Pacific Women Leaders in Tennis Workshop
Recently, I stumbled upon an article that caught my eye. It was about a leadership program called the Pacific Women and Girls in Tennis – Emerging Leaders workshop. This amazing event took place in Fiji and brought together eleven talented women from the Pacific region to learn, grow, and connect with each other. The workshop is part of Tennis Australia’s broader mission to empower women and girls in tennis.
Keegan Bradley: A Golfer’s Ambition
While we’re on the topic of tennis updates, let’s also talk about another exciting story in the sports world. Keegan Bradley, a golfer who has achieved his dream by becoming the captain of the U.S. Ryder Cup team, is also looking to compete as a player in the upcoming Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. His recent form suggests that things could be heading in the right direction. Bradley’s appointment as captain came as a bit of a surprise, as he wasn’t widely mentioned as a candidate in the media. The biggest focus was on Tiger Woods, who was seen as the top choice.
Bradley spoke about how much he values the Ryder Cup as a competition, recognizing its significance for golf fans and players alike. He is looking forward to starting preparations and believes that his vice captains are more than capable of taking on their roles. He also mentioned that media and players will be well-informed about everything happening during the Ryder Cup.
