It was very weird flying in to Nice airport when it was raining! It’s always sunny and such a nice view from the airplane when flying in over the water and landing on a little half island just outside the city. But not today. We could barely see out of the windows because of the low clouds and heavy rain. It felt good though coming down here and I’m looking forward to 9 days of good training!

I was going to go straight to the course but since it took 2 hours to get the rental car and it was raining cats and dogs (slight exaggeration) I went straight to Monaco. And straight to the gym at the Monte Carlo Country Club, host of the Rolex Masters tennis tournament in the spring every year. It’s the first clay tournament for the ATP players. I remember watching Robin Söderling loosing his first match of the tournament there this year. But, since then he hasn’t lost many matches this year!!!

The whole complex of the Monte Carlo Country Club breaths luxury and tradition. The locker room looks very posh and very old. The gym though, was new and fresh and overlooking the water. Therefore the price, 24 Euros for one session…I need to find another gym!

 

I suck at making plans for my golf training…need to get more structured. Don’t know how to do it! Any suggestions or advices? Tried so many times to plan my days and weeks and years, but everytime I fail to follow them. I get boored of knowing what I’m gonna do the next day! Maybe it’s good to not plan ahead. Although, I want to make sure I practice the right amount and enough on all areas of the game. It’s so much easier to plan for the physical or the mental training.

All I know is that I wake up in the morning and feel excited to go practice and play golf. Maybe that’s all that matters.

Tomorrow it’s gonna be good weather. I just hate practicing in the rain…it’s hard to get good quality practice. 

These are the cars you need in Monaco when you are looking for parking spots:)

Have a good night!
