Off to a tri-state tournament swing in the Midwest
This week I am back on the road to Illinois, Ohio and Indiana for three tournaments on the Futures Tour. Yesterday Monday, June 12th, I did not qualify for the U.S. Women's Open. Although I was exempt from the local qualifyer because I played in the final last year, I just did not play well in the one-day 36-hole loop here at the Hacienda Golf Club in La Habra heights, California.Andy my caddie and Doc Parent my mental coach are both telling me that I am placing too many high expectations on myself rather than just go out there and play one shot at a time. Now that I had the night to sleep on it, I realize that I did put too much pressure on myself. I guess because I played in the U.S. Open last year, I felt that I had to make it this year.
My friends, my family, all were excited to make the trip out there. So I felt failure was not an option, and with each bad shot I raised the bar even further for the next one. Eight birdies, a phenomenal 45-ft sinker, and decent ball striking were not enough to make up for stupid bogeys.
In any case, I've put this behind me now, and I am going to focus on the Championship Tournament of the Futures Tour this week in Springfield, Illinois - The Michelob Ultra Futures.
On another subject, I want to thank Stacy Salomon of Golf for Beginners. She did a great interview and added unique insights into her feature on me. Part I is up on her website now, Part II is coming up at the end of this week.
My new Photobook from Picaboo.com is now ready. Thanks to my friend who created it for me. It looks fantastic! You can order it in soft cover in various colors from $14.95 or you can make it really nice in hardcover format with linen finish starting at $39.95 And if you do, mail it to me when you get it, I'll autograph it for you ;)
I just loved the free download of the picaboo.com software. It took less than 15 mns to do my photobook. Now I am going to do, all by myself, a bunch of family photobooks with the hundreds of pictures that have been stored in my hard drive for the last four years! That will sure pass time on the 5-hr flight to Chicago today.
Finally, a great website was launched this week. Ladies on Tour. It is soon going to become one of the most comprehensive websites for tournament info and ladies tour pros profiles. Check it out and register for their updates and features.
Cheers,
Megan

Wow! I have never played 36 holes of golf in one day. That must be exhausting!
I just saw your pics at picaboo and was highly impressed.
Good luck at the Michelob. As always, I'm rooting for ya!
Megan,
You are right, there aren't enough sites about ladies tour or ladies teaching golf, hence the idea. Thank you for your support and when I attend the next LET event, I shall make a point of thanking you in person.
Saw the blog late last night - great, and a big thank you!

We're rooting for you Megan. keep it long & down the middle and sink a few more putts...!
Meg,
That picaboo software definitely looks pretty cool. One more possible way to make money off the Web -- we're always looking for those, right?
Tear it up tomorrow

Meg,
Thank you for using the Picaboo software. it is pretty cool isn't it? more than a 100,000 people have used it to make photobooksin the last 4 months we launched it , and we love it! they all say the same things you said, it is simple, easy to use, and you don't have to upload your pictures on some server, you can actually work offline to leisurely make your book.
we can't wait to print your family books! and more of your tour pic books...
When you have a break, come visit us in Palo Alto where our offices are located in the same office Google was launched, and we can go play a round at the Stanford Golf Course...Tiger's alma mather
Keep'em straight,
Kevin
Megan,
