Energy…
avStill amazed of how fast some cars are…couldn´t stop thinking about that SLR Roadster from yesterday! Love speed! But to handle speed is another question…that DTM driver Bruno really knew what he was doing!
Played about the same today as yesterday, level par, and didn´t move anywhere, not up nor down, on the leaderboard. I need to hit it closer to get some good chances for birdies. Maybe tomorrow! The only thing I know for sure doesn´t work on the course is to force good results. They come when you deserve them I think. My coach Pete Cowen always says that you get 30% of what you put into it. And a lot of the time you get 0% but after a while you will get a lot and it all equals out to 30%. Do not know if he´s right but maybe it´s close to the truth…
No practice after the round since I´m still tired from last week and my strategy this afternoon has been to try to get some energy for the weekend. Pierre says I should bike 20 minutes on very low intensity to ”wash out” the waste products in the body that makes you tired. SSP Chowrasia´s caddie, who also is a physio instructor, recommended me to take a seriously cold shower to get back in the game. Tried both and it feels better actually. A good night sleep now to really get energized will get me ready in the head tomorrow. Hopefully my game is up for it as well…we´ll see.
Played with Rodney Pampling today. He is a great player and won pretty much all over the world. He didn´t have his best day from tee to green but he has an amazing short game. His chipping, bunker play, pitching and putting looks so easy! The ball comes out soft and with not much spin and just releases up to the pin, and it always looks like it has a chance to go in. Very controlled and very impressive.
My parents came down for the weekend. Every time they have come to a tournament this year I have missed the cut…last year they were good luck but not this year. But, since this tournament doesn´t have a cut they were welcomed:) We did a little sight-seeing in Cologne and saw the Dome…huge church. Can´t believe thay built this so long ago without cranes to help them out…
Time for some youtube searching…any good tips???
See you tomorrow!!!
