AND HERE WE GO
Thank you for joining me on what has quite literally been a lifetime journey. Meeting my mentor and beloved PGA professional, George J. Pulver, Sr. was a turning point in my life, not only from a teenager’s golfing perspective and trajectory, but from a life-lessons and education perspective that continues today.
Before we go any farther, I must say thank you to the Metropolitan Women’s Golf Association and in particular artist Kaz Kurihara, for allowing me to use their whimsical and beautiful creation as the header for this section of the website. I was their guest speaker for their year-end meeting that was held via Zoom and this was the welcome screen, even including my puppy, Rupert, in the center before our “gotcha day” of December 10, 2020. I so enjoyed that evening and applaud all you did to make golf not only happen but thrive during the Covid spring, summer and fall.
In this space, I’ll take you behind the scenes of writing this book, finding the content and the crazy crossroads that brought people together to make this happen and hopefully give you insight into just why this project was both so powerful and personal.
Among the chief lessons I learned while writing Letters to a Future Champion is that your work is never really done. Writing a book is not the checklist sort of experience I thought it would be. It is a creative process that is constantly winding along. When you think you’ve finished a chapter, another bit of content turns up from an unexpected source, or a new element of the book must be added (think index—whew, that was a big one!)
So, thank you again WMGA and Kaz … and thank all of you for reading. I’ll be updating on a regular basis and maybe even throw in a bit about looking forward to the Masters and how I prepare for that week as we approach the first men’s major of the year on CBS.
