LPGA LOTTE CHAMPIONSHIP - KO'OLINA GOLF COURSE

MY FIRST SIGHTING OF YANI TSENG.
#1 WOMANS GOLFER IN THE WORLD

LPGA LOTTE CHAMPIONSHIP
KO'OLINA GOLF COURSE

Wow....what a dream come true.  To meet Yani Tseng and get her autograph with my daughter.  Yani signed our Lotte Championship flag and our VIP pass.  We had two gloves for her to sign but she politely told us that it was too difficult to sign gloves.  This was the final round day and her time was precious.  We caught her during warm up as she entered the driving range.  Also met Natalie Gulbus and many other professional golfers who were very happy to sign our flag.  LPGA players are more friendly and approachable than PGA mens players.  This was pretty much the verdict by everyone we talked to at the Lotte Championship.  Most all of the woman on the tour were gracious and accommodating when being asked for autographs and photographs.  Best place to be is on the practice putting green and driving range prior to tee off and at the 18th hole scorers tent after each round.  We walked many miles following the golfers.  Spent most of the time following Yani Tseng.  This was a fantastic event and I really hope Lotte brings this LPGA event back to Hawaii.  Click below to see my other blog post on the LPGA Lotte Championship:
