Good mood
2010-05-24
In a seriously good mood this morning. Just came up with a good plan for the next few weeks. I'm gonna try to get into "college mode". Not as much flying around, no F1 watching, nothing else than golf. In college, we just went out to the course every day around lunch time and went back to the apartment and the books (that's a lie) and then back again the next day. We had so much time for practice. Now, I try to have time for everything. Flying here, flying there. Not the best way if you want to get back into contention.
My swing work with Rikard Fors is going good. I'm gonna give it more time now. A few days at his place will do a lot of good.
Last week at Wentworth was a good one. Didn't finish up too well but it was still good. The changes made the course tough. The greens were rock hard over the weekend and you had to really play strategic. The pins were tucked away and a lot of the times, you were happy with a 8 meter putt for birdie. Normally, we go for pretty much everything:) The greens are usually softer and therefore shortsiding yourself isn't too bad. Here, you had impossible bunker and flop shots when shortsiding. Fun sometimes to try the impossible. Actually, you can always stop the ball with the flag or the hole so nothing is impossible.
The course had two different courses within it. 1st hole to the 11th was the first. You try to be under par here to give yourself an opportunity to post a good score. 12th and in played really tough.
The average clubs into the last holes:
12th par 4: Driver, 6 iron
13th par 4: Driver, 5 iron
14th par 3: 6 iron
15th par 4: 3 wood, 2 iron (nowhere to hit the driver)
16th, 17th, 18th played shorter but hundred times trickier with the new changes.
Not trying to be negative, more just to give you a feel for the course you might seen on TV over the weekend.
Had a really sweet workout session yesterday and heading for another one now to get in a good state of mind before the three days with Rikard.
My swing is a lot better already and we are working on getting it shorter and more on plane. It will look a bit more upright instead of around. Somebody sent me this from youtube. It's from last week.

qskJm8 Internet is written with the capital letter in a sentence, by the way. And hundredths are written not with a point but with a comma. This is according to the standard. And actually everything is very good..!!reply

hey alex.I followed you saturday and sunday and i thought you hit the ball well but got out of position and double bogey was the ebst you could do! Particularly unlucky on 13 sunday when you had to take an unplayable after the drive! Good things are just around the corner for you though keep up the hard work and go get it!
Hope US Open qualifying goes well!
