Christine Wong 2014 Tour Season: Day 3/4 (Wednesday and Thursday)

Day 3:

After recovering from my 24 hour travel day I was still feeling tired from the travel day and right into playing a round of golf. But Wednesday was a much needed practice day. There were two pro-ams which restricted the players from being on the course at all, so I spent about 4.5 hours practicing which consisted of getting a feel for the green conditions, working on my ball striking and especially my tan. In the last 3 days I have been in Florida I can say that my skin is a much darker shade with a burn that is cooked to medium rare. I guess that’s what happens when I have been hiding in Vancouver for 5 months away from the warm sun…!

After spending a day at the course practicing, my roommate Amy Eneroth and I headed back to our host family’s house to rest up for her early pro-am tee time the following morning (we shared a car so I had to wake up at the same time to take her to the course).

We had a relaxing evening having a salad and rotisserie chicken for dinner and maybe…a little bit of homemade strawberry shortcake for dessert :P

We winded down the night and I began my new read called, “Divergent”.

Day 4:

Early wake up call!! Had an early breakfast to take my roomie to her 8 am pro-am tee time and I was restricted from the practice facilities as I was not playing in the pro-am. What did I do with 4 hours of my time you ask? I slept in our comfortable Toyota Corolla rental car in the parking lot for an hour and decided to go for a manicure and pedicure at about 9 am :) Here is a picture of the sun peaking through the fog in the early Florida morning:

I relaxed and took my time getting back to the golf course to practice and get 9 holes in before the first round begins tomorrow. I had a great time on the course today catching up with an old Team Canada teammate, Sara-Maude Juneau and made a new friend name Ashleigh Albrecht who is also a rookie on the tour.

I took a few snapshots while out there in the hot sun today and even snuck in a selfie along with the classy drinks left in the coolers for the pro-am competitors!

Loving my new LIJA gear :D

I am really looking forward to meeting and making friends with girls on this tour as it can be intimidating at times being a lone rookie! I am sure I will get the hang of things because some girls have offered to help give advice and tips to get me through the year. For them I am thankful to be here in this positive environment :)

Experience of the day: I had my first Dunkin Donut experience today and thoroughly enjoyed my caramel iced coffee
