains my focus and passion. This past week was a minor hiccup in the road, a mountain that I must climb and most importantly, learn from. A wise man once said, “On the way to where you’re going, don’t forget to enjoy where you’re at.” Even though I did not perform up to my standards, I’m enjoying the ride. I thank God for the position I’m in and the life lessons I am learning along the way!
I want to thank you all for your support and prayers again this week! They mean more than you know.
I will tee it up this Tuesday at Falcons Fire in Kissimmee Florida. I will keep you all posted as round one begins.
Happy Friday :)

Round One - Orange County National
Hey friends and family! After a few weeks away from tournament golf and a great vacation with my family, I teed it up this morning at Orange County National in Winter Garden, Fl. The course is in excellent condition, by far the best course I have played all season. It’s a different style golf course than I’m used to seeing here in Florida. Most courses seem very flat and open, but this week the lay out reminds me more of the courses I’m used to seeing back home. Strategy is key this week. Knowing where to place the ball and when to attack is going to be my determining factor of success.
As I said, I teed it up this morning on #1 with an 8:13 tee time, but I did not mention how quickly the round ended. I was 1 over after my first four holes when storms began brewing. By the time I reached #5 tee, lightening was all around. The weather sirens blew at around 9:30 and we were called into the clubhouse for a rain delay. We waited for a couple of hours, but radars showed heavy rain and storms for the remainder of the afternoon. Therefore, tomorrow is looking like a long day! We will resume play tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. After completion of the first round we will begin round two.
If all goes according to plan tomorrow I will have played 32 holes by night fall, therefore patients is key. I will keep you all posted as rounds 1 and 2 are completed.
Have a great night
If you try you may fail, if you never try you're guaranteed to fail

Round Three - Harmony
Hello everyone. Sorry about the late post. I had a friend fly in last night who is here preparing for the first stage of LPGA Q-School next week in Daytona Beach. Best of luck Lauren!!
Yesterday was a very fun and interesting day on the course! I started the front nine with six straight pars. I was striking the ball fairly decent, but couldn’t get any putts to fall. I encountered a few struggles on hole seven when I hit a poor chip shot which led to my first bogey of the day.
I made the turn with a very boring one over par, 37. I was a little frustrated at the turn because I knew I had let a few birdie opportunities slip and my score was not reflecting how well I was striking the ball.
The struggles continued after my second shot into number 10 green. I made bogey there followed by bogeys on holes 11 and 13. At this point I was four over for the day and not a happy camper!
With a par on 13, I teed it up on the par five 14. The hole normally plays as a short par five, but my drive was not exactly textbook, therefore I had 148 yards into the hole. I played a very good shot and stuck it to three inches to have a tap in birdie, my first of the day!
I had gotten it back to three over and was needing something to happen!
After a solid drive on the par four 15 I had 166 yards left into the hole. I pulled my rescue wood and struck it very nicely. As soon as I hit it my playing partners were all saying “Good Shot”. I knew it was close and was walking back to my bag when a fellow player and her caddie started screaming, “It’s in the hole!” I was very skeptical until I arrived to the green to see everyone’s ball but mine. Surprisingly, there it was…In the Hole! I eagled the par four to get me back to one over for the day! I was excited and really had to take plenty of deep breathes before the next tee shot to ensure my nerves were beginning to calm down.
With a routine par on 16 I had arrived to the par three 17th. I knew I was pumped, but didn’t realize how much. I flew the green by 15 yards and managed a very stressful up and down.
Finally, the 18th hole had arrived and I was determined to stay at one over par for the day. The last hole played as a very long par four into the wind. After a decent drive and second shot I still had a 40 yard shot into the green. I left myself with a 20 foot putt to shoot one over for the day, and I drained it!
I am very pleased with yesterday’s performance. I saw drastic improvements in so many of the areas I have been working on.
After three tournaments in a row I am thrilled to have a few weeks off. I will take this week to practice with Lauren and will be vacationing with my family next week!
I tee it up again August 9-11 at Orange County National.
I will be sure and keep everyone posted as the tournament gets under way. As for me, I am thrilled to be spending some much needed time with family and friends!

Round Two - Harmony
Well, today was a little rough. Nothing disastrous, but challenging to say the least. I carded a 77 today with six bogeys and only one birdie.
I am happy there were no major mistakes, but at the same time I did not capitalize on the chances I was given. A few poor chip shots, one or two bad iron shots and next thing I know I was four over after ten holes.
I managed a birdie on the par four eleventh, but quickly let the momentum slip with a bogey on twelve. I fought hard on thirteen and fourteen to save par, but it wasn’t enough to erase the mistakes I made earlier in the round.
Thank God, tomorrow is a new day! I do feel very comfortable on this golf course and am focused on taking advantage of many missed opportunities. My goal for tomorrow is to stay confident and focused on the task at hand no matter the circumstance I find myself in!
I will have yet another early morning tomorrow with a tee time at 7:40 EST off of #1.
Thanks to everyone for following me this week. I’ll keep you all posted!

