I wanted to share a special moment with you. This afternoon I was honored by Oak Hill Country Club with the "Hills of Fame Award." Oak Hill has hosted many great championships, and they have recognized individuals for over 30 years with this award. The criteria is to "have inspired others, made significant personal contributions to the game and to have achieved remarkable success." I was very humbled to have been chosen by the committee and celebrated by it's members. It was a memorable ceremony.
Now I'm headed to bed and hope for a great day on the links tomorrow!
Annika, Congratulations on your prestigous award, it is well deserved. Your fans are so proud of you and your " class act " on the golf course and in life. Play well this weekend and best of luck! Connie

Not surprising that you would receive such a great honor. You have inspired me along with many others. Good luck in the second round. I will be in your gallery and will keep my fingers crossed.

Hi Annika,
What a terrific award! The criteria describes you purrfectly. And, as always, you remain humble and not taking your success for granted.
Well done and paws are crossed for birdie golf on Day Two!

All I can say is ditto to all the above statements. You can catch up and pass everyone today. I'll be cheering for you.

Congratulations Annika!
I am pretty sure that if we looked you up in Webster's it would say - amongst other things - "inspires others, makes significant personal contributions to the game and has achieved remarkable success."
You are a guiding light for so many others.
Hit the ball well today and here's hoping the putts go in.
