Le Nacional
2010-06-30
In Paris. At Nacional du Golf just outside Paris actually. St:Quentin is the closest village. Versailles is very close too, where a lot of people are staying. Since I don't do much else than practice and watch 24 I decided to once again stay at the course. The hotel is not great not great but it's very warm in the room. No freezing here. No no.
I've had the best two days of practicing yet this year. Yesterday, we had a great session with the club designer Roger Cleaveland. He has designed the new Callaway wedges "Jaws" which I use in 56 and 52 degrees lofts. He gave some good advice, tweeked my bounce on the wedges and I improved. He and my caddie Colin agrees on that 80 % of the training should be shortgame (putting included in that). I, for once, agree now. Maybe I've gotten smart. Probably not but the more shortgame I practice the better my long game gets and the less pressure I put on my long game. I still work on improving my technique with Fors.
This course is very picturesque..JPG&width=800&height=600 "img_0771(1).JPG")
This morning at 7.45. 18th closest in the picture and the 15th behind it..JPG&width=800&height=600 "img_0764(1).JPG")
The narrow and ondulated 9th green. Tricky but very very good..JPG&width=800&height=600 "img_0754(1).JPG")
Colin on one of his many walks. This is his 25th year as a caddie..JPG&width=800&height=600 "img_0748(1).JPG")
3rd tee shot. Reachable par-5..JPG&width=800&height=600 "img_0787(1).JPG")
1st green left and the 2nd hole par-3 down hill. Such a nice course this is. Very nice..JPG&width=800&height=600 "img_0781(1).JPG")
Ian Charles Duncan, Lorne Scott Duncan and Colin something Byrne. They have a few years of caddying combined..jpg&width=800&height=1066 "img_0779(1).jpg")
Nice work Fred and Farid. Matt white. I want a matt white car..JPG&width=800&height=600 "img_0752(1).JPG")
7th down the hill. 3 wood, 7 iron. This course plays so different from most courses on tour. You hit around 6-7 drives per round and the rest long irons or woods. Usually, we hit driver all the time..JPG&width=800&height=600 "img_0778(1).JPG")
Here is Stuart. He has a big camera..JPG&width=800&height=600 "img_0785(1).JPG")
Sweet set-up as well.
Game is improving all the time and I'm loving it. Never been this into golf. What a cool game.

The course is nice, but honestly the ball bags of the range are far too small. The Range itself is a bit shaped like the moon.GL Alex I am sure you gonna make it.

alexCan you enlighten us on what the master roger cleveland said about chipping as its by far the worst part of most of our games. And obviously your short game is getting pretty pimpin so maybe you can share. Tight lies I'm always chunking tried to find info on mark roe and brett rumford guys who are known for short game wizardry but I can't seem to find anything.
Much appreciated and i'll be cheering for you
all the best

Hej Alex!Jag vet att du alltid vill påskynda din återhämtning så att du kan träna mer och hårdare. Köpte en tigertail för några veckor sedan och den har kortat ned min återhämtningsfas med 1-2 dagar, den är grym!
