Julieta Granada, who won last year’s ADT championship and set an LPGA record for a $1 million first place check, is currently T2 (at -1) at the weather-delayed U.S. Open at Pine Needles. But did you know she is also a blogger?
Already this season, she’s had two top 10 finishes and earned over $250K. You’d think she’d be too busy or have better things to do than blog. But no. This sweet young player from Paraguay has agreed to blog about her preparation and time leading up to the HSBC Women’s World Match Play Championship (July 19-22 at Wykagyl Country Club in New Rochelle, NY).
Originally, HSBC thought it would be too much to ask of a golfer and set their sights on getting a caddy to blog about their pro’s preparation. Understandably, they are thrilled to have Julieta, a “self-proclaimed computer addict,” according to James Gregson, and anticipate at least 10 posts from her in the month leading up to the event. I just checked her blog and she posted from Pine Needles before play began. She discusses her preparation, her off time (including her family and her dog, Bimba) and much more. Her writing is as charming as she is and it’s so great to see regular updates and insights from an LPGA professional. Kudos to HSBC for this great score!
Comments are enabled, so she might even reply if you want to communicate with this superstar of a golf chick. Great job, Julieta! And good luck!
