Final Stage LET Q School 5thday

2012-01-20T10:04:00.002-06:00

Hi Yall,

I am very excited to be back on the LET tour next year... After a pretty bad opening round, I managed to stay calm and fight all week long to finish T26 and get my full card. It was a pretty stressful week but happy about myself. I still have a lot to work which is a good thing... Always have to keep working hard on your game to become one of the best players!
Now I will take some time off before getting ready in a week for the New Zealand open February 17th-19th.
I will update my blog when starting practicing again.

Hi yall,

Another good day today at the office... I shot 69 (-2) in windy conditions. I played my own game, stayed steady all day, made some good putts. Very happy with my day...

Final Stage LET Qschool round 1&2

2012-01-16T11:16:00.002-06:00

Hi yall,

Sorry for not updating my blog earlier but totally forgot...
Yesterday was a tough day for me.. I shot 80 (+9). I played poorly and didn't make any putts. My confidence went down. I couldn't get motivated... I went and hit some balls later in the afternoon. I hit it better... I was trying to get my confidence back for today's round.
Today was much better... I was trying to hit it solid all day long... It was a little up and down all day but I fought hard and finished the day with 71 (-2). I am getting my mind back to the game and I am playing my own game without trying to hard...
Later today, I went back to the range, and my hitting is getting better...
Let's have another good day tomorrow....
Talk to yall later.

Hey,

Today was the last day of the first stage of LET Qschool. I didn't start as well as the other 3 days, since I made 3 times 3 putts on 4 holes. After that, I tried to calm down and play my own game, focusing on each shot. I played better since I finished the day with 75 (+2). I finished the tournament 3rd. Very happy with it. And ready to play well next week in the second qualifying school.
Tomorrow, Day off with some work out and some shopping in Alicante.
After that, I will be back to work/ practice to get ready for the first round on Sunday...

Hero Indian Women's Open

2011-12-13T11:35:00.002-06:00

Hi Yall,

I came back from India two days ago.. I got an invite from the Indian federation to come play... I flew from NY to New Delhi, very long flight.. I got to India on wednesday night to walk to course and practice a bit my chipping/putting on thursday.. I couldnt play the course because they had a pro am all day long...
I shot 75-74 and finish strong with 71... I finished T33. I was happy with the way I finished.

Now I am back home, I am talking some days off for Christmas and then will start practicing again for LET Qschool in January....

Happy holidays.
Merry Christmas and Happy new year to all.

Have a great month of December!

Qschool

2011-12-13T03:37:00.002-06:00

Hi Yall,

I will tell you everything about Qschool...
I need to finish in the top 20 in order to have full status next year on the LPGA and improve my status got from LPGA futures tour...

my first day was going fine until the last two hole where I had a bogey and a triple and shot +1 that day... Very disappointed of my finish but pretty confident since I was playing good golf and I knew a good score was right around the corner....

my second i shot +2. Played good all day and once again shot +2 out of my last 2 holes.... I was keeping my confidence up for the next 3 days....
my third day was a day off. I didn't play well at all... It was a day to forget...
I needed to play well the last 2 days because I was 4strokes the top 20....
I shot even par the fourth day and -1 the fifth day to finish T33... I didn't improve my LPGA Futures tour status. I was a little disappointed once again since I lost a lot of strokes on the last holes and missed the top 20 by 2 strokes....

I will then get in some events next year on the LPGA... Can't wait to play out there and get some experience!!!

See yall later...

2011-12-13T03:33:00.002-06:00

Hi Fans,

Sorry I haven't updated my blog in so long... I have been very busy playing for the last month, and I didnt have access to internet...

I went back to the USA November 13th to play 2 suncoast events to get ready for Qschool... The first one didn't go as planned... I shot 77-75-75 and I finished T33. The first day I didn't putt very well and the two last days I played better but didn't ended up my rounds like I wanted... I think I was +4 out of 4holes at the end...

The next suncoast started 2 days later... I played better. I shot 73-73-68 and finished T19. My goal during those tournaments was to get to know the courses very well for qualifying school coming up after Thanksgiving....

After 2 days off I started to practice again for Qschool....

Last week, I was playing in France, in Dinard ( in Britany). I shot 71-69-68 ( par 70) and finished T18.

It was getting ready for the Lacoste Ladies Open de France...
The French Open was played in Paris and the weather was great all week. But I didn't play as I wanted since I shot 75-71 and missed the cut by one... The first day wasn't great, didn't make a lot of birdies... The second day was a good day but unfortunately I finished with 2 bogeys at the end...

