At Mission Hills ... The Lake Awaits
It's that time of year again.
The Lake of Champions is waiting to extend a watery welcome to this year's Kraft-Nabisco Tournament winner.
The celebratory soak, a tradition since Amy Alcott's inaugural plunge in 1988, makes for a fun, frolicking finish, as exciting any in golf. Over the years a lot of happy girls have gotten wet, and we've cheered them on. It's an awesome "extra" at the LPGA's first major of the year, and for me, like the green jacket at the Masters, it always represents a symbolic start to the the spring/summer season.
This year, with a stellar field of sparkling stars, everyone's going to be watching. Of course the Amazing Lorena Ochoa is heavily favored because, to put it politely, the girl's on fire, but this being golf, we all know anything can happen, so here at Golf for Women, and all over the golf blogosphere, we're recklessly wagering on politely discussing our picks for 2008's Mission Hills Mermaid. Why don't you weigh in here too? The more there merrier. May the best girl win, and let's hope she does a mean cannonball.
