Men's Group Getting it Done

Here you have the Men's group pitching in the range... Something I hope they understand is GREAT practice.. Hitting sand wedges over and over is one of the best practice tools there is. Some might think it's boring but think of the best players in the world.. they hit thousands of wedeges every week.. So.. just accept it men... it's for your own good even if you don't like it.....

Rikard with a 12th place at P4 Hauger

Better Rikard better!! With a 75,73,76 Rikard Halvorsen one of my students had his best tournament so far this season. I know it's still a little disapointing for him not to play even better, but you are playing better and things are coming along good! Just keep working hard and rest your arm a few days now and next time you'll be fighting it out even more on Sunday! It's not easy to play with an injury and I think you played well this past weekend!

81 and a WD

Ya ya ya... Played ok yesterday actually.. 10 pars, 1 bird, 4 bogeys and ooops three double trouble. Gave away at least 6 shots. Tournament tough.. not quite. Tanja was sick today and I had to stay home and take care of the little Leon. Sad to pay 1000,- kr and play just one round but that's life. Gonna take a break for a while and try and establish a plan for getting t tough. This year I've played good in trainings, social rounds but have not got the job done in tournaments. I remember last year I had a stretch of like 10 tour rounds with scores lower than 78. It's not like that's super great but I won twice last year and maybe I've been putting undo pressure on myself to preform well this season. I don't know really, maybe I need a skrink.. hahaha. If I look hard at the facts the answer has to be practice, practice and more practice. I have not practiced as much as I should. I need to take a break and then get back at it. Will be opening my teaching book wide open for the next 6 weeks. Book your lessons in good time because the book does fill up fast when I'm back in full teaching business.

Back in Norway

Whew... what a trip back to Norway today, planes were late, running through airports, and almost not making it home. I am very glad to be home with Tanja, Amanda and Leon. Looking forward to getting back at it this next week. Tomorrow we have a group of 20 kids from Saltnes Grade School coming at 11am, they are choosing to have their last day of school out at Onsoy Gk. This Friday thru Sunday it's time to tee it up at Hauger GK in Oslo, playing the P4 event there. I am looking forward to being "Tournament Tough" this time out!! Anyway, it's real late now and the pillow is calling. More to come tomorrow!!

This is what you see when you look out the back at our condo in Windsor Green. The Wizard and the Man O War golf courses.

"Tournament Tough"

Been awhile now, was a little depressed after the tournament in Kristiansand. Had a good friend tell me that he thought I was feeling sorry for myself and that I was thinking to much about looking good rather than playing my game and being what he called "Tournament Tough". Not sure if I totally agree with his saying I was more worried about looking good, but he is on to something with me being more tournament tough. I have played great in all my practice rounds this year, but something has been missing in the tournament rounds. I guess I just need to get tough and give a rats ass in how things look and all that and just play my game. I am in Myrtle Beach now taking care of some family things and will be coming home the 18th. I have not played scince I have been here but am looking forward to practicing and playing a bit in the next days until I come home. The weather here has been over 40 degrees everyday and with the humidity it makes it real hot. Thank goodness for air conditioning. Nothing really more to add, looking forward to getting home to my family and being "Tournament Tough"!!

Bjaavann Golf Club

View walking to the clubhouse. A Robert Trent Jr designed course. Played hard and fast today. Pro-Am tomorrow and the real deal starts on Friday. Played ok today... Looking forward to playing and practicing tomorrow.

4 meters up and no chance

This is not something you see everyday. Played with a couple students the other day and forgot to post this. Maybe with some rain this ball will be playable again. Just a little funny to see a ball so long up in a tree. I will be leaving for the P4 tournament this Wensday and will be gone until Sunday, then on Monday I have to fly to the US to take care of some family matters and will be back on Wensday the 18th. I am not real happy about having to leave in the middle of the season, but as stated I have some family matters that need my attention. Thanks for the season so far to all the members and quests.
