Ok, yesterday I had a great day, 69 shots. Today, not so great, 74 shots. Game was good, weather was better and I was motivated . Although, the best I could do was 74. I wanted to be up there top-ten going into the weekend. Now. I´m laying around 30th. Still a chance though!

I will never be able to thank my college golf coach, Mike Holder, enough for what he thaught me during my four years at Oklahoma State University. He is tough, he is the most competetive person I have ever met, he is smart and he loves golf! When I got there in 2001 I was very nervous of meeting him and playing for such a good school. After four years, I was so happy to have played there and believe I learnt things I couldn´t have learnt anywhere else. My game was a lot better as well, which was the main idea:)

Coach Holder had a few things he  thought were keys to great golf. Today, he would not have been proud of me. He was never mad if we hit a bad shot. All he tried to teach us was how to prepare for a shot, how to handle the outcome of the shot and how to prepare for the next shot. Getting mad at a bad shot usually throws you off balance and you hit another bad one right after. He made it very clear to us because he always penalized us with a shot for every cuss word, throwed club or even a small gesture that showed we didn´t like the previous shot. Today, I got so mad for three putting on the 5th and followed it up with a triple bogey on the 6th. If I wouldn´t have gotten so mad and instead have tried to refocus for the next shot, I might have made a birdie instead. 

Another thing Coach Holder always thaught us was to never make any excuses whatsoever! Ever! I like that, I tend to never make excuses. Today though, I was making excuses for my bad putting because I thought the greens were bumpy. No good! Have to get better at that!

Last thing I want to mention that Coach told us was whenever someone asks you about your score after the round, always tell them your score and nothing else. He then added, ”because half the people who asks about your score don´t really care what you shot, the other half wish you would have shot higher”. Today, I kept going on when people asked me what i shot, ”I shot 74 but I had a triple on the 6th”. Who cares if I had a triple on the 6th. Final score is all that counts. Gotta get better at that as well:)

Now, it´s time for some Entourage. Gonna watch some old season to spice it up a little!:)
