Did you guess Tiger Woods? No, it’s Annika Sorenstam!
This weekend our daughter Hannah was selected to participate in the Annika Foundation’s, “Share My Passion” golf clinic at Royal Golf Club in Lake Elmo.
Hannah received instruction from local coaches like Coach Brandon from Sigette Golf School as well as college players from the best teams in the country including Clemson, Minnesota, Iowa State, Duke, and Central Florida.
Annika also visited the fitness, driving, putting and chipping stations to connect with the girls and give instruction including this clip of Hannah putting.
After the station instruction was complete, Annika spoke to the entire group, sharing insights on golf while college players demonstrated the lessons she taught.
Annika’s advice extended far beyond the golf course, sharing her perspective that golf and life are similar in how she approaches focus and achievement. In addition, both life and golf can be hard, although very rewarding too!
I am thankful Hannah was able to participate in such a cool event and that I had the opportunity to see it first hand.
I have a feeling that I will be reflecting on what Annika said about golf and life with Hannah for years to come!
