All the christmas celebrations are over and I’m feeling great!!! Family time is fun! Have had three days in a row without harder golf practice, just an hour here and there. I’ve done a lot of gym and cardio work though and feeling fresher than ever. Always, when I stop practicing golf for a little while, my whole body relaxes and gets energized and start craving for golf again. Taking a short break can sometimes be the best medicine if you are tired or just been playing bad for a while. After a few days of just gym work or total relaxation you will feel fresh and ready to go again. Back when I was a junior, I used to caddie once a year and that was great motivation as well as a good break in a hectic summer season.  

Playing golf as a junior in Sweden, the season was very short. It started in early April and ended in October depending on where in Sweden you lived. Maybe the long winter break was good for us to get away from golf and try other sports. Maybe it wasn’t the best for our golf careers. Who knows? All I know is that I’m happy I tried a lot of sports to see what sport I liked the most and also get the all-around training. The sport I miss the most is skiing. Not that I competed in skiing but I skied a lot as a kid. All Swedish kids do. Now, I’m too scared to go all out in the slopes and risking getting injured. I like golf too much for that. I get enough adrenalin kicks from playing tournament golf nowadays but I love the feeling of being in the mountains and the freedom that comes with it. 

But, now I have a few great weeks ahead of me. First, a training week in Hua-Hin, Thailand with some other players and straight after that ”The Royal Trophy” is coming up in Bangkok.  I’m so looking forward to get nervous again! After Thailand, the European Tour starts in the Middle East with tournaments in Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Dubai. If I play well in those, I’m heading over to America for some great tournaments. Hold your thumbs please:)

Once again, I haven’t planned my upcoming training camp in Thailand, but I know my motivation is on top and that my energy levels are high so I’m hoping for a great week! 

Hope you all have had a great Christmas!
