What I’m Listening To
The Book
At the end of August, I was asked by the Illinois Section of the PGA to participate in a video commemorating my great-great-grandmother Bessie Anthony’s induction into the Hall of Fame. I cannot wait to share the video (or details of the ceremony, which was this past Friday!). But in the meantime, I thought I’d share some “behind-the-scenes” shots from our filming.
Mid-interview…
Deep breaths!
Dr. John Connolly and I chatting under portraits of Bessie and Chick Evans — how magnificent does she look???
A selfie on the 18th green! Doesn’t get better than that :).
