So grateful that our finale is 12 minutes from my house. Yesterday, I enjoyed the evening with friends around the fire and a fun glow round!

I'm ready to give my best for my last event and then start the slow living for the next month. ✨

TPWDGC 2026 ✨🩷

Finally back home after a whirlwind week in South Carolina. I want to thank Throw Pink, @scdiscgolfer77 , and her entire team of volunteers! The support I received this week was incredible; my experience wouldn't have been the same without all these wonderful people. A special thanks to Rob, who offered to caddie for my three rounds. I really enjoyed sharing my game with him. I view this experience at Winthrop as great preparation for next year. This course demands preparation, and I’m now better equipped for a my revenge. My goal for next year is to qualify much earlier—because, let’s face it, qualifying the Sunday before, making the drive, and getting just one practice round isn't exactly a recipe for success. What I love about a major tournament is the preparation process, and I’m going to try to give myself that opportunity next year.

Thanks again to everyone for your support!

Enfin de retour à la maison après une semaine de fou en Caroline du Sud. Je tiens à remercier Throw Pink, Sara et toutes son équipe de bénévoles! Le soutien que j'ai reçu cette semaine a été incroyable, mon expérience n'aurait pas été la même sans tous ces magnifiques humains. Un merci particulier à Rob qui s'est offert comme caddy pour mes 3 rondes. J'ai eu énormément de plaisir à partager ma game avec lui. Je considère cette expérience à Winthrop comme une belle pratique pour l'an prochain. Ce parcours demande de la préparation et je suis maintenant plus équipé pour ma revenge sur le parcours. Mon but l'an prochain sera de me qualifier bien plus tôt, parce que on va se le dire, se qualifier le dimanche avant, faire la route et avoir une ronde pratique n'est pas la recette du succès. Ce que j'apprécie d'un tournoi d'envergure c'est le processus de préparation, je vais tenter de me donner cette chance l'an prochain. Merci encore à tous pour votre soutien!

My first ever Throw Pink Women Disc Golf Championships ✅

What an incredible experience it was to take part in this event!!! Being here meant the world to me; I’m heading back to Quebec, Canada, with so many lessons learned and memories made. ✨

I experienced a rather strange mental moment today. I had a total memory lapse regarding what happened on the green at hole 1. I made a mistake there that served as a lesson, but strangely enough, my brain just "checked out," and I have absolutely no memory of it. 😅 I’ve been saying all week how fascinating the human brain is, and today was the perfect example of that. I think my emotions were running high as the bad weather approached, but never mind that... I’m really proud of how I played up until hole 11. After that, I was simply exhausted. But I’m going to focus on the positives: two incredible putts from "Circle 2," my birdie on hole 7 (with a triple *mando*), and so much more.

I plan to watch the FPO lead card tomorrow, and then I’ll hit the road. I’m heading back to Quebec to work and compete in the @circuitdisquebec finale. The season is over; I can't wait to process everything, train, and come back stronger than ever!

Thank you for all your support. I am so grateful! Love you all! 🫶

TPWDGC round 2 in the books and what a round it was! Everything was set for the classic Karen Come back. 😆 Improved my score by 11 strokes today. Birdie 1 from circle 2 was a very good start.
I threw great and the course gave me love today. But also I knew the course better and it help for the smart decision.
Also, I hit the cage on 14 basket from the tee, almost an ace!! 🤩
Tomorrow will be an other challenge with the weather but I feel ready to attack the course and have fun! ✨

🥏💪🔥

TPWDGC Ronde 2 est faite et quelle ronde c'était! Tout était en place pour un classique Karen Come back. 😆 J'ai amélioré mon pointage par 11 coups. Birdie le 1 du cercle 2 était un vraiment bon début de ronde. Je lançais vraiment bien et le parcours m'a donné du love en début de ronde. Mais surtout je connais mieux le parcours et ça m'a permis de prendre de meilleures décisions.
Oh! Et j'ai frappé la cage du panier au 14 pour le ace. Tellement proche!!!! 🤩
Demain le défi va être différent avec la météo annoncée mais je me sens prête à attaquer le parcours et avoir du fun! ✨

TWDGC Round 1 ✅

We could say that this round was a practice round.😅
I visited a lot of the OBs today. I also learned a lot about the rules of the course...So much things to manage. One practice round when you are exhausted is not enough here. But hey! I enjoyed every second of this round. I had an awesome cards and I'm grateful for all the help that I received today on the course. I'm ready and excited for my comeback tomorrow! I'm taking notes and get back there with a better plan. Thanks for all the support! I'm happy, at the right place and want more!

✨

On peut dire que cette ronde était une pratique. 😅 Je suis allé voir de près pas mal de zones hors limites (OB) aujourd'hui. J'en ai aussi beaucoup appris sur les règles... Il y a tellement de choses à gérer. Ici, une seule ronde de pratique quand on est épuisé, ce n'est pas assez. Mais bon ! J'ai savouré chaque seconde de cette ronde. J'étais avec une super carte et je suis reconnaissante pour toute l'aide reçue sur le terrain aujourd'hui. Je suis prête et impatiente de me reprendre demain ! Je prends des notes et je vais y retourner avec un meilleur game plan. Merci pour tout votre soutien ! Je suis heureuse, je suis à ma place et j'en veux encore !

GMC didn't go the way I had hoped. 🤷‍♀️ I would have liked to perform better on these familiar courses. But then again, I was aware that my last two weeks had been exhausting; neither my body or my mind was at its best. Despite everything, I’m walking away with a 36th-place finish and a hunger for more. This year, I got a taste of the DGPT stage, and I want more. I know I have what it takes. Outside of the scores, I did some awesomes shots this week! I'm extremely grateful for the opportunities I’ve had this year, and I fully intend to prepare for the upcoming season. Thank you all for your continued support! ✨

🥏🥏🥏

GMC n'a pas donné les résultats que je recherchais. 🤷‍♀️ J'aurais aimé performer mieux sur ces terrains connus. Mais d'un autre côté j'étais consciente que mes 2 dernières semaines n'avaient pas été de tout repos. Mon corps et mon mental n'étaient pas à son meilleur. Je ressors malgré tout avec une 36e place et un appétit pour plus. Cette année, je vais avoir trempé mes orteils sur la scène du DGPT et j'en veux plus. Je sais que j'ai ce qui faut. En dehors des scores, j'ai fait des shots incroyables cette semaine! Je suis extrêmement reconnaissante pour les opportunités que j'ai eu cette année et je compte bien me préparer pour la prochaine saison. Merci à tous pour votre soutien continu! ✨
