I entered the sport very late in my life (I am an avid amateur player in another sport for most of my life), but have to say that golf has been kind to me because I thoroughly enjoy the game and all of its life aspects. Watching the KIA Classic yesterday (Thursday, March 24), my first LPGA live watch experience, was a thrill for me — more so because I got to meet so many stars. But unlike one who shall be nameless for her cold candor, there were so many others who smiled and shook hands, but none as this stellar player in particular who made such a tremendous dent in my good impression.
Unlike the former player I mentioned, the latter (a young lady, old enough to be my daughter), still managed to come out to greet the fans and finish signing each and every souvenir item, despite having ended with a not-so-good round. A fan from behind me asked her to stay and keep on signing, to which she responded, "Don’t worry — I’m not going anywhere."
Paula Creamer, if you’re reading this, you are a great ambassador for the LPGA and I (and am sure countless of other fans) are grateful for your wonderful nature. I am glad you don’t take golf home with you at the end of the day.
Yes, please "don’t go anywhere" — but while you continue to strive to compete and excel in only your very best at the end of each golfing day, you are still a wonderful human being and I thank you for not going "anywhere", but only that of staying within yourself.
Thanks again, and please thank your mom for me, too. I’m happy for her as she must really be very proud of you. May the heavens continue to bless your heart with all my best wishes and more power to you, Paula!
