Thanks Nathan. I was politely suggesting that she check with Ashley and find out how much of that $1,200 she actually needs. Perhaps she can handle a few hundred on her own. Personally I think it's a good thing if Ashley invests some money herself. That way she has a vested interest in the outcome. If others foot the entire bill, where is her incentive to do well?
She knows about it now and has been overwhelmed with emotions about the outpouring.
I don't want to air her business but she had no chance of going at all on her own. NONE. Furthermore, no, she does not have the money to contribute to the total. If she places well at the OB Stop this weekend in Tulsa that would be a different story and I will personally refund all the extra money, Jay.
Her incentive to do well was shown to me tonight full force when she called me crying about even the POSSIBILITY of being able to play with the pros - her goal and dream.
I am not asking people to sponsor her, I am asking to help fulfill someone's dream. It isn't easy to get invites anymore on the WPBA - she worked hard all year to win a spot to the Regional Tour Championship in January. And today she was invited to the WOMEN's U.S. OPEN due to a last minute cancellation because she was next on the list. WOW!
