The Longs event was the first LPGA event that I played in 8 years ago.
Golf is a game of coordination, rhythm, and grace; women have these to a high degree.
Playing golf led me to Georgetown. I played on the women's team there.
In the age of millennials, women's rights, and female empowerment, I hope my voice helps to encourage the next generation of great female athletes and golfers to possibly stop social injustices and prejudices from creeping into the game that I fell in love with at such a young age.
There is so much I want to do in women's golf, and I'm living my dream.
If it's sports and women's golf, men's golf, and it's on TV, I'm watching it. I watched those ladies do what they do at such a high level, and she's obviously a big basketball fan and a fan of ours, too. So it was cool to have that interaction.
Women's golf definitely hit a bump in the road. We lost some tournaments due to a combination of things led by the downturn in the economy.
I may not go down in history as the best female golfer to ever play, however my intent is to do whatever I can to grow the game.
The reason I wrote about women's golf is because I've helped out some with the Kathy Whitworth Cup, a tournament they have in Fort Worth every year where they invite 60 of the best junior golfers in the country and even some foreign players.
The very first tournament I watched is the U.S. Open when I was 13. And that was the year Juli Inkster won.
It had been almost 30 years since the LPGA has played in Mexico. We are definitely looking forward to playing there next year and also coming back to play in Mexico in a month or so.
With Tiger Woods, you know everyone is watching. But I think interest in women's golf is getting better too.
