• Bubba Watson

    Bubba Watson is known for doing things differently, like having a pink shaft in his driver, firing golf balls through water melons and being one quarter of the golf boy band “The Golf Boys.”

  • Golf Insurance Matters

    The latest article in our how to series turns the spotlight on some of the unexpected things that can happen at the driving range – from ricochets to self-inflicted injuries – and why it pays to be insured. With winter closing in and less daylight hours in which to hit the course the best place to keep swinging is at the driving range. The driving range is a great hangout for golfers of all skill levels and abilities. Given that your local driving range could be filled with hackers and heroes it’s not impossible that an innocent trip to whack some balls could end in disaster, injury or a sizeable legal bill.

  • La Reservae Golf Club, Costa Del Sol

    A new course designed by Cabell B. Robinson, La Reserva Club De Golf had only recently opened but I would never have guessed. On arrival it was obvious the course was in perfect condition. The opening hole at La Reserva is a straight par four with well designed bunkers and an attractive green – a good, if understated opener, but on the 2nd tee, however, the front nine opens up before you and you get an idea of the challenge that lies ahead. Set out in a small valley with wonderful changes in elevation, attractive contours and great scenery, the next eight holes weave back in forth in fantastic fashion.

  • Lie of the Land

    A caddie at The Old Course at St Andrews, Turnberry or Troon would tell you that it takes time to get to know the subtleties and nuances of links land and learn the bounce of the ball. Often slopes and natural features can funnel the ball towards the hole, squeeze extra yards from a drive or prevent a ball from going in a hazard.

  • Thorpenes Golf Club

    TA Hotel Collection, owners of Thorpeness Hotel and Golf Club in Suffolk, are seeking to attract more golf tourists to the county with the launch of a new trail combining real ale tours and classic seaside golf courses. Thorpeness Golf Club is already one of Southern England’s leading stay-and-play golf break destinations thanks to its 36-bedroom hotel, James Braid designed 18-hole course and location in the picture-perfect holiday village of Thorpeness; a Suffolk tourist hot-spot.

KATIE BURNETT RECAPS HER ROOKIE SEASON


Another season has come to an end and with that LPGA.com caught up with several rookies to get their thoughts on their first season on Tour, what part of their game grew this year and advice for the next class of rookies. This week we check in with Katie Burnett to see what she has to say about 2013 and what she'll be doing to prepare for next year.

LPGA: What part of your game has grown the most this year? 
BURNETT: I would say my mental game has grown the most being able to deal with the pressure and stress week in and week out on the LPGA.

LPGA: What did you do in your spare time when on the road?
BURNETT: Watch movies and go out and explore the town or city we are in.

LPGA: What was the biggest transition for you this season?
BURNETT: Just getting used to the ropes of a new tour and new people.

LPGA: When practicing do you listen to you listen to music?
BURNETT: I listen to everything. You can literally find almost every genre of music on my iPod.

LPGA: What is your go to club in your bag?
BURNETT: I don't just have one, I love my putter and my wedges.

LPGA: What was your best moment on tour this season?
BURNETT: Shooting 30 on the front nine of St. Andrews and leading the RICOH Women's British Open through 15 holes.

LPGA: What do you wish someone had told you early in the season?
BURNETT: Just remember to always stay positive and have as much fun as possible because everyday I am living my dream.

LPGA: Did you have an “ah ha” moment this year?
BURNETT: Not really, just realized the more fun I had and the more I was smiling and enjoying myself the better I played.

LPGA: Earlier this year we asked what tournament you were looking forward to most – now we want to know what was your favorite, the best tour stop on your schedule this year.
BURNETT: My favorite would probably have to be the Kingsmill Championship because I loved the course, it was in amazing shape, and the crowds were amazing. Loved the atmosphere. I would have said the RICOH Women's British Open at St. Andrews because I don't know how it gets any better than that, but the Kingsmill Championshp is my favorite course that we will be returning to in 2014.

LPGA: With the season now over what are you planning on doing during the down time?
BURNETT: I am just going to work on my game for the upcoming season. I just recently got back from a vacation in South Africa.

LPGA: How will you prepare for the 2014? 
BURNETT: Just trying to fine tune parts of my long game and continue working on the strong parts of my game as well.

LPGA: What advice do you have for next year’s class of rookies?
BURNETT: Just remember to have fun and stay positive. This is not a sprint it is a marathon.
