He kept me somewhat calm and level-headed during the round. Day Six (Friday, April 5): All 72 entrants in the Augusta National Women’s Amateur are invited to play a practice round at the Augusta National Golf Club. It was chilly early in the day, but it warmed up and became a perfect day for golf. The course was in ideal condition, just as expected. Not a blade of grass was out of place! I was able to play with my friends and having my brother, parents, and boyfriend there for the day added to the overall enjoyment. Getting the chance to share these memories with them was so special for me. I don’t remember my actual score, because I was more into just enjoying the walk and the opportunity to get to hit shots on Augusta National. I loved being able to see those iconic holes from the player’s perspective and took several really cool pictures. I would have to say my favorite holes on the golf course are the 10th and 13th. They are unique and favor a draw, which is my preferred shot shape. The flowers and perfectly manicured grounds on the 13th is something I will not soon forget. We also played the Par 3 course, which is the first year they have allowed ANWA participants to play it. I shot three-under-par. A couple of those tee shots almost went in the hole for an ace. “It was a dream day! The entire week was incredible and something I will never forget. Thank-you Augusta National for the invitation and the opportunity to compete in such a landmark event for women’s golf.” Indiana Golf Journal
