I am still in celebrating mode… Plus, Christmas is coming up and then, it will be 2009 before I know it! Now that our tour schedule is out, I can already start planning. My season will start in Hawaii in February. More specifically, my first tournament will be in Oahu at the Turtle Bay resort! I’m really looking forward to going back where I had my amazing Big Break V: Hawaii experience a few years ago! It will bring back great memories!

My off-season has been so busy so far. I’m enjoying being home with my husband, Brian and not traveling. I just came back from a short trip to Sarasota to spend time with my sponsor, Universal North America. I played golf at the Ritz-Carlton with the president, Rick Espino. That same evening, I attended Universal’s Holiday party, which was a beautiful event at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Sarasota. It was great to see the whole Universal family, as I feel like I’m part of it!

Since I got back home, I’ve been working hard on my game with my teacher, Carl Rabito. My swing mechanics are looking better and better each day! I’m extremely motivated to do what it takes to be ready for next year! I even did a photo shoot yesterday. I’ve done quite a few shoots before but this time I had to coordinate everything myself… Believe me, it’s lot of work and very time-consuming. But it was so much fun to play “model” for half a day. I’ve also been cooking almost every night- something I don’t get to do much on the road. I really believe that cooking is be a small passion of mine. Coming from France and being brought up by my Korean parents, I take the joy of eating and food to the next level. I love all kinds of flavors and try to create unique recipes. More importantly, I like to know what is in what I’m eating. It’s safe to say that eating out is not the healthiest alternative… Brian and I are spending the rest of the year at home and I am VERY happy about it!!!

Finally, I’ll leave you with the quote of the week: “IF is a dirty word” by Jason Ferrario, LPGA tour caddie.

Until next time,
