My name is Molly Escordi and I recently got my wish granted to spend the day with Annika at her Academy. I can't tell you how thrilling my visit with Annika was. I am so happy I had the chance to meet Annika and she is very sweet. It is still amazing to me that she had so much time to spend with me and my family and even put up with my sisters and brother at lunch. We did hear a bunch of great stories. My favorite story was about the time that she shot 59. It was great to hear about all the things that were running through her mind, especially before she made that last putt! The Annika Academy was really nice and everyone that worked there was very friendly! I could spend every day there and really have fun while working on my golf game. My family and I also enjoyed the Reunion Resort and hope to go back again. I can't thank Annika enough for this experience, I will remember it for the rest of my life. Also thank you to everyone who worked with Annika and Make-A-Wish to help organize this special day. I will be cheering for you in your tournaments and may even come to watch.
Hi Molly,
Thanks for sharing your story about your day with Annika. I'm lucky enough to have a place at Reunion and am so glad you all enjoyed the resort. It is a great place and Annika's involvement and the ANNIKA Academy sure does add to it. I have attended the Academy so I'm right there with you about spending every day there!
I saw you swinging away on The Golf Channel. What a nice swing. Keep up the good work!

I'm sure you and your family enjoyed this adventure. You will have memories to last lifetime. I caught the segment on TGC and you had pretty good swing.
Annika is caring and great person.

Hi Molly,
Saw the segment on Golf Channel about your day with Annika - what a thrill for you and your family. It's just another example of the class that Annika displays each and every day and her love of the game, willing to pass on some of her knowledge to you. Keep up with the game, you look like a winner yourself! The best of luck to you.
