Charlotta checking in for the first time but not the last.
Today here it started to feel like December and Christmas because it was only 40 degrees outside so I was waring 3 layers of jackets but I was still cold. Just last week it was 85 here so it was a big change in just a few days.
Now after a nice lunch I'm warmed up so it's time for me and Henri to go back out and work with our guests on their short game.
Just a short message this time but I will be back soon.
A final note- I'm very proud of Annika for coming back after her injury and winning this weekend in Dubai.
Happy Holidays

Hi Lotta,
Iām sure glad we had our lesson last week when it was in the 80ās! We put into play a few of the things we worked on after our lesson. Chipping went very well and every time we got it close we said ā Charlotta taught me that! We will continue to practice in our golf cage up here in NJ until we see you again in January. So looking forward to more of your expert help.
One other thing ā your sister wants me to give her strokes. I said of course and would check in with you to see just how many strokes! But then she won that tournament in Dubai (GREAT NEWS)so I will need that lesson time with you more than ever!
Thanks for your help.
Happy Holidays and travel safely.

Lotta: It's good to hear from you. If I can ask, what are your competitive plans for the upcoming year?

Lotta,
Great to hear from ya!! Annika The Cat is just having a ball with her lessons and has a challenge sent out to Annika as far as we can tell from previous blogs. That's gonna be fun.
Anyway, sounds like the services you guys are providing is A #1, FIRST class in every way.
Eventually, "my time time will come"!! So see you then!!

Annika The Cat,
I'm very glad you enjoyed the lesson and that you credit me when you hit it close.
Today was a lot warmer and not so windy. A much more pleasant day for golf.
Have a nice Holiday and look forward to see both of you back in Orlando in January.
Take care,
Charlotta
PS. I think Annika should give you storkes.

Nick,
I will not play that many tournaments next year due to my status on the LPGA Tour and also since tha ANNIKA Academy is open untill end of April and reopen in October. I'm hoping I will be able to play up to 5 events over the summer.
Thank you,
Charlotta

Nick. I'm trying to convince Charlotta to employ me as a caddy next year during the summer. She hits the ball great and her short game is impressive! Of course she's a great instructor as well so the Academy is lucky to have her there.

Thanks Lotta about your take on those strokes. But I think we can give your sister strokes if we limit her to using three clubs. She can play from her usual tee box. Even with this format - I know it will be tough!
I'm glad you had better weather today. And I see that Christian would like to caddy for you next summer. I guess he will need to get his surrogate mom, Pam's, permission.
Looking forward to January. Already have our tickets.
