I finally did it! I earned my first paycheck last week at LPGA International - Jones Course! It didn't even cover the entry fee, but it felt so good! Relief really isn't even a strong enough word to describe that feeling I got when I looked at the final leaderboard and saw that I had finished in the final position that earned money. The emotion was like a relieved/excited/I'm about to cry/I'm so proud/why was that so hard/I just want to jump up and down kind of moment. I haven't felt that way in a while and it was well worth the wait. The 7 weeks before that were anything but easy. I questioned my swing, my clubs, my psychological state, and my level of patience. There were a lot of kinks, but I was finally coming around to trusting my target and make committed swings/chips/putts. I'm still not quite there yet, but just getting that first paycheck helped me to mentally tell myself that this is real life and I can do it.
