Michelob Ultra Open at Kingsmill
Hi From Kingsmill, Virginia!
The Michelob Ultra Open was voted "Best LPGA Event in 2007" by players. They spoil us this week. From start to finish the volunteers, staff and Michelob team take great care of us. Some players got in as late as 1:00am on Monday, and the volunteers from Michelob Ultra were at the airport to welcome them and drive them 50 miles to the resort. Wow!
Michelob Ultra is one of my sponsors so I have a great time hosting events and seeing everyone from the company. I hosted the draw party on Monday, and We had a Pro-Am party Tuesday complete with live music and fireworks. The Pro-Am Tournament is Wednesday. My team made "Team Natalie" hats. I was flattered! The guys looked so cute too! On Friday, Busch Gardens will open the park exclusively for players, staff, friends and family and they are throwing us a beer garden party. Saturday is the Tony Pontura VIP dinner. This is a great night because we have a 20 person dinner that overlooks the James River. Lots to do!
The course is in the best shape I have ever seen. The weather is perfect! I am excited to play tomorrow. I tee off at 12:45 tomorrow. After struggling the last few weeks,I look forward to the weekly opportunity to play well. That's what is so great about the Tour, and golf in general; there is always a new week and chance to move up the money list. I hope everyone gets a chance to watch on TV. It's a spectacular place and event. At the very least, you should all take a peek when they show hole #17. The 170-yard par-three that runs along the river. I love the tee box. It has a panoramic view of the river and you can see the naval carriers and battleships. It's a sight to behold!
This week I am staying with my friend Joe Latchem. I have stayed at his house for 6 years. I always enjoy coming to visit and staying with him. He leaves me thoughtful cards of good luck and motivational quotes every morning. He prints out the weather reports and comes out and cheers me on for each hole, every day. A lot of the girls stay in private housing on Tour. It's a home away from home and we all have made some great friends on the road.
Hope everyone is great. Happy Mothers' day to all the mothers out there. My mom is coming in Thursday this week and I am looking forward to spending Mothers' Day with her.
