Blasberg turned professional in June 2004 and played on the Futures Tour that season. She won the Laconia Savings Bank Golf Classic and en route to her first professional win broke the Tour's 18 hole scoring record, shooting a 62. She earned non-exempt status for the LPGA Tour at the 2004 LPGA Final Qualifying Tournament.
Blasberg started on the LPGA Tour in 2005, making the cut in most of her early events but not contending for top positions. She was disqualified from the Chick-fil-A Charity Championship in May 2005 when she left the scoring tent without signing her card.^[5] Blasberg later told reporters that the rule infraction was poorly handled by the officials and that she should not have received a penalty.^[6] The next week she made a hole in one and won a Mercury SUV. At mid-season she fired her caddie, because she "needed a change."^[7] She ended 2005 109th on the money list. She was chosen to play in the 2005 Lexus Cup, where she won two matches and halved another, including a 98 yard hole out on the 18th to win a match. In 2006, despite a late season rally she once again finished just outside the top one hundred on the money list, but a successful tournament at Qualifying School in the fall of 2006 won her exempt status for 2007 — the first and only time in her career she had exempt status on the LPGA Tour.
In 2007, she finished 104th on the money list. She chose not to return to Qualifying School, leaving her once again as a non-exempt player for 2008. In 2008 her results were only marginally better than in 2007. She played 23 tournaments and, while she did earn the only top-10 finish of her career, she again finished near the bottom of the LPGA money list.
She returned again to Qualifying School in 2009 in an attempt to improve her status on Tour for the 2010 but withdrew after shooting rounds of 72 and 78 in the final stage of the Tournament. She entered 2010 with limited playing opportunities and played just one tournament, the Tres Marias Championship in Morelia, Mexico where she finished tied for 44th after Monday qualifying for the event. During the tournament week, Blasberg participated in a "Back to College" event at which she joined fellow players Mina Harigae and Mariajo Uribe in visiting student-athletes at the Universidad Latina De America in Morelia to answer questions on golf and education

Can Women Boost The Sex Drive During Menopause?

For many women who are approaching the age of menopause, say between late thirties to mid-forties, you most likely have already discovered that your sex drive isn't what it used to be. This is something that varies greatly from one woman to the next, but the odds are that menopause has at least slowed down your libido somewhat. What to do? Let's explore some possibilities here.
The main reason for this loss of interest in sex is of course the decrease in hormones, particularly estrogen. Estrogen is a mood-elevator to some degree, and as such when there is less of it in the body a subtle change takes over. Not only is a woman's mood less than happy, her sex life can suffer due to the lack of desire and sometimes real physical pain of having sex. As you advance into menopause, the vagina will actually begin to dry and shrink somewhat which can lead to a pain that is quite debilitating during sex.
So what can be done about this? There are ways to help ease the symptoms of this dryness, such as using lubricants during sex. Also, an attempt can be made to decrease this trend by trying to boost the hormone testosterone in the body which can be another hormone lacking at this time. Believe it or not, the same hormone that boosts sex drive in men does the same for women.

There are over the counter medications that can help to boost testosterone '“ one is called DHEA, or Dehdydroepiandrosterone, which is a steroid hormone produced chiefly by the adrenal glands. It can also be made by the ovaries and the brain. It is the most prevalent adrenal steroid in the body and serves a precursor to the human sex steroids, testosterone and estrogen. Unfortunately it decreases in supply as we age, so a supplemental dosage can help to increase the libido in some women.

Since not all doctors are in agreement that DHEA is safe and effective, some prescribe other testosterone boosting medications such as Estratest, which is a combination estrogen and testosterone prescription approved for hot flashes and other menopause symptoms. If you have any worries, you should ask your doctor before trying anything to be safe. The bottom line is what works for some doesn't work for others, but you won't find out if you don't at least try, right?
