Elkington and I at Tao in October

I was talking golf with mi padre tonight, which is always a funny thing. I was telling him how I like Brett Quigley a lot and how cool he was when I talked to him at the BHCC, and I really wanted him to win after his two 2nd place finishes. My dad has literally loved golf for decades, and I feel a little bit guilty that I've been into it for about 6 months yet have had all these great experiences. When I went to my first tournament, Jessica and I made friends with Elkington within 10 minutes of walking on the course, and that's really what started it all. I have a completely addictive personality (that's why I don't do drugs, I know I would never just try something once!) so once I get into something I really, really get into it. So now golf has consumed me, and all I've been thinking about the past week is how I can get to the Zurich in New Orleans next month. I can even explain how much I love tournaments, there's just nothing like it.

I convinced my dad and his buddies to let me tag along with them on Thursday, on the condition that I walk (I shot down their excuse that there wouldn't be room in the cart). My shoulder injury from when I flipped an ATV in September had flared up, so I think swinging a club will be out of the question, but I can at least be around golf all day. Plus I'm thinking of looking into working at one of the many courses in my area this summer, so I'll have an opportunity to chat up an acquaintance who does the hiring!

A funny and accurate Elk quote- imagine it with the Aussie accent- "Naw, Kates a gawf gal now!" I am totally a Gawf Gal.
