  Jack Nicklaus in town

  2010-03-17 Another really long practice round by myself. Felt like I got a lot done shortgame wise. The grass around the greens here is really different from what we normally play. Either we have long thick rough or we have cut down fairway grass which usually is very tight to hit from. So either the "bunker type style shot" from the rough or the "trying to clip it off the short cut grass shot". This week the grass around the greens is rather long but laying down and a lot of mud in between the grass blades so it challenge us a little bit. I have tried to play the ball of the toe of my lob- or sandwedge all day to get in tight to the ball and to slide the toe underneathe the ball to get a clean hit. If you don't get tight enough in and under the ball, you will catch some of the grass before the ball and get various different fligths. Some lies are so tough it will be easier to use the putter and skip it through the longer lying down grass blades.
  
  Also watched a really cool little clinic with Tony Jacklin and Jack Nicklaus. Felt really big to see specially Jack in person. Seen him so many times on the TV growing up and also lately when he has played his last tournaments. He could still hit it, so could Tony. They also shared some good things about how they use to think on and off the golf course. A video of that will be up soon. 
  
  
  
  
  
  I thought Ante's entry was great! I'd love to have been at that seminar. To have the courage to succeed and to make misstakes is so important. I used to be very concious about what everybody else thought of me. Now, I have failed so many times I don't care anymore. You just have to get back up on the horse and try again. One of my goals this year is to challenge myself every day. I try to put myself in uncomfortable positions as often as possible to overcome fears.
  
  Teeing off at 10.55 tomorrow. Both excited and nervous.

  Hey Alex, check this flopper out. Nothing amazing, but you can see how surprised I was. Didn't think it'd get over the net, nor come right back at me.

  Alex!
  
  The new blog is great with the vids and all. It keeps my "golfabstinens" down a bit despite all the snow here in Stockholm. :-)
  
  Best of luck tomorrow!
