My New Year resolution is not going so well… But now I am writing a blog again!
I was in Spain this week for the European Nations cup. A great event! We played as teams of two from 20 countries. I was paired with Lotta Wahlin. We had a couple of good days but did not finish very high in the results…
The begining of the season has not been much fun for me at all. I have not gotten my game together yet. I am working hard and hope for some good results soon!
I have been all over; Brazil, Thailand, Singapore, Phoenix, Palm Springs and Spain…
I will go to Kingsmill, New York and Corning next.
Life in Sweden is great! Especially now that spring is here. I forgot how lovely spring can be. It already stays light until after 9 pm, and everyone is outside fixing their yards for summer. Or just out for a walk…
We had a crazy birthday party for Simzon and a friend of his last Sunday (he turned 6). 35 kids (30 boys and 5 girls) in the park playing baseball… We do not really have baseball in sweden, so we had to teach them first. It was a blast! In America we introduced Swedish traditions to our friends, and now we are bringing American things to Sweden. For the first time in my life I made Chocolate Chip Cookies from Dough I bought in the US, kids loved them! I made swedish cookies from scratch instead when I lived in the US, or Cinnamon rolls “Bullar” . Get some of those when you visit IKEA next time…
I am making myself hungry, going to dinner now.
I will be back soon, promise…
Adios!

Carin,
It was so nice to see you and Stephan when you were in Phx.
I had to park 2 miles away and walk about a mile to the club house. But it was worth it. Your swing looks so good. Hope you play well at Kingsmill.
Take care

When are you going to learn to hit the ball with your ‘buttocks’? –

Carin; way to go this week at Kingsmill. We had a blast watching you, and Cole is still exhausted from his night at Busch Gardens with Simzon. Hit them long and straight, and we will see you in a month.

Hi Carin
It was great to hear you are going to Corning next week. Hope you don’t mind if I get your autograph. I watched you on the putting green at the Phoenix Open but didn’t want to bother you. You looked as great as ever.

Can relate (sort of) to that 35 kid baseball game at the park…my wife and I have 8 grandsons (ages 1-7), they love baseball !
They would go for your chocolate chip cookies too !
Thank you for sharing your moments…

Hej från Montreal Carin! Hoppas att ni mår bra! Nice site! Starting to plan my trip to Sweden for the Fall. Hope I will be able to see you, Stefan and the boys this time over! We had a nice Midsommar on Sunday – the food and weather were gorgeous! Remember when we had it in Rochester? Hälsa familjen! Puss och kram, Lesley F.

Hello Carin!
It was good to see you at the Safeway Classic, Portland, OR! I am Danish and there are not many players from Scandivania. Also, I live in Portland and enjoy playing at Pumpkin Ridge because you can’t take it too seriously.
So, you moved from Phoenix AZ to Sweden? After I finish my Masters degree, I want to move south for more sunny days, and a work schedule that allows 9-holes on Thursday morning. My dad added those extra 9-holes every week and his game improved to a two handicap.
I have some concerns about women’s golf since Women’s Golf Digest is no longer published, but Golf Digest is attempting to address our audience. Am glad that Annika is on the LPGA Board. We need to seek ways to improve our individual games (as examples) for promoting and encouraging other women into the sport.
Thanks for posting 2009 Tour Schedule and I look forward to seeing you on the leaderboard! Best wishes.

Carin,
Nice play at the CN. Anything under par was awsome, based on the coditions. Continued good play and enjoy a little rest and relaxation.
Where do you go next?

Finaly I asked you to autograph an 8×12 photo at the CN Canadian Open in Calgary Canada. Thanks Carin , I will treasure it forever.
