Happy New Year

.                         

The last day of the year is here and it's a good time to reflect on 2007.  It's been a different year for me. Outside the ropes, my business and personal life have been tremendous.  The ANNIKA brand has come a long way and I am really proud of our team.  My Academy has opened, The ANNIKA Foundation was created, my website and blog have been launched, I hosted two professional tournaments, I am designing two more courses around the world, and the ANNIKA Collection is doing outstanding.  On the personal side, it's also been a very good year….a “Grand Slam” if I may say. I got engage this summer and life is treating me well.

Inside the ropes has been a different story. I was sidelined with an injury which limited my playing schedule. It was tough since I am such a competitor.  However, I feel great now and it was nice to end the year with a victory in Dubai.  I feel great and I am excited about 2008. My motivation is back and I am ready to get back to the top again. This means it’s time to get back to work…both on the course and in the gym!

 I wish all of you “bloggers” a Happy New Year and may all your goals and wishes come true.

Happy New Year Annika - the snow looks great - hope you guys got some ski days in.

Here's to a magnificent 2008 and getting back to the top! Can't wait for Palm Springs...

We just got a Wii - and of course I had to get PGA Tour 08 - so I'll get to play some golf with you! Should be great fun!

All the best - Jill B.

Hej Annika
I got PGA Tour 08 for PC not Wii. You are useless playing TPC Sawgrass!! Only joking! We'll get some practice then we can take on Tiger and kick his .......! We are certainly going to beat Morgan P & Christie K. Solhiem Cup revenge even if it has to be on the PC for now until Sol Cup in 2009!!
Happy New Year to you and team Annika

Hej Annika,
You are an inspiration. My golf will probably improve after this winters reading your book. Unfortunately
I must wait until spring to practice your advice due to the weather here in Sweden are not so god as you know.

Keep up the god work and get back to the top where you belong!

Best Regards
Thomas Johansson

Annika:

Just wishing you and Mike a very happy 2008.
The McGee's are great people. Have known them for a long time.

Have Mike fill you in on trimming my 4 year old son's hair at his graduation party in 1993!

Take care and hope to see you both in good old EP sometime.

Hey all,
Looks like The Golf Channel will be broadcasting the Dubai Ladies Masters on 13Feb2008 at 6AM EST.

Here's our chance to see Annika's win!!!

Patti,

I have hear that Mike used to be the barber in EP!! I will not let him touch my hair...All the best.

[Annika]

Karen,
Thanks for the support. All the best.

[Annika]

Jamie,

I appreciate your comment. All the best.

[Annika]

Jill B,

Thanks. Good luck beating me. Let me know what the score was...

[Annika]

Karen,

Thanks. All the best.

[Annika]

Tomas,

Thank you. Gott Nytt År.

[Annika]

Loom,

TPC Sawgrass is a killer. I'll work on it...good luck. Take it easy against me.

[Steve]

Annika,

No pressure but I am fully expecting to see you back on top of the rankings soon.

Mike,

I hope you wake up every morning saying the phrase "Thank You God". To bad your ability to pick NFL teams does not match your ability to pick women.

Best of luck to the both of you in 2008,
Steve

Annika & Mike,

Just wondering if you got some fresh turns during this last storm? We're talking 8 feet of pow in the Sierras...

[Mike McGee]

Hey everyone,

Sorry I've been a little lax at responding to comments. We hope all of you are having a fantastic 2008!

Patti...thanks for checking in. Hope all is well with Tyler and the gang! :)

Steve...you must be a Browns fan!! We'll be back next year!!

[Annika]

Charlotte, we are loving the new snow. Lots of powder at Northstar. It makes the turns smoother and the falls softer !!
