Awesome finish!
2010-08-23
Tomorrow is our last day in Monaco for a while now. Over to Finland and Mikko Ilonen on wednesday. A good 5 days of practice and playing golf with him is exactly what I need. Monaco has been great! Lots of golf, tennis, workouts and running. And some beach time to make it look like a vacation:) I'm not too good at vacations.
Thinking about getting a bike so I can bike up the mountains down here. A lot of the skiers who live here do that to train legs and endurance. Sounds like fun training. I guess it's tough for me to hang with those guys in the beginning but after a while maybe. Skiers have stupidly strong legs. Enough talking about other guy's legs...A bike would be fun!
My heavy club training is going well. That's all I hit now on the range.
Got a great question about what we European Tour pros would shoot on a regular Swedish golf course from the yellow tees (regular men's tees). The guy who asked me says that everybody tells him that we would kill the course and always shoot 65. My answer to that would be:
The courses we play are about 1000 yards or meters longer than the average Swedish Course. We also have narrower fairways, thicker rough, faster and firmer greens, tougher pins and more hazards. The average tour pro would shoot low on a regular Swedish course but I don't think he would shoot 65 every time, but pretty close to it. We get used to tough conditions and that's the key to it all; To train on tough courses and in tough conditions. There is no substitute to that.

I love bunker practice. It makes my whole game better. When my chipping and pitching is off, I always practice a lot in the bunker.

It took me 1 hour and three gyms to find on that was open. Opening hours in Monaco are really sketchy. But got in a great session and liking the fact that I'm back in the same shape as before the long run of tournaments this summer. It's tough to keep up the work outs when competing a lot..JPG "img_1663(2).JPG")
REWARD and good food after a workout! Raw meet is awesome!
Looking forward to Suomi country!!!
See you later!!!

Visst ni spelar längre banor, tuffare flagplaceringar osv. Samtidigt har ni mycket fördelar i att alltid spela på banor med jämna greener, samma mängd sand i bunkern, perfekt klippta fairways som ger bra bollkontakt och mer rull, minsta väta får ni rengöra och torka av bollen och regnar det så ni måste ta upp paraplyt så avbryts spelet. Ni får exakta avstånd till pinnen och bär inte bagen själv vilket gör att er puls inte går upp och ner på samma sätt som hos en amatör.Nej jag skulle vilja se en tourtävling spelas under de omständigheter vi "vanliga" hackers får spela våra tävlingar på i Sverige. Med blöta långhåriga fairways utan lägesförbättring, inga pinnplaceringar, tröga greener...Tror inte snittscoren skulle ligga 6-7 under par för startfältet på en svensk bana som är runt 6000 meter? Vadå bitter:-) Ja bara lite då!

Hi Alex,Just a quick one to thank you for taking the time to answer my question about what Tour pros would shoot on an average course.
It's really interesting and an insight into just how good the Tour guys are. Different class!
Keep up the good work and again thanks for taking the time on your blog with all the pics and information
