Wondering if the people here have the same problem, where's the ball....Have been reading on several websites here in Norway about the situation of norsk golf.... There are many different meanings around and about that's for sure. Have also read several opinions about the substainability of a tour like OPGT and people are writing that they have no belief in a system like the one I came up with. That's ok, I have also my doubts after this season with no tournaments being played because the lack of players. That's my question. Where are all the players? I for one have no idea and maybe there are next to none here in Norway? Maybe they are not willing to pay the money themselves for playing a such tournament? Maybe the clubs are not willing to help them pay for the entry fee? Maybe, maybe, maybe... I will be trying again this next summer and have recieved just positive vibs from the courses that said yes this past season and that they are willing to try and help out next season as well. I had in the begining many people that wanted to jump on the bandwagon and "help", but I must be honest and say that was a big learning experience in itself. The only people who helped were the clubs that said sure to the idea and that have a vision of where professional golf is going here in Norway. I would love to have the possiblity to help improve the situation for my fellow pro's but I am in a situation where I can just do what I can do, myself. I must say - that's really ok too.. I have more or less given the idea of being a club pro up, being treated like crap the last two clubs I have worked at has left such a foul taste in my mouth that I just can't jusity using more of my life trying to accomplish something in the sport of golf at the club level here in Norway. I know that coaching the hoopsters will give me more satisfaction than training a bunch of spoiled daddy's kids. The kids I meet through the hoops are willing to shut up and work their butts off to achieve their goals and I must say it's really refreshing to see that kind of work ethic. Golf I would assume will be more about myself and my own kids in the years to come if not for an act of God or something. I have missed playing the game this season, once my knee is fixed maybe I'll have the time to devote to practice, improving, playing and seeing what happens... The little guy won't let me not play, he's still playing inside every chance he gets and we've been doing some putting at the club... ;-)
