Parker and I had the incredible honor of attending the 17th Annual Courage Awards with our good friend DJ Gregory! Parker was invited as the presenter for DJ's 2010 Courage Award. The award is presented by the Tempe Sports Authority Foundation to courageous Athletes who inspire people across the nation. The night was filled with wonderful people, all with inspiring stories of courage. It was a fabulous evening and we thank the Tempe Sports Authority Foundation and DJ for including us!

We just got back from a fabulous get away in Sun Valley. It was a perfect relaxing weekend to recharge the batteries for a demanding golf season ahead. We love that town and enjoyed a wonderful vacation with great friends! Here are some highlights...

It always seems like I upload the photos from the West Coast Swing around end of March! It is such a crazy and fun time that it just flies by before we have a chance to share it all! Here are some of the highlights from our journey!

Blessing in a Backpack Program in Hawaii

The PGA TOUR Wives Association partnered with Blessings in Backpack and Friends of Hawaii Charities (Charity sponsor of the Sony Open) to feed Hawaii's underprivileged school children. The program provides undernourished school children food for the weekends. Participating schools have seen dramatic increases in test scores, reduced number of school nurse visits on Monday, increased attention/focus in the classrooms!

Blessings in Backpack Program in Phoenix
The PGA TOUR Wives Association partnered with the Thunderbirds to enable children from 7 different schools to now benefit from the Blessings in a Backpack program! It was wonderful to see this program expand in Arizona and make a difference for the children in our own community.

2010

Parker and I are loving being back in Hawaii. Its been a full year since he has been back home. We've spent this week catching up with family friends, and of course fitting some beach time and practice time in.

We had a great off season spending most of the time at home. We were able to get in a great routine and enjoy getting settled into our new place. Our highlight was probably hosting our very first Thanksgiving at our home. It was so much fun and hope will be a tradition for many years to come!

Right now Parker is on the Big Island hosting his junior clinic at Waikoloa! It is always such a treat to be back there and spend some time with the kids.

Parker has continued to put in a lot of hard work on his swing and has been focused on developing his strength and conditioning during this off season... or "pre season" as we like to call it. Now that we have arrived in Hawaii, we are truly excited to embark on the new season ahead.

Looking forward to kicking it all off at Sony next week!

Happy 2010!

Kristy & Parker
