More Golf Continued from page 7

My family and I walked around the golf course ALL day. We got a pretzel and some lemonade and sat on a hill to watch the golfers putt on the 18th green.

My golf teacher Mrs. Cori, from Girls Golf of Phoenix, took me behind the scenes in the player media center, which is where they interview the players for television. She took me to the famous 16th hole, then I got to meet pro golfer Michelle Wie West and see where the players park. That was really cool. The players were so nice.

I had a lot of fun at the WM Phoenix Open and hope I get to go again next year.
