Hole 14 at Moss & Rygge

Played yesterday with a couple of my students at Moss & Rygge Golf Club just outside of Moss, Norway. The weather was great at 08:30 and we felt like we must have been in South Carolina. The course was in good shape, I thought there was quite a bit of clover on some of the holes but overall the course was nice and the greens were rolling real good. Fun to putt when you feel like you can really roll the ball and have it hold the line and if you happen to miss a putt (which never happens to me.. hahaha) you can at least not blame the quality of the greens. Played from the tips, hit the ball better twords the end of the round and ended up -1. Looking forward to practicing and playing the next days inbetween my teaching. Leaving this wensday and I am excited to play down in Kristiansand that's for sure!!!!

Tanja and Leon...

We were at the twins confermation yesterday and this was a nice place to take a picture of the two of them. Amanda was at Grandma's house. There was about 30 people at the event and we had a great time with good food, nice weather and people. The twins had a great time and we were happy to see that. There has been sorry to say little golf for me in the past two weeks, have been busy here at Onsøy, doing the final touches of the new house in Saltnes and trying to spend as much time as possible with the little guy. As everyone knows time flies and he will only be so small once. Will be playing and practicing a bit the next ten days or so before I will hopefully play in a P4 Tournament in Kristiansand. I did not get into the one at Nøtterøy, but no biggie, I'll just have to make the most of the chances I get the rest of the season.

Leon is moving..!

Here's the little guy at Grandma's house in Norway. He's more and more mobil and seems to enjoy everyday! Eats good and sleeps through the night. Tanja is a wonder, gets up with him every morning at the crack of dawn. My teaching duties keep me at the course until late and when I get home I'm still a little wired and need some time to relax and am in bed a bit late. I am lucky to have such a wonderful wife and the worlds best mamma!! Otherwise things are good and we are enjoying the little gift we have been given!!!

Fredrikstad Kommune

Here's the group we had from Fredrikstad Kommune. A fun group to work with and they seemed to like trying the great game. Hoping we can follow up with this group as well as others and get some more people playing this wonderful sport. Thanks again FK and we hope to here from you all again.

Onsøy's 14th Green

Now you can really see the different colors and that season is really getting started. The course is in good shape and the greens are rolling pretty good. Played today with one my students, Trond and we had a great time.

Moss and Rygge

Hole 17 at Moss and Rygge golf club. Played with Rikard, Steve and Fred. Played pretty good -2 but it was from the regular men's tees. They didn't have the tips set up. The course was in good shape and we had a great time.

B Boys

Was nice to see some of the juniors again today, had the girls first and the B Boys after. We got in 3 holes after helping out with picking the driving range clean for balls. The course seems to be in good shape and after the greens recover from the "air" work it should be in great shape. I am feeling better and am looking forward to getting in some practice and playing in the days to come. Nice to be back in the swing of things here at Onsøy. Talked to lots of members today and it's super to be home again.

Feeling Better and Back to Business on Monday

Ya da... I guess having the fever for a couple days and trying to play was not good for either my health or golf game. Missing the cut by a mile and driving the 9 hours home I was feeling rather under the weather. Slept for 15 hours from yesterday until just about a half hour a ago. Feeling a bit better now and am looking forward to getting back at it tomorrow! Going to spend the day drinking lots of juice, tea, water and get my strength back for the next push through the season. Thanks for the messages I have recieved and I look forward to getting back to business.

43 shots and 45 putts....

Did not see that coming, 88 strokes total.. Might be the worst putting round ever for me. My only explanation/excuse is that I was in bed all day yesterday with 40 fever.. Had no fever today but was most certainly not myself.. Will have to have a 'lifetime' round tomorrow to make the last round...
