the game of golf and why she continues to play the game. “My dad. I loved it,” said Clark. “My dad played a little bit growing up. You know, I really love it (golf). I love being outside, being with my friends. It’s a fun way to spend the afternoon or the morning, whatever it is, with your family and friends. That’s what I love about it.” While she was in Florida under warm and sunny weather conditions and played a sport that is drastically different than basketball, Clark did talk about what she’s doing in the offseason to improve her level of play on the basketball court next season. “Besides the actual basketball skill part, I think getting stronger,” concluded Clark. “I’m in the weight room a lot just building that strength. It was hard going straight from the college season to the professional season. “ Despite the fact that Clark is now in the midst of basketball’s off-season, she remains busy and on the go. “I’m still so busy,” added Clark. “I got to get things done that I haven’t been able to do during basketball season. Everybody thinks I have a bunch of free time, but I have been busy. I like to keep myself in a routine and working out, whatever it is. It’s been a lot of fun and I enjoyed it.” Sorenstam, the LPGA Hall of Famer was especially impressed by the WNBA superstar. “She has some power off the tee,” remarked Sorenstam. “Very thankful to her to take the time to be a part of our event. She’s an athlete. You can tell.” When her basketball days are over, could we see Caitlin Clark trying to make it onto the LPGA Tour as a professional golfer? Pat Eastman Pat Eastman
