It
has been a good two weeks in Sweden and Ireland. Not
the end results I wanted but big steps forward and they
have left me feeling very good about what's in store
for the rest of the season.
First off, Bro Hoff Slott Golf Club in Sweden was a
fantastic golf course that I really enjoyed playing;
a course designed specifically for the Ryder Cup, which
for one I hope gets it, as it would make for a cracking
encounter. It can be stretched to 8,000 yards which
is ridiculously excessive but it does create options.
We played it around 7,500 which was much more sensible,
especially since it weaves its way around the water
on most holes. The last day was brutal weather but overall
a very enjoyable week as Stockholm always is.
From there we went on to Killarney Golf & Fishing
Club in Ireland where they really pulled out all the
tricks and bathed us in sunshine for the majority of
the week. I'm pretty sure it was the first time I've
ever used sunscreen in Ireland!
The course was refreshing to play, tree lined fairways
making you think and shape shots all day long whilst
set on the edge of Loch Leane and the national park.
I played some really good golf mixed with a bit of very
average but the quality of my shots have really improved
and the confidence in my driving is improving all the
time. It was great to get into contention briefly after
a final flurry of birdies on Friday even if I didn't
take advantage of it over the weekend.
Lots of positives, mainly how well I am swinging the
club now. I feel like I am back to full health and am
now able to work as hard as I have always done and things
seem to be all coming together nicely.
Its a shame I now have two weeks off as I would have
loved to keep playing but it will be nice to catch up
with friends and family before a long end to the season.
I'm back in action at the Czech Open and then I'll be
playing most weeks all the way up to December. The season
is only half way through so there is still lots to play
for and I cant wait to see what I can do in that time.
