A mention of Amy’s famous leap into Poppie’s Pond appears on the Golf Digest in an article by Jaime Diaz on the five most poignant moments in golf. Jaime describes some of the historic moments as “formalized links to the past (that) provide necessary reinforcement to the idea that the more the game changes, the more it stays the same.”

As I look back on the fresh&easy Dinah Shore Charity Pro-Am, I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am and how pleased I am with how everything went, especially the great results for charity. We raised nearly $180,000 for charity – LA’s BEST and Park Century School, our official beneficiaries, as well as for the Dinah Shore Foundation. To have such great support from my friends and fellow LPGA pros, to celebrate the history of Dinah Shore and the Kraft Nabisco Championship and to raise such important funds for charity made this a win-win weekend for sure. Thank you to all of my friends, family and fans for your support of this inaugural event. We look forward to what the future holds.

Legends. Hall of Famers. Stars of the LPGA. Where are they now? Well, on April 2, 2011, you can see 18 of the best players in the history of the LPGA — my friends and fellow competitors — tee it up in the “fresh&easy Dinah Shore Charity Pro-Am”. My good friend Tim Mason (of Fresh & Easy) and I will co-host this special event to honor the late Dinah Shore, my long-time
friend and great supporter of women’s golf, and the Kraft Nabisco Championship, the event Dinah started 40 years ago. I am so excited that Kathy Whitworth, Pat Bradley, Nancy Lopez, Patty Sheehan, Kathy Whitworth and so many others will join me for this special event. We will play this pro-am during the third round of the Kraft Nabisco Championship.

On the 12th of August Amy had the pleasure of discussing current events with John Roberts an author, athlete, and leading expert in golf.
A transcript of the show is available to read on CNN’s site.
Amy has signed on as an ambassador to High Definition Golf – a subsidiary of Interactive Sports Technologies.
According to Amy:
“The High Definition Golf simulator is truly the most accurate technology for indoor golf I’ve come across. Not only do I love the accuracy, the image quality is spectacular, beyond the great technology it’s a wonderful way to spend time improving your golf game or sharing time with friends and family. With the video swing analysis and the new shaft flex module, I believe indoor golf lessons with a golf professional and the High Definition Golf simulator to be unparalled.”