Round One - Harmony
Good afternoon everyone! I am playing another Suncoast event this week in Harmony Florida. We are playing at Harmony Golf Preserve. The course is in excellent shape for our event this week. The greens are rolling true and the fairways are tight (not half as wet as last week, Thank God!) Today was a beautiful day for golf! The wind picked up at times, but overall the playing conditions were perfect.
I started the day off on number one with a great up and down out of the sand to save par and nearly holed it on the par three third to make birdie. Towards the end of the front nine I let a few birdie attempts slip away and ended with a string of bogeys. I finished out the front nine at 38.
When I made the turn my goal was to stay focused on the present and let it happen, not force it. Even with a bogey on hole ten, I stayed committed and started seeing good things on the remainder of the back nine. I had one double bogey and two birdies coming in. I finished the back nine at one over to shoot 75 for the day.
Overall, I am pleased with today’s round. I have been working very hard on a few things in my swing and was pleased to see a glimpse of where my hard work is taking me.
Again, I am happy with today’s round, but am focused on tomorrow. I tee off at 7:30 tomorrow morning, so needless to say I will be calling it an early night :)
I will keep you posted as tomorrow unfolds.
Thanks for all your prayers and encouraging words this week. For my friends and family back home, I miss you all so much and can’t wait to see you soon!

Round Three - LPGA Champions
Hello everyone! Sorry for the delay on round three results. Yesterday proved to be a rough day for me on the course. I carded an 80 with no birdies and too many small errors. I was very disappointed in my putting, especially since that is usually a strong part of my game. This week is a quick turn around, therefore no time to get down on myself. The next event kicks off Monday morning at Harmony Golf Preserve in Harmony Florida. My tee time is set for 8:20 off of #1.
I know my true potential has yet to be seen, but I have complete confidence I will see evidence of it soon. One good day could change my environment and the way to approach an event. I know how hard I am working and believe it will begin to show itself soon!
I hope everyone has a great weekend. I will keep you posted as the even at Harmony begins.

Round Two - LPGA Champions
Well, today was a battle! As predicted the course was totally soaked for this mornings round. Extremely mushy accompanied with lots of mud...Yuck!!
I shot 39 on the front side after four bogeys and a birdie on the fifth hole.
Once I made the turn I struggled to get anything going. The putts were not falling quite as easily and neither were the good breaks. After a strand of bogeys, I was extremely frustrated to say the least.
Though the circumstances were not exactly what I envisioned I forced myself to move on from the previous shot and focus on the next. I played the last four holes at one under par to shoot 79 for the day.
I was proud of my finish, but see lots of improvements to be made in tomorrows round.
I tee of at 8:10 tomorrow, starting on #1.
Hoping for as little rain as possible tonight and a successful day tomorrow!

Round One - LPGA Champions
Hi everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend.
This week I am in Daytona Beach, Florida at LPGA International for another Suncoast Tour event. We are playing the Champions course and unfortunately we are playing it very soggy. Florida has received lots of rain recently which is no good for we golfers!
I carded a 75 today after an even par 36 on the front and three over, 39 on the back.
I started today’s round off solid with well played chip shots on holes one and two to save par and the short game magic continued throughout the front nine. I only hit four greens on nine holes, but managed nine pars in a row.
After a two put par on ten and a par on eleven I ran into a little trouble on holes twelve and fifteen. With errant tee shots on both holes I walked away with a double bogey on each. No Good!
I was proud of the way I stayed in the moment and had great two putts on sixteen and seventeen to save par.
Hole number eighteen is a par five. I knew I could leave myself with a 100 yard shot or less into today’s pin. I had yet to convert a birdie all day and was begging, pleading and praying for one! My third shot was not exactly brilliant therefore I had a 34 foot put breaking hard left. Obviously the prayers worked and I drained it! A very nice way to end the day :)
Overall, I am pleased with my round today. A few crazy shots cost me, but I stayed focused and finished well.
As I am typing it is flooding again here in Daytona, therefore looks like another wet day tomorrow. I will keep you all posted as rounds two and three unfold. Hope everyone has a great night.

Round's Two and Three - Stoneybrook West
First of all I want to apologize for the late entry.
Round’s two and three proved to be quite the challenge. The theme of having large numbers throughout my round’s continued. I battled most of the tournament with a roller coaster type scorecard.
Wednesday started off with a few pars until hole six. It was a dog-leg left, par four that was playing fairly long with a green surrounded by water and bunkers. Needless to say I didn’t do a great job of avoiding the trouble and made a mental mistake. I fought back with birdies on eight and nine. The back nine seemed to mirror the front. Another birdie on twelve followed by an error on fifteen led to a very disappointing 81.
Thursday’s round ended with the same result. I had many up and downs within the first 10 holes and couldn’t get it back by the end. I carded 81 again on Thursday.
Of course this week’s event proved to be disappointing, but as we golfers do, I'll bounce back and be ready to tee it up again on Tuesday! Next week’s event will be held at LPGA International in Daytona Beach, Fl Tuesday-Thursday.
I want to thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers this week. Now time to prepare and get after it again soon!
I hope everyone has a great weekend. Happy Friday :)

