That stay was such a positive experience she thought it would be fun to do it again. According to Liz Powell, an AJGA spokesperson, the tournament provides home-stay opportunities at each of its 120 annual events. To maintain some semblance of normalcy on the road takes planning, the golfers said. “I bring my workout gear and stuff, so I have that to warm up with throughout the week,” said Williams. “Then I have a journal that kind of keeps me organized.” Daniel said she balances life on the road with routines. “I always pack the same snacks,” she said. “I always pack the same everything, so you’re used to it.” Lee said she has been accustomed to traveling for years now. Though she calls Seoul home, she moved around a lot when she was young. She learned to play golf in Malaysia and Taiwan, and moved to Florida three years ago to sharpen her skills. “I went to Bishop’s Gate Golf Academy,” she said. “No way!” Daniel said. “I went to Gary Gilchrist (Golf Academy).” The two academies are a 30-minute drive from each other in Central Florida.

By 10 a.m., the girls and the Babiches had taken their seats around the table, passing around the plates of fruit, banana bread, and the scrambled eggs David had made. Eveleen and David asked the girls about their training – how much they practice (two three- hour sessions a day), and how many coaches they have (about five each, including physical therapists and sports psychologists). At the end of the tournament the girls will disband, with Lee going to a tournament in Tennessee, Daniel going to one in Indiana and Wallace traveling to a tournament in Houston. But for the moment the golfers polished off the mixed berries and Canadian bacon. “Does anyone want that last piece of bread?” Wallace asked, eyeing a lonely slice of the banana and blueberry bread Eveleen had made. David picked up the plate and tipped it toward her. “All yours,” he said. “The best we can do is to keep on them,” she said. “And the more we try and the more we educate people with this stuff, the better our habitat is going to be.”Jessica Kirby can be reached at jessica@basinrecre- ation.org.
