Quotes by Laura Davies
I guess I’m not a professional’s professional. I think I’d rather go to the dentist than play a practice round.
It is worth taking the leap for something you have always wanted to do because until you try you’ll never know. Through the experiences I have had and the risks I have taken, I have gained courage and confidence. I didn’t start with the courage and confidence. I started with the risk.
The trouble is, for these guys it's an ordinary event. For them they are just trying to win it and I'm out there under all sorts of pressure.

Abuse manipulates and twists a child's natural sense of trust and love. Her innocent feelings are belittled or mocked and she learns to ignore her feelings. She can't afford to feel the full range of feelings in her body while she's being abused-pain, outrage, hate, vengeance, confusion, arousal. So she short-circuits them and goes numb. For many children, any expression of feelings, even a single tear, is cause for more severe abuse. Again, the only recourse is to shut down. Feelings go underground.