Round One - Stoneybrook West
Hi everyone! I hope you all were able to relax and enjoy this past holiday weekend with your friends and family. I was definitely missing everyone back home during the holiday as well as my big brother’s birthday (Happy Birthday Bradley, I love you!), but my Florida family made me feel right at home as I volunteered at the local parade and even shot fireworks :)
I’m at Stoneybrook West this week in Winter Garden, Fl. The course is in excellent condition for this week‘s event. Today was a beautiful day for golf in Florida. Blue skies with 100+ degree temperatures to follow!
I shot 76 this morning which was accompanied by one double bogey and only one birdie. The course is set up with quite a few difficult holes; therefore not too many low rounds were posted. Surprisingly, even par was the lowest round carded for the day.
I quickly jumped to two over after four holes. I played the remaining holes on the front nine fairly steady. I made a great save on number nine where I hit my second shot in the water hazard, but was able to get up and down to save par. The back nine was equally as steady, but I still managed to slip in a few goofy shots! I also finished the back nine at two over.
Overall I was pleased with today’s round. I had a game plan and I stuck to it.
I tee off at 8:10 tomorrow morning and am excited to get round two underway! I believe there are improvements to be made on my round today and I’m excited about facing the challenge head on.
I will keep you all posted as tomorrow’s round comes to an end!

Round Three - Forest Lake Golf Club
Well, today was not so great. I carded a 79...Yuck! I started off slow, but quickly turned it around with back to back birdies on holes 6 and 7. The momentum quickly shifted when I bogeyed 8 and 9 to finish the front nine at 37. Once again, I was very disappointed with my performance on the back nine.
A few missed greens and putts lead to a back nine 42.
Of course I’m not thrilled with the outcome of this week, but will not give up! I know what I need to work on and am excited to face the challenge head on.
I have a few weeks off before my next event. I’ll be back on the links July 5th-7th at Stoneybrook West Golf Club in Winter Garden, FL.
I am very excited to be heading home for the next couple of weeks and spending much needed time with family and friends. Bama is definitely calling my name!
I hope everyone has a great weekend and I will keep you posted as the next event draws closer.
Happy Friday!

Round Two - Forest Lake Golf Club
Two words best used to describe today’s round, A Fight! The putts were not falling quite as friendly on the front nine today, but the back nine did not prove to be as difficult either. I shot a 76 with a 38 on the front and matched it with a 38 on the back.
It was quite a boring round. I managed fourteen pars alongside four bogeys. Everything I did seemed to be a struggle. I knew if I could just roll in one or two birdies I could’ve had the opportunity to finish with a decent round, but nothing seem to fall. I finished the day with no birdies and a very frustrated attitude towards my putter! (because it was definitely my equipments fault….lol)
BUT, on the bright side, I parred twelve and thirteen!
Tomorrow is the final round and once again I tee off very early.
Praying for putts to fall and lots of good sleep!

Round One - Forest Lake Golf Club
The tournament is under way! After an early wake up call this morning (4:30 a.m.) and a long drive to the course, I was thrilled to finally tee it up. I carded a 75 today and am pleased with the position I‘m in going into the next two rounds.
I started the morning off with a number of birdies on the front nine and made the turn at two under. The back nine proved to be a little more challenging. I made two great pars on holes ten and eleven, but found myself struggling on twelve. I tripled twelve and followed it up with a double on thirteen. Needless to say I knew that had to be a defining moment in my round. I was proud of the way I fought and finished the remaining five holes. I was able to stay focused and play it one shot at a time. In the end I parred the remaining holes on the back nine to shoot five over.
Tomorrow is looking like another early morning, but I can’t wait. I feel like I left a few putts out there today and am excited to get on the back nine and really see what I’m made of!
I can not thank everyone enough for all the encouraging thoughts and prayers this week. They are MUCH appreciated.
I’ll keep you posted!

No one plans to fail, you simply fail to plan..
With that being said, I’m still planning! My first event has been canceled which means I’ve got a little more time to prepare. I was really excited about this weeks event, but everyone could use a few more days of practice right? I am scheduled to play in the next SunCoast event which will be held June 8-10 at Forest Lake Golf Club in Ocoee,Fl. I will be sure and keep you all updated on any changes that may occur. I hope each of you have a great Memorial day weekend!

I Have Arrived!
I FINALLY made it! After endless checklists from mom, packing too many things i'll never need and saying my tearful goodbyes; it all came down to the 10+ hour journey. I arrived Monday evening and have had a few days to get settled and acquainted with the area. My first event will take place May25th-27th at Timacuan Golf Club in Lake Mary, Fl. I had a chance this week to play a practice round and the course is in great condition. The greens were a little slow, but I’m sure the speed will increase as players beginning arriving.
As for me, I will be getting as many rounds in as possible and continue working on my game. The countdown is on and I can’t wait! Looking forward to a productive week.
I will keep you guys posted as round one draws closer. Hope you all have a great weekend!
