Hi Annika,
I noticed you 3 putted on 6th hole. How many 3 putts in this event? I saw putt on the TV the 1st days, you don't the feel with new putter.
A word to the wise: IMO, Get back the old putter.
Go Annika!!!!

Hi Annika! How unexpected was that? We had such high hopes for your performance at Reunion. Of course, we didn't see any of the play - just tracking events on the LPGA Real Time scoring. Your tee to green stats stand up really well with the leaders - guess the new putter will be going back for a refund! All the best for a return to normal next week.

Annika,
Well, it wasn't your week, but keep your chin up and bounce back. Go, Annika!

Well, Annika. I was at the event this weekend and I had a terrific time. I was able to tour the Academy and met some of your staff, bought a hat and a shirt, and was just thrilled to see you play. It was nice to see your parents, Charlotta and Mike visibly following you as my husband and I were pretty much every play. Maybe not your best scores, but a wonderful event still. It was well-organized for fans, and the wine and cheese event was a great touch. Thanks for signing our wine glasses. Wish I'd guessed all your favorite wines correctly. Another day there may be better scores on the course, but this was top notch for us. As my husband and I see it, you are still the best ambassador in ladies' golf.

Annika,we had a great time following you around for four days at the Ginn. It was great to get back to the Academy so Helen could re-connect with her Annika tutors. Helen will not part with the towel that you were kind enough to give her to keep her warm during the rain delay! That was so thoughtful. Plus,we even got to meet Annika The Cat during our visit!!!
I was just watching the Golf Channel re-runs of the 1995 and 1996 Women's U.S. Open and I'm wondering if you still have that old putter around? You were putting lights out with it. Maybe it needs to come out of the closet for a re-run!!!

Annika, you are a class act and we feel better days are just around the corner. True champions, like you, always bounce back. Good luck next week and please thank your parents, Charlotta, Pam and the entire Annika Team for making our week so special.

Oops! I didn't mean to leave Mike out of people to thank, especially since he has such good taste when it comes to Annika Academy shirts and hats!!

Annika,
This week you had a lot going on. I'm sure you're disappointed golf you played. After hosting wine and cheese party Friday night, tee-time at 7:45a.m. Saturday morning and Sunday morning 7:10a.m. didn't help!
Next week are free to do you want.
GO ANNIKA!!!!!!

Annika,

Solid playing today. Good luck next week!!

[Heidi]

Annika,
Sorry that you didn't play better this week.
Hope that you play "Annika Golf" next week and for the rest of the season.
GO ANNIKA!

Hi Annika,
Thanks to you, your family, friends and the ANNIKA team I have had such a fantastic, unforgettable week. And how about meeting up with Annika Academy Alumni - Howard & Helen. They are fun. And there was even a cat on the course that watched you catch a birdie!

So back to NJ to continue the journey that Henri and Lotta have so well outlined for constant improvement. Sometimes I’ll take a step backwards before I jump forward again. But that jump is so rewarding .

So you and Mike be well and safe. There are exciting times to come and good golf too!

And back at you – Thanks for sharing your passion with us!

Hi Annika,

I followed you every hole Saturday and Sunday at the Ginn Open, then drove home to St. Petersburg, flipped on the Golfchannel, and it was showing highlights of your U.S. Open victories in '95 and '96. I couldn't help but notice that you made a lot of putts in those tournaments. I know you recently switched putters and struggled big time at the Ginn. Why not switch again and try the one you used earlier in your career?

Hi Annika,

I started playing golf at 42 and I've been watching every game you play and read every thing about you. Friends tell me that I have your swing (which I am very proud of!) You're my inspiration...You're still the #ONE for me!! My best score ever is 74 and I'm trying to go lower, do you have any advices for me??

Hi Annika...It was a pleasure to follow you at the Ginn even though all of us fans know you were disappointed and frustrated with your game last week. (I was the one w/ the Swedish flag stuck in the back of my cap)

Sorry, but I must admit to being amused on #17 when you yelled "I LOVE THIS GAME!!"... So much for those who think you have ice water in your veins, eh?

Good luck at the new Stanford event this week. GO ANNIKA!
