  Tough day, hungry night

  2010-03-20 After a super long day of hard golf training and a tough workout, all I wanted to do was to eat and sleep. Not today. After debating wether to go to a black tie dinner with fun people we finally went in borrowed clothes that didn't fit whatsoever and sneakers. The tournament had organized this big dinner party and normally at tournaments these things are relaxed and over shortly. After hearing that Prince Hassan II was late and nobody eats before the Prince eats, we changed our minds and went straight back to the hotel. Or not straight. Since nobody could leave when the Prince was arriving we had to wait and sneak away carefully. Finally our car just manage to get past all the guards. Would have been cool to see the Prince and all the buzz around him down here but to be at a dinner party without food or drinks should be illegal...specially when you are starving.
  
  Good productive day today on the course. Me and Colin went through the whole game and trying to prepare for next week. Colin is a very calm and relaxed person but he is very influential and has a lot of wise things to say. He has been caddying for 25 years and won so many times and seen all the best players play. It's so important for me to have a caddie like him because he tells me exactly how they all practice and go about things. 
  
  Another day of practice tomorrow before heading over to Malaga for next week's tournament.
  
  Me and Pierre tried to stay off the carbohydrates for three weeks and the first one eating any carbs had to pay money to the other guy. We broke the deal after 7 hours. We almost lasted 3 weeks...
  
  Thanks for all the wise and supporting words in the comments of my last entry. I was a bit upset with myself and still am. But when I see progress like in today's practice I know I'm in the right direction so it's all good!

  Alex,
  To restate what so many others have said; The blog is terrific and thank you so much for it. As a suggestion, I'd love to hear from you, or through a guest entry from Colin, some things you've learned from Colin. It would be interesting to hear his thoughts on practicing, course management, tournament psychology, and the like, as he has spent many years with some world class golfers. The two of you seem to make a great team!
  Play well!

  Hi Alex!
  
  Don´t worry about your golf. It´s inside you. You´re working so hard this days that I´m sure you´re going to recieved good news in Spain, my country. Remember, all you must to do is play your golf, enjoy it and eat and drink "marisco, tortilla de gambas y fino". Ask Pablo Martín, Miguel A. Jiménez, Rodiles, etc. You have a lot of guys ready to guide you. :-) Good luck!!!
