Golf Confessions

Annika Sorenstam did a lot for the women’s tour.  She was on her way to possibly setting an all time win mark, presently held by Kathy Whitworth at 88 victories.

Annika puts everything in to her game, she is the ultimate competitor, winning is what she is all about.  And because she wants to be the best at what she does, you may not see her play in very many events after she leaves the tour on a full time basis.  It is not likely that she will want to compete just for the sake of competing, she will only play if she thinks she can win.

Sorenstam came along at the right time for the LPGA, the tour was struggling and needed someone to step up and bring some positives to the tour.  She was very hard to beat and yet she carried herself in a manner that everyone looked up to her and wanted to follow in her foot steps.  She is the only woman to shoot a 59 in a tour event and she has 10 majors to her credit.

The LPGA will surely miss her presence.  But Annika will be sucessful in her other endeavors.  She has a golf course architecture business and a clothing line.  These other ventures will prosper now that she will have more time to donate to them.
