After 6 grueling weeks with Carl in Orlando Jordan will return to competition tomorrow playing IMG’s Thanksgiving at Championsgate. (Click for full blog, pics and videos).

It has been a very busy time for Jordan in Orlando. Most days begin at 4:30am when she goes to the gym to work on cardio and strength training. At 8am she meets Carl Rabito for 4 hours of training. Next it is school from 1:30-7pm. Coach felt that B was leaving an inch of release on the table and he wanted her to have it. May not sound like a lot, but now corrected it has added 10 plus yards to most clubs in her bag. The path to get there has been extremely difficult and rigorous and did not allow Jordan to compete during this time. Now, that is behind her and the Winter Tour Season is about to begin…..

This time has been filled with good friends lots of laughs. Yirong (Danny) Zheng came from Chicago to spend a few days. Will and Nancy Greenberg visited from St. Petersburg and played a round with Jordan at Championsgate after a great dinner the evening before at Capa. John Daniel came in for a few days from Montreal just in time to help prep the house for a hurricane and had to leave a day early to make sure he could get out. Jordan took him for his first Louisiana style crab boil (her new favorite guilty pleasure). Helaine and Zucel Solc came for a night filled with food and drink and political banter. Carl joined us for dinner and we proved that the left and the right could actually listen to one another with civility after 3 bottles of good red and a liter of rum.

Jordan traveled for a weekend to Southern Florida where she had dinner with Gramma Jerie then spent the night at Stephanie and Louis’ home in Palm Beach Gardens. Our good friends Al and Ryland Rabil hosted Jordan to play golf at Emerald Dunes on that Saturday where they played 27 straight holes joined by Al’s coach Way. She spent that evening galavanting around South Beach with her Aunt Sara and crashed at her beautiful home in Hollywood. The next day she returned to her favorite place on earth, The Bears Club where her adopted golf grandfather Allen Sirkin again graciously hosted her. This was followed by lunch with Bonnie and Ami at Admirals Cove looking out at the marina. This week Super Mom and Incredible sister Lyla are back in town. Lyla even played 9 with Jordan in the pouring rain being the incredible sister that she is.

Now it is Thanksgiving morning and Gramma Jerie, Papa Selwyn, and Aunt Sara are in town. All will follow B tomorrow as she takes on a field of 18 girls ages 15-18 for 36 holes over two days. This will be a warm up tournament in preparation for next weeks Hurricane National Championship, arguably the largest Junior Golf Tournament in the world with over 1200 kids coming to compete. In Jordan’s division there are 105 competitors. On January 7th & 8th Jordan will again compete in the Honda Junior Classic at PGA in Palm Beach Gardens.

We will post the link to the live leaderboard later today when it gets released along with B’s T time. The editorial staff apologizes for this 2 month hiatus from publishing but there really has been no competition to discuss. Again, we are humbled by all of the amazing texts, emails, calls and posts inquiring as to why there have been no posts but now this should bring everyone up to date. If we have forgotten to mention anyone who has visited we sincerely apologize but know it is a lack of sleep and not a lack of appreciation for your efforts.

That’s all for now. Pictures and videos follow of the last few months in no particular order.

This is a two year old photo of Jordan and Allen from the first time he invited her to the Bear’s Club. We did not take a new one but we promise to do so next time. Note that Al never wears a matching pair of shoes on the golf course.

Now to the videos. Some are technical, some are just the swing with the new release. Very few people reading this will see a difference, but it is massive.
