I just got back from Florida... had a great outing last Sunday with several FUTURES Tour players and Lisa Mickey, the tour's communications director.
Lisa has been helping me a lot in promoting my novel. Lisa brought along Mary Bryan, former LPGA player and ESPN golf commentator.
Mary had read my book and told me she loved it. She asked me for several copies to pass along to her friends in the women's golf world and broadcasting. She said the novel is a great promotion for the game and a story that every fan of women's golf should enjoy very much.
I will be heading to Lakeland next month for the first FUTURES event of the season. The sponsor of that event, Bright House Networks, has purchased 400 copies of my book.
I am talking to organizers of several other FUTURES and LPGA events about similar deals for their VIP gift bags.
Have included a couple of photos of the fun outing we had with Mary, Lisa, and the FUTURES players.
I will be caddying for Amy Schmucker in the Lakeland event. I caddied for her at the event up here in Concord last summer. She is a great kid with LPGA potential, if you ask me. She was the captain of the University of Michigan women's golf team before she turned pro last year.
Liz Stuart, one of the other players, will be a contestant on the next Big Break series that begins airing on the Golf Channel in April. Liz was one of the FUTURES players who inspired me to write the novel.
