Welcome to Louise Friberg
I live in Scottsdale, Arizona. It is the Mecca of Golf! There are golfers everywhere and plenty of good golf courses to choose from. I am a member at Moon Valley Country Club, where Annika shot her 59 a few years back!
I am lucky to have some family in town, my sister and her husband as well as their son, Max, who is now as I am writing this 21 months old and as cute as can be!
As always, I enjoy reading your comments so please stop by my guest book and tell me what you enjoy reading or maybe tell me about your best LPGA memory!
I hope to see you all out there!
Busy last few weeks
23 January, 2012
These past weeks has gone incredibly fast! I can’t believe that January is almost done and over with. At least I am using my time effectively balancing work and friends.
This past week my friend Rebecka, who lives in the Bay Area was here to hang out and talk some business. It was great and we had a fun time along with getting lots done. She left today and I have to admit, it is a bit empty after haning out with someone 24/7 for a few days.
Yesterday we had our yearly SWEA meeting and it went well. SWEA is a Swedish Women’s Educational Association and is worldwide. I am on the board for the Arizona chapter and that is for sure keeping me busy:) We have lots of events lined up and that is really exciting. There are many things that I want to do and get done before I head back to Sweden in April…I am leaving for Orlando, FL on Saturday to do the TPI Junior level 2 certification, it is a great program and I am excited to learn more!
This week consist of some cleaning up paperwork, literally cleaning up my place, working, socializing and then time for travel. Of course, it is a must to have time to visit one of my new fav spots here in my neighborhood; LUX (incredible baked goods and COFFEE!!!). For anyone who has not been there yet, it is truly a must visit if in town. It is a vibrant cafe open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is truly a must!
Now I am getting ready to have some Swedish Pea Soup…yummi!! 
John Jacobs Golf Schools and Vallda Golf & Country Club
3 January, 2012
…these are my two new employers for the year of 2012! I will be working with the John Jacobs Golf Schools until mid April, when I will head to Sweden for seasonal work there at Vallda Golf and Country Club! This is a very exciting time in my life as I am making my career change from player to coach.
As you know I have been working all fall with educating myself in the world of golf. I have been a total seminar junkie and book worm and I am now ready to start working.
I will be based out of Orange Tree Golf Resort in Scottsdale conducting golf schools, clinics, group-, private-, and playing lessons. If you have a friend or two or perhaps three who wants a lesson, please send them my way as I can’t wait to share my knowledge to make better and happier golfers!
In addition to that I will be writing a inspirational golf section in a golf magazine at home in Sweden, LifeStyleGolf Magazine. They are only printed and sold in Sweden so only available for my Swedish friends…sorry! Perhaps one day I will be able to write for a US golf magazine! That would be very cool:)
By the way- I wanted to wish everyone a very Happy New Year of 2012. It will be a great one and if there is anything I can do along the way for your games please let me know!
Have a great rest of the week.

Back in Sweden for Christmas
19 December, 2011
After a smooth travel I got back to Sweden last night, and it is cold here! It feels good to be back and I am excited to see some friends and get to spend some time with family.
Luckily I slept most of the way, I basically boarded in Phoenix and woke up in London. Needless to say, I did not eat the whole way and as I got to London I was starving. I was happy to see that they added a cafe at the lower level of Terminal 5 and they have a good soup there…so tomato soup and some water and I was ready for yet another two hour nap on the way to Copenhagen!
My baggage got here no problem, which is not always the case. I travelled light (no need to golf stuff at all!) So nice to only have a few items with me, that way I get to take back some of my favorite Swedish items as well as all the stuff people want me to bring back to Michaela, Max and Court:)
The agenda for today is to do some work (yes, I am actually doing some work while at home!!!) to the head to pick out a Christmas tree and decorate it. Tonight I will head over to my friend Pernilla and Gustavs place to hang there for a little bit.
Stay Warm!

A weekend of fun:)
28 November, 2011
This past week was busy! I went to Palm Springs to spend Thanksgiving with the Mulflurs. It was good to see them, as always! I was going to stay there only until Friday but ended up staying one extra day. Miss them already:(
We had some great food, golf and awesome social time, THANK YOU so much for everything!!! I drove back on Saturday again and then went out for drinks and dessert (and hard boiled egg!!!), it was lots of fun. Then Suday I rested for a bit and then headed out from lunch and a movie. I saw Time in, it was very interesting…at night I paid a visit to the new NORTH on Camelback and 40th and it was great! Relaxed ambiance and good food! It was great to catch up with Danny, who I have not seen for a while.
Today I have spent working a little bit and then heading to downtown Phoenix to check out new living places. I am really impressed with the Phoenix downtown area and I think I might head this way to live:) There is more culture and little cute shops and cafes that you just don’t see in Scottsdale.
Still deciding tho but would be fun to try out something new!
This morning I woke up to some crazy pictures that mom had sent from home. There was a huge storm at home in Sweden and one wall that separate part of the backyard had totally blown down!! It is made of stone…then the top of the outdoor spa had flown off and ended up at the neighbors house which is about 500 yards away!! Crazy!!! I am glad that everyone is ok…
