It’ll will be great event. I hurt my back a bit on second training day, but let’s hope there’s nothing serious about it. I will go and test it today on course so we’ll see.

Let’s just hope weather stays nice for whole next week. Master is beatifull place when sun is shining.

EDGA Order Of Merit: Czeck Disabled Open 2012

Posted on by

First of all. This hasn’t happened never before. My clubs didn’t arrive to destination. So i didn’t have equiptment for doing that what i suppose to do. Well thank’s for Jana and Mitch, i was able to get this some sort of set of Clubs. So at least i was able to play a bit. But like everyone knows, it’s not the same. I had 9 clubs, no driver and my six iron was broken after first shot. So not the best way to play competition. I had to buy hat, tees, balls, glove. Rent clubs and play with my sneakers because they didn’t sell any shoes. Flighing company was Norwegian, so sadly to say i think i’m not gona use it again…

I liked the course. I wasn’t the easiest one, but you could make a score there. Especially if you had your own clubs. But no can do, i did what i could. My two exellent caddies helped me through rough spots, especially for second competiton round, when was raining and i was wondering could i play, because i didn’t have any spikes on my shoes…

Overall, it was great arranged tournament, and hopefully i’m able to play there someday with equipments that i have been using 😀

EDGA Order Of Merit: Italian Disabled Open 2012

Posted on by

First Tournament of a year Was held in Italy 8.-10.5.2012, north from Milano, place called Golf Dei Laghi. Course was extremely challenging and beautiful. I played my first rounds this year there so no expectations about everything and have to say everything felt quite good. It looks like all effort i’ve put on wintertime is worth of everything. Quite unlucky in couple of places and if you’re playing strokeplay it makes easily your score terrible.

But no worries. Season is just started and i still have good feeling that i’m on right path. Looking foward next competitions.

Thank you for Paola and Danilo once again for organazing great event.

Results from Finnish players:
Category B:
Tero Peltola (7. let’s hope you’re back on A category soon!)
Johannes Siikonen (15.)
Markku Korpimäki (16.)

Category C:
Toni Vihavainen (4.) Well done Toni!

 

Chipping, putting and training, training, training

Guess what i’ve been doing. a lot. yes, compared to last year/winter i’ve been training, training, training. On indoor halls. Chipping, putting, swinging. Hopefully i’ve been able to get rid of some of technical mistakes i’ve been doing. Stenna has been great help for me. I’m also much more confident about my shortgame. Still lots to do, put i think i’m on right way. This picture is last year from Sweden WC. Just to remind me that season will start soon and winter will be over… hopefully very soon…

Thank you everyone about Year 2011

Year 2011 is now over, but training for new season has been on for two month’s now. It’s time to say thank you for all of you who has believed in me and supported me during year 2011. Without support it wouldn’t be possible to play on European tour against players around the world. So especially thank you Terapeija Oy, Printmix Oy, Golfroom and of course my home course Master Golf Club.

Here’s some best moments and unofficial award ceremony from my point of view from the  year 2011:

Season 2011 is over. Not in GolfRoom though :)

Posted on by

Season 2011 is officially over now. Last weekend we had our season ending session with Tero, Markku and Toni on place called GolfRoom. On GolfRoom you can play golf in simulator, there’s always summer, so it’s great place to play golf even in middle of winter. See you there 🙂 I also want to thank all my supporters this year. Without you playing on European tour wouldn’t be possible. But no time for me resting. Next season is coming soon and practice has started already with my new coach Stenna Westerlund. It’s going to be interesting winter. You can read more from here. Take care you all readers 🙂
