HELP IS ON THE WAY FOR THE UK LADYS GOLF TEAM--

LAST WEEK A YOUNG GAL FROM MURRIETA, CA PLAYED IN A QUALIFICATION ROUND FOR THE LADIES US OPEN EVENT THIS WEEK--AFTER THE EVENT SEEMED TO BE OVER THIS GAL WAS TIED WITH 2 OTHER PLAYERS FOR THE LAST OPEN SPOT--

SHE HAD NOT YET RECEIVED HER HS DIPLOMA--

SHE CALMY WALKED TO THE FIRST PLAYOFF HOLE--A PAR 5--WITH A LOT OF CONFIDENCE SINCE SHE HAD BIRDIED THAT HOLE EVERYTIME SHE HAD PLAYED IT DURING THE TOURNAMENT--

SHE SMOKED A DRIVER DOWN THE MIDDLE--HIT A SCREAMING 3 WOOD ON IN 2--AND 2 PUTTED FOR THAT LAST OPEN SPOT--

SHE WILL BE PLAYING THIS WEEK IN THE LADY'S US OPEN--THEN ON TO UK FOR THE FALL--

I WILL LOOK UP HER NAME AND LIST IT ASAP--[I LIVE NEARBY]

THE YOUNG LADY'S NAME IS ASHLEIGH ALBRECHT--SHE JUST GRADUATED FROM MURRIETA VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL IN MURRIETA, CA--

SHE MET MYRA BLACKWELDER, UK'S LADY COACH FOR THE LADIES TEAM WHEN COACH BLACKWELDER WAS CADDYING FOR HER OWN DAUGHTER IN THE US WOMEN'S AMEUTEUR--

COACH BLACKWELDER ASKED ASHLEIGH ABOUT ATTENDING UK--ASHLEIGH HAD A LOT OF OFFERS AT ALL THE MAJOR GOLF COLLEGES--BUT ASLEIGH SAID ON HER VISITS TO THOSE SCHOOLS THINGS JUST DIDN'T CLICK--

SO SHE CONTACTED COACH BLACKWELDER AND VISITED UK--THE SCHOOL--THE CITY--SHE FELL IN LOVE WITH IT--AND THIS COMING FALL SHE WILL ENTER UK--HOPEFULLY WITH A GREAT EXPERIENCE IN THE LADY'S US OPEN STARTING TOMORROW--

WATCH HER ON TV--SHE'S EXCITING--YOU WILL HEAR A LOT MORE FROM HER AT UK AND THE LPGA IN THE FUTURE--
