WOMEN OF LONG-DRIVE: RE/MAX WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 2013

Heather LeMaster (2013 World Champion), Jessica Wallstrom(European Champion), Lisa Vlooswyk(Canadian Champion), Sandra Carlborg(Two time World Champion), Lee Brandon(Two time World Champion)  and  Liezl Diffenthal(South African Champion).

Welcome everyone to the first post on this blog. This place has been created for women all over the world to send their pictures and stories to be shared with everyone interested in the amazing sport of Long-Drive. On behalf of the two time World Champion (Ms. Lee Brandon) and myself (Yolanda Cabada- Photographer), we officially welcome everyone.

As a Sports photographer, this was my first time at the RE/MAX World Championships in Mesquite, Nevada.  I am not a golfer, and even though the ball is not moving, I still can't hit it--"It is fun trying though". I've heard a lot of stories from Ms. Brandon, but my mind was blown by what I experienced.  The pictures I took captured so many emotions. As I was taking them, I went on a fabulous roller coaster with these great women.  Three minutes of incredible adrenaline rush.  Afterwards, an instant look back on what just happened. I will do my best to show you all the beautiful things I experienced. The spirit of these women and the sport of Long-Drive itself.

Thank you to all the women who came out this year to compete, and I challenge everyone to rally to start a Women's over 40+ Master division for more women to join in the fun.  We are open to all ideas and proposals.  We will provide details here later.  We hope all of our combined efforts to promote the sport will manifest in two divisions (Women's Open and Women's Master).

***This is a non profit labor of love.  The intent is to shine a spot light on the sport of Long-Drive for Women and the great athletes pioneering and blazing the trail in this great sport. Please contact us. We would like to do an article on each competitor. Write to womenworldlongdrive@gmail.com.

Let's begin!!!
