Dear Blog,

         It is to the saddening of my heart that I am writing to you for the last time about my 20% time project. Remember the time when I said that I was scared of this project? How about the time when I wrote about how excited I was to find my mentors or the time when I wrote to you about my first day on the practice field? My presentation about being America's Next Top Golfer will be either on December 12, 15, or 16, and it is suppose to be like a 'TedTalk' from www.ted.com. I did some online shopping about the what outfit I will be wearing on presentation day, and I found a grey Slazenger Prescot Women's Polo at www.dickssportinggoods.com, but it has been out of stock for a week and a half now. This shirt is so beautiful and cute; I wish I owned it. Also, I like the Nike Modern Rise Sporty Women's Golf Shorts from store.nike.com; they are cute, but because they are Nike, they are so expensive. Because the shirt is out of stock, and the shorts are expensive I probably will not dress up as a golfer on presentation day like I said in the previous blog entry.
            Furthermore, I had another lesson on Thursday, December 4, 2014. This day will go down in history because it was the first day where I had confidence in my golf game! When I win the US Open, I will be sure to recognize and thank my mentor for giving me this particular lesson on December 4, 2014. I was hitting balls straight AND far all the time! It was so exciting!! The best shot was hit with a 3 wood; it was straight at the target I was aiming for and 300 yards which totally beats my old consistency of hitting the ball to the right 150 yards. It was great to feel all the money and hours spent at the range pay off. All I did was remember my mistakes and the fundamentals from the previous lessons and stop thinking, and look at me now. I can hit the ball far and straight! Is that sad that I am excited about hitting the ball straight? I solidified the statement that I am a natural athlete. I am not trying to be condescending by stating that I am an athlete, but my coach/mentor and I were talking and we both agreed that there are people who know mechanics of the sport and there are people who "feel" the sport. If it does not feel right, then the player knows they did something wrong. These 'feel' athletes are natural athletes, and I would say that I fall in that category because once I stopped thinking and just played I hit the ball well.
           Lastly, I am officially finalizing my results by saying that I will not be able to play a full round of golf by the end of this project. If I present Friday, then I will definitely not. If I present Monday or Tuesday, then I might be able to go on the weekend with my grandma and play 9 holes because I could use some grandma- granddaughter bonding time. But hey, I can hit the ball straight! HOLE-IN-ONE HERE I COME.
