Witnessing GOLF History

It comes along once or twice in a lifetime. We are in such a moment, this weekend, for the last time. We get to see Annika Sorenstam finish her last professional tournament round on the LPGA tour. This is history. To have been lucky enough to see the best women's golfer ever and the, soon to be, best male golfer ever, at the same time, has been a real treat.

I will spare you the list of achievements, if you want to see them you can find them. Rest assured, she has set the bar at a very high level. Not just for women, but for golfers. From her major championships to shooting 59 in a tournament round, she has been the benchmark for her sport for as long as I can remember.

Now she holes out for the last time. She gets her last moment in the sun before she passes the torch to the Paula's, Morgan's, Michelle's, Britnay's and In-Bee's of the world. Perhaps they can carry on and challenge the legacy that she has forged. Perhaps we have just seen the only one that could carry that torch. Maybe WE were the lucky ones for this time to get to see this.

This weekend, flip the channel over and watch the greatest golfer of her era play that final round. Watch the emotion on the faces of the crowd and the competitors. If you play this game and love it like I do, you will know how important this weekend is. You have been witness to the greatest to ever play the game. You will watch as Tiger breaks every record in the book soon. But you can watch one last time as Annika finishes a career that may never be matched.

We have been lucky.
