Oivalluksia kierroksella

Tänään opin paljon. Suurin oivallus liittyy rautalyönteihin. Muutin hiukan liikerataa ja heti tuli 10 metriä lisää pituutta jokaiselle raudalle. Tosi vaivattomasti! Tänään oli muutama hyvä draivi joista tietysti viimeinen draivi, joka meni veden yli ja matkasi vastatuuleen 230 metriä, oli ehdoton huippu! Valitettavasti ei ole tarkkaa mittaa, mutta draivi on tullut ilmassa sen 200 metriä! Suoritus ei tietenkään kelpaa kriteeriksi putterin hankinnalle, koska sitä ei voinut mitata. Sanonta kuuluu: " ei niin hyvää avausta, ettei sitä pysty kakkos lyönnillä pilaamaan". Tänään se ei pitänyt paikkaansa, vaan toinen lyönti oli nätti 150 metrinen rauta 6:lla ja putti sisään. Hieno lopetus birdieen. Nyt vain nestetankkausta, venyttelyä ja suolaa koneeseen... Huomenna on uusi päivä.

Two weeks and I'll play in Spain

Picture is from Las Ramblas Range and my father is showing me how he swings a 5 wood. It's very important to be motivated - and very difficult to keep it up. First big question is what is the driving force behind ones motivation. Why play golf? For me it's probably need of attention and need to prove to my self that I am "good". (I can learn to play golf in one season - better than average golfers can in their life time. Well, I know I am cheating - I practice, more than others.) So how to keep being motivated? By creating small steps - like two weeks in Spain. It's a good opportunity to test my current skills. Next step would be opening May. I get to play outside and I have also a body composition and physical condition test on May. (I get to know my body fat and VO2max). For June, July and August I am think of local competitions. Final step is September and it does not need an extra motivation. Then I'll know if the project has increased my skills enough. Ve...

10 000 swings before spring

Just realized that if I do 100 swings a day, I can make 10 000 swings before the greens will open in Jyvaskyla, Finland. I can do the 10 000 swings, but probably I can hit only about 1000 golf balls. I visit the range only once a week. But if I use my shots carefully concentrate on each ball, I think that is enough to learn a solid, basic swing. I am sure that I know most of the basics. Now I just need to get the right touch and feel to the swing. Just a feeling about golf as a social game - it might be so that people are together, but still just concentrating on them self? We all have our own goals and play an individual game. So golf might resemble our society a lot more than I first realized. This must be why the game appeals to middle aged males like me. Also someone said that one should talk too much during a round - so that's easy/natural for Finns, too.

Have some cake - it's my birthday!

Today is my 48. birthday. For my birthday I just finished 11 email lessons of golf with Lawrie Montague at Golf Academy. http://www.golf-school-australia.com Get the lessons! I'll add a quotation from Lawrie's email: "Thankyou for your comments on my lesson series and you're right the lessons are simple and for good reason, golf instruction tends to be ambiguous and complicated, and really it's not that difficult to learn how to hit better, more consistent golf shots and ultimately lower your scores. Hannu as long as you truly develop an understanding about what you are trying to do and then follow-up with consistent thoughtful action golf becomes less of a mystery. Good luck to you and your adventures in golf and please let me know how you're travelling down the track." Consider this a "slice" of my birthday cake to you:-) Hannu - learning and living (Modified from McLuhan's "learning a living)
