Brit Blog: What I Did Over Summer Break Pt. IIIKatie and I were looking forward to leaving hot and humid Springfield and spending the week close to the Jersey Shore in Atlantic City. Once we arrived in Atlantic City we headed to the hotel, which happened to be the host hotel for the LPGA ShopRite Classic. It was nice to wake up in the morning and look out the window to see the golf course across the street.7/28/2010
Brit Blog: What I Did Over Summer Break Pt. IIMy next stop: Denver, Colorado to stay with golf buddies for my next event as well as make my professional debut in the Colorado Open held at Green Valley Ranch golf course. I wasn't nervous about it at all because I had been playing constant competitive golf since December, but I was definitely excited and ready to start my dream job. The field consisted of LPGA and other professionals as well as respected amateurs. I felt comfortable because I knew a lot of the players and I also knew I was just as good as anyone who was competing. After three days of golf, the tournament ended and I placed 45th out of 112 players. I wasn't pleased with my performance because my putting let me down each day (something I've been struggling with lately). But that's how golf goes and it just wasn't my week. On the bright side of things, I made the cut which means I made a paycheck. Not a bad start to my professional career!7/23/2010

I recently finished my eligibility on the Women's Golf team this past spring after helping my team finish another successful season.
