HLR Golf Academy Open
My first
event in Finland was a great experience. I enjoyed meeting a new culture that
is so close but yet so far from our own.
I don’t know if I will take time of to
visit Helsinki unless there is an event related to coming to Finland BUT it was
definitely an enjoyable experience having come here and i do hope there will be other events in the future.
I flew in
to Helsinki and drove down to Hillside were one other the other players and I had
booked a room at a very nice little bed and breakfast. We woke up every day to
the sound of sheep-bells and the smell of home cooked breakfast and when we
returned in the evening the candles were lit and the fireplace burning giving
us the real sensation of coming home to a Scandinavian cabin.
The course
we played was a fun and different course that had many challenging holes but
also many forgiving ones. I started the week spectacular and was leading after
the first round which was the first time this year. The second and third
round was a bit more challenging and I fell down the list but I did manage to pull
though in the very end and fought back to a 9th place after
finishing 2 under on the back nine the last day. As we have said earlier
this year top 10 is a top 10 so ill take it and fokus on the next event which is coming up in Sweden.
I did collect some birdies and the total count this week was as you can see under - 8
