New strategy!
2010-04-13 Part of the team is assembled. Feels good to see Colin and Pierre again and they are both in a great mood.
I've now planned my future golf practise a little different than in the past. I'm very tired of being frustrated on and off the course and I believe the reason is that I don't have a plan to succeed. My results have been worse than in the past and usually I don't care too much because I know better results are coming because I've beleived in my practise routine. Lately, the lack of a plan has made me feel lost and that makes me easily frustrated. I was embarassad after hearing that I looked tired and frustrated on the course in Marocco when they showed me on TV. I want to look like I have energy and that I want to win. Not the opposite.
So now, my change in planning and practising is already making me feel better on and off the course and now it's easier for me to believe I'll succeed in the future.
There is nothing I love more than playing good golf and I'm ready to do about anything to do it. This new regimen will give me a better possibility to reach my goals.
For example, this week the plan is to be in the right frame of mind and in a form which will give me the best possiblities to win the tournament.
- Monday practise routine: 50 ball putting drill (all competetive putts 1-5 meters), 70 bunker shots which will improve my overall shortgame, 2x 48 ball technique drill on the range, 30 minutes running on 12 km/h and 6 abs exercises.
- Tuesday practise routine: 10 minutes running warm-up, legs and shoulder workout 30 minutes, 50 ball putting drill, 1x 48 ball technique drill, 25 balls target practise on the range, 9 hole practise play on the course (competetive match with Edfors, Ilonen and Erlandsson). 2x 18 hole long putt drill.
- Wednesday will be a pro-am day and some more competetive training to really feel in the right mode for thursday.
With this amount of practise and preparation combined with the training I've done at home I still feel energized for the tournament rounds. I can then tweek around with this plan to really make it work but at least I've got all written down to compare weeks from now on.
Here are the two awesome "coaches" (Colin is a great mix between a coach and a caddie to me) that are here this week in China..JPG&width=800&height=1066 "cimg4688(2).JPG")

Pierre is always great as well! It's great to have them here. They make me train just hard enough...
Hope you are all good and I really want to thank all of you who are supporting me!!! You are all great and you make me work harder and better than before! I owe you a lot! Thanks!!! And good luck with your own games!!!

Hey Alex - keep up the good work - you will find your balance on the course very soon - I like your new strategy - saw you win in Crans last year - again you made golf look so easy - perhaps the inner calm was with you then! best of luck, and enjoy. Say hi to Colin, fellow Irish men!reply

Kudos for the thinking going into the "New Strategy". I am sure that the results will follow! Kind of replies to my question at Golfhallen over Christmas as to how you and Colin prepare for a tournament, especially at a new venue. Good to see more swing videos......Had started to wonder whether you were a professional golfer or trying to make the WWF ;-} Bestest from Savannah.reply
