On Monday Amy made her return to the golf world. On behalf of the Phil and Amy Mickelson Golf Foundation, she attended a golf clinic held in Torrey Pines, CA, at the LPGA’s Samsung World Championship.
The event was put on as part of the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit, which spotlights prominent women leaders in business, philanthropy, government, education and the arts. Amy mingled with LPGA pros, including Lorena Ochoa, Jiyai Shin and Jill McGill, who led the clinic.
Since she was diagnosed with cancer in May, we’ve all hoped for her speedy recovery. With this appearance, it seems like a favorable and encouraging indication that her treatment is going well.
As you know, I’m not a huge fan of FIGJAM…at all. But I like Amy — she strikes me as a genuinely wonderful and kind person. Here’s hoping we’ll be seeing more of her lovely smile over the next few months, and best wishes.
