that someone writes in his/her blog on this page....

Sweden is experiencing a so far very varm summer, and as always, we can never get a normal summer. Either we have 15 degrees and rain, or 30 and humid as hell. Today is a little bit better, but still some "tough" weather with too high tempeatures. For us whining Swedes that is....

I played in Jonkoping this weekend, In 3 rounds I made mistakes on 4 different lanes only, played very good on 14 of the holes, too bad all 18 counts and no bonus points for style and finesse...

The countdown for the Swedish Championships has started. I am back in my boys room in my home town preparing for the tourney. Since we are expecting a record of 158 players to the Felt and Eternit courses in Kungalv. (record these days that is, my first Swedish Youth Championships 25 years ago we were almost 200 kids playing....). But like Dylan wrote, The times they are a-changing...

Next week will be interesting, the courses in Kungalv are fairly easy, there can be combination rounds down towards 40 for the best players. I guess somewhere around 27-28 on felt and 20-21 on eternit will take the win in the end. But in perfect conditions and with good game we will see many 18-rounds and maybe the Swedish felt-record of 22 shots broken to pieces. There are 4 lanes where you need some luck for the ace when playing through obstacles, but the rest are fairly easy to ace 1 by 1 and at least 9-10 aces per round should be made, if you wanna compete with the best.

If the temperature drops a few degrees to stay around 20 I will play my Maier Classic 1 on 13 holes on the felt course....

See some of you there!!

PS. I think the fight around the last 2-3 spots for the Swedish Men team to Odense is interesting, please use the commentary option on the news flash recently added to stir up some interesting thoughts and discussions. I am part of the whole story so I will not comment further besides hopefully with my own game in Kungalv. But please do add your opinions!