2011-07-04T07:53:00.002-05:00

Due to weather, the tournament was reduced to 2 days tournament. The course was pretty wet on Saturday. We could lift clean and place on the fairways and in the bunker.... And in some bunkers, we could drop outside the bunker since some of then became lakes hahaha.
My day didn't go as planned. I played okay but didn't make any putts. I had 14 greens and 35 putts. Hard to score.... I finished with 76. I tied for 30th at the tournament. Now I have a week off that I will be spending in NYC with my mom that came to visit. I will post some pictures soon.

Slovak Ladies Open First Round

2011-05-26T09:28:00.002-05:00

Hi Yall

Today I started the day well by birdying the first hole... i was playing decent even though I was not hitting the ball great... I was -3 after 9 and then double my 11th hole by hitting a good shot into the par 3 but it was too much club... And then birdie again on my 13th hole. Finishing by a bogey on my 18th hole... It is always hard to finish with a bogey...
I am pretty happy with my day even though i struggled a bit on my long game...
Tomorrow is another day and I will play one shot at a time!!
Hope everyone is going well...
Thank you for following me on tour, I am having a blast!!

Hi Yall

I just came back from Portugal...
Hard first week in Europe... I shot 76-76 and missed the cut... The course was in great shape and pretty short. The scores were very low since we had a lot of wedges shot and birdies opportunities.... I didn't hit the ball well and i made very few birdies...This is why I was very far from the cut...
this week, i am going to practice before leaving next monday for Slovakia....

Daytona Beach Invitational, FL

2011-03-31T19:18:00.002-05:00

Hi Guys,

Here we are in Daytona Beach, Florida... I got here on sunday night after spending the day at Bay Hill Sunday afternoon. It was great to see the Pgatour players play. I had a great time there...
Monday, we wanted to play some home before the rain came out. We only got to play 7 holes before lighting.
Then on Tuesday, we made it through 18 holes. I played good, looked at the course, got the speed of the green, chipped around the greens. I was happy with what I got done that day. Then, I played 10 more holes on Wednesday and got to practice a little bit on my short game before the weather got pretty bad... We had a huge tornado watch here in Daytona Beach. We got rain form 4pm Wednesday to 5pm Thursday. Thursday was a relaxing day since it was impossible to go out in the rain. And I am sure the golf course was closed... Now, the rain has stopped and hopefully we get to play tomorrow. I am sure the course is going to dry out..
Tomorrow, I am playing at 9.20am. Feels good about my game, I just need to get some more confidence in my game...

Je suis arrivée dimanche soir ici a Daytona Beach en Floride après avoir été voir le PGA tour a Bay Hill dimanche après midi...
Lundi, on a pu joue que 7 trous a cause de l'orage et de la pluie que nous avons eu en Floride... Mardi, on a pu joue 18 trous, J'ai pu donc m'entrainer comme je voulais pour préparer le tournoi. J'ai eu le temps de faire beaucoup de putting pour avoir la roule, de chipper autour des greens. Je suis assez contente de mon jeu.
Mercredi, j'ai eu le temps de jouer 10 trous et de m'entrainer encore un peu avant que la pluie arrive pendant 24h. En effet, il a plu de mercredi 16h a jeudi 17h. On a donc rien pu faire aujourd'hui, jeudi.
Demain je joue a 9h20. Je suis contente de mon jeu maintenant j'ai juste besoin d'avoir un peu plus confiance avec mon jeu.

2nd round in Winter Haven

2011-03-26T15:49:00.002-05:00

This morning, I started the round good... I made 2 birdies on my 3rd and 4th holes. Then I made some mistakes that cost me a lot... I had 2 doubles back to back on my 5th and 6th holes. One was just 1 three putt after missing the green in 2. Then, on the other hole, I hit a bad tee shot which cost me 2 chips and 2 putts...
On my 9th hole, a par 5, i hit my third shot in the water.. Then, on my 11th hole, I hit my second shot on a par 4 in the bunker but it got plugged. We could barely see the ball. It took me 2 shots to get out of the trap.
Finally, on my 12th hole, i made a great putt for birdie.

I finished the day with 6 over. I didn't feel like I hit bad overall but I have hit poor shot that cost me a lot..
unfortunately, I will not make the cut... But I will continue to work hard and believe in me for the rest of the season....
See yall next week in Daytona Beach.
