or best achievement of the year?
Anders Olsson won the Swedish Championships by 6 strokes, "slowplaying" over the finish line. After 5 of 6 rounds on the felt course in Jonkoping I believe he was 15 and 16 shots better than Jonas and Carl-Johan, excellent felt-play in my opinion. He almost broke the magic 27-line on felt in average at the end.....
He was as always an important part of the Uppsala Team winning the Swedish Elitserie and the European Cup! I believe he was 3rd in the individual standings at the EC.
At the European Championships in Tampere he finished 5th before the match-play.
He was awarded a prestigious scholarship in Sweden last fall (received in January 2009).
Do I vote for Anders then? well, yes and no, I don't really care that much, I know who I think is the best player etc. but it is not up to me to decide, and that is not why we play minigolf anyway. I just thought I should throw in some fuel for the discussion....
I went to Tampere myself as a tourist to watch the tournament, one major reason beforehand behind that decision was to see if Jesper would make it all the way, which I thought he could.
With a betting system I could have made some money. Having breakfast with Hans B. the final day, I clearly stated that Harald would play Jesper in the final, pretty good prediction......
