Westwood is unstoppable.

Lee Westwood is 20 under par after 36 holes which is so freakin unbelievable awesome good. The course isn’t easy, as I said before the greens is pretty firm, the course is played long with thick patchy rough and  the weather has been quite windy. However I’m laying 23rd for the moment just 19 shots back on 1 under par . Trying to motivate yourself to play for 2nd place instead.

John Daly gets some Japanese contenders for ugliest pants on tour. Love the Japanese looks though. Crazy colors always the latest equipment..

Was looking for some sunscreen at the clubhouse.But this one felt a bit too high. Will your skin be see thru if you use this?

09.55 tee off tomorrow.  moving day!

See you

Update from Bangkok

The final event for this year is played in Bangkok on Amata Springs GC and is called Thailand Golf Championship.

The course is in great shape. Long and will be played pretty tough cause of  the quite undulated greens.

This hole is Awesome:

17th is Played between 120-140 meters. Cool island green which you can only

get to by:

Boat…

I have not been happy with my game lately so I put in a lot of work after the pro-am. It was not only me who is struggling a bit. The Japanese “Tiger Woods”, Ryo Ishikawa also stayed at the range a long time. Afterwards you can see how popular he is… In the end he got tired of standing so he setup his own press conference for all the Japanese journalists. Routine…

Some Changes in the bag:

- First of all the equipment center didn´t have any Golfpride full chord grips in Black, so I took them in white instead. Can say that it felt weird the first few shots…

- New Driver, Callaway Black Legacy… A new Callaway driver only available on the Asian market. It´s awesome though. Less spin then my R11 but i can still curve my ball from right to left.

- New 3-wood, Callaway Black Legacy 15 degrees..

Last show for the year. Lets end the year in style.

Rick

Working!

Will post some swings tomorrow and try to explain what i´m working on. The Two last days has just been about tempo though. That was the main thing I struggled with last week. My technique was there but the ball flight was so inconsistent thanks to my bad tempo.

Will do some better blogging from now on!

Bye

No Europe no cry.

What to say? unfortunately I sucked my own….. in Hong Kong.However no need to cry. It ´s just to pre per  better for next year and take a win early in one of the co-sanctioned events.

I´m back at Black mountain to practice for our final event on the Asiantour, Thailand golf Championship. Gonna be a great field, Rory McIlroy, Lee Westwood, Darren Clarke etc etc.

A good week of practice here in Hua Hin so we can show the big boys who rules in Asia.

Time for food!

Ciao

Birthday dinner.

Can´t say that I celebrated my birthday with great golf so I bought myself a nice dinner instead:

Chicken red curry around the corner .

Henning helped me a lot with my technique the last days but today I thought to much about my swing instead of just playing.

My plan for tomorrow is just to go out and do my routine and we will see how far that will get me!

Soo long

/Birthday boy!

Hong Kong by night….

Had a great day on the course.. Went thru the all parts of the game and then played 9 holes. Starting to get some more power in to the ball again. Haven´t got any pressure in to the ball lately but now it´s back. So now I almost need to speed down a bit so my tempo doesn’t get to fast.

Saw the draw for Thursday. 12.10 with Quiros and Mannasero. Gonna be good fun.

Hong Kong is beautiful when the dark has fallen.

Some shopping today again. Hope i don´t break the limit soon

See you tomorrow.

Rick

What up Hong Kong?

The Hong Kong Golfclub is one of the most fun courses I’ve played. Pretty short and old stylish with small greens. The condition is not superb but it´s nice.

Stretching out his neck…

…Something this guy needed to do when we arrived to Hong Kong.

My swing coach Henning is here this week. Done some nice progress on my movement and we are also working on our shopping skills. Hennings girlfriend will not be as happy with this though .

Two good tournaments and a little bit of sweden.

Had two good tournaments with great shortgame and solid tee-shots, just what i have been working on to improve. The ball striking was not really great but i hit a lot of greens somehow, but much thanks to receptive greens.

I´m at the moment 151 on the Race to dubai rankings. So instead of going to spain and play stage two Q-school i can get in thru playing Hong Kong. I just have to be top 150 after that week and I get in to final stage anyway. So for me it´s like a q-school tournament .

On Sunday I got back to Thailand and spended a night in Bangkok with some friends. on Monday It was time to get a feeling of home:

Ikea.

Billy, check…

The meatballs, check!

And a bit of swedish language, check.

Will travel to Hong Kong already on sunday to practice with my swing coach Henning. Until then two days of practice  on Black Mountain.

Ciao
