Good day:)
avCloudy day at the course today but perfect weather to play in. Was paired with Trevor Immelman who won the 2008 Masters Tournament and Tongchai Jaidee who has won a few times so it was inspiring players to play with. Trevor is really systematical on the course and is a perfectionist and Tongchai is the opposite. He plays fast on instinct and feel. Im somewhere in between maybe, hard for me to tell but I would guess so. Trevor shot 2 under, I shot 1 under and Tongchai 3 over. In this tournament, we change pairings every day so tomorrow I play with Ricardo Gonzales and Rodney Pampling. Will be a fun day.
My game felt ok today so I´m excited for the next three days. The stronger club face feels like it´s the drill to go to for me at the moment! My drives definetily goes a lot further than when I had my club face open at adress. The course plays really nice here and the greens roll even better and faster than previous days. They are so smooth!
After the round, we went straight to the Mercedes-Benz test drive circuit to try some cars and to get a ”lift” with a master-class sliding instructor and then with DTM driver Bruno Spengler in a serious fast and powerful car…looks like a space ship:)
Felt so sick after going around with this guy…He was soooo good at driving it was a joke! Thought we were going to crash in every corner but somehow he managed to save the car and our lives. Impressive!
Talked to some friends down in Australia this morning and they are true golfers…they breathe golf and they have built their own course in the backyard of their house. Rodger Paul and Will Kendall are the builders, architects, greenkeeping staff, players, boardmembers etc of this course…whatch out for these guys in the future!!! The course looks in great shape I would say, not long, but very tight and tricky:)
I´m gonna make one of these if I ever get a house with a backyard.
All the best guys and see you soon!
