Emil Frey AG Garage Zürich Nord

Since a few weeks, the Garage Zürich Nord supports me with a great car. I got a Ford Kuga which you can see on the pictures. It has been individualised with a photo of mine and signature. My brother Martin, who is also a golf professional got the same car with his pic and signature too. Both of us are travelling now by car to national and international tournaments.

The car is great and has many extras which makes my travel journey as safe and comfortable as possible. Thanks to the Garage Zürich Nord for this great support!

On reserve

Korea

Just shortly after China, the Ladies Korean Open will be played from 6th to 8th November in South Korea. Unfortunately also there only 45 europeans will enter the field directly. For many players this travel is more complicated to organise, so i am awaiting my chance to enter due to cancellation of european players. At the moment I am 8th reserve, we will see what will happen there.

Golf in Down Under

/0 Comments/in /by
Par 73

Super Start

Thursday during the first round i played solid golf. Especially my short game was great, this was important as the greens were very small. If you missed the green shot it was essential to have a great short game for important savers out of the bunkers or savers around the tiny greens. The first day i was ranked 28th, amazing the same ranking as super stars such as Karrie Webb and Yani Tseng.

Par 73

Black Friday

Unfortunately i was not able to play as solid as previous day. I had physical leaks and therefore my score on the second nine were just too high in order to keep the total score low. A disappointing 82 was listed as the end resultat of that black friday. I felt too week to hit the ball as i used to. I was disappointed but life goes on.

Top result

The final 21st ranking in New Zealand made my trip overseas as successful as it was. I could make some important steps into the Money Ranking listing of the Ladies European Tour 2010. A big advantage to the players which have not played any tournament yet .

I am looking forward to the first tournament which will be organised in Europe. It will be the Nations Cup which will be played in Spain mid April. My team mate will be Frederique Seeholzer and both of us will be representing the Swiss Nation.

Practice, practice & practice

Now i am preparing myself within the upcoming 4 weeks. The last 3 weeks tought me that i am able to keep up with the very best, but i need  to have more consistency and keep up for all 4 rounds. I am really positive about the experiences i made Down Under but nevertheless i am looking forward flying back to South Africa.

A little mistake

/0 Comments/in /by
Rain, rain and rain

Difficult preparation

The practice round on Thursday had been cancelled due to heavy rain. All practice areas had been closed too. Therefore it was not a surprise that the Pro-Am which should have taken place on Wednesday had been cancelled too in order to let all players give the chance to play the course prior to the tournament.

Starting Time: 6.50 am

First on the course

I played in the first group on Thursday morning. During the whole round i felt confident. Due to the rain the course was soken wet and this means the ball would not roll, more having a back spin on the Drive… The course therefore got very long. I even needed for second shots long irons or even woods into the greens.

The big mistake happened on the ninth hole, whereas i missed my drive… on top of that i even hit the greenbunker, which was very wet. My first bunker shot remained in the bunker and so on… in the end i had to write a tripple bogey (+3) on my scorecard, a sad ending of the round.

Starting Time

All or nothing

With mixed feelings i started the second round. I knew i had to give everything and play my best golf in order to enter the final field. I felt comfortable with my swing and i managed to play four birdies but also four bogeys which means a par round of 72 shots. I unfortunately missed the cut by three shots. And immediately i was thinking of the 9th hole of previous day where i played a tripple bogey (+3).

Positiv

Learned lesson

After each round i analyse my rounds. This time i learned the lesson that i always have to give a 100% and remain concentrated until the end of the round. If you want to succeed within Top players worldwide, this is an absolutely MUST!

First tournament

satisfied with the tournament

I am happy about my game this week. After a great two weeks preparation in South Africa i traveled to New Zealand. Although i felt confident, i did not know what i could expect here in New Zealand. It is difficult to judge on the preparation without competing with the best players within a tournament.

With solid scores of 73 and 72 shots (+1) i was ranked 36th and i would pass the cut for the final round quite easily. A good start if you consider the strong field of the participants.

3rd round

70, two under par

Throughout the whole week a strong wind would be present on the course. Playing a score of 70 (-2) would allow me to do a big jump on the ranking upwards from 36 to the sensational 11th place. Although i had to share this ranking with other 9 players i was really happy!

4th round

Flirting with the Top 10

In the end of the tournament i can say it would have been possible to enter the top 10. But unfortuantely the score of 72 shots in my last round was not low enough to do so. But a solid 21st position within a strong field is a great achievement for me. 10 Bogies and 11 Birdies lead to a total score of (-1) for the tournament.

Tournament

Wintergolf in the Engadin

For many years the wintergolf is part of a long tradition for me to participate. Just a great start into a new season!

Every golfer who gets the chance to participate in a tournament on snow ground should do it. A one-lifetime-experience – even the low temperatures could prevent me to participarte.

February

Back to practice

Now, beginning of february i go back to South Africa to meet and practice with my coach. I am looking forward to get used to my new Titleis clubs (special new groves), before i play my first tournament of the year.

Until then i will be busy to get my body and my physical condition in shape. I noticed, that there is still a gap between my golf and the players which are top ranked. Therefore i took the chance to get prepared during the winter months. I feel good!

Ladies European Tour

New Zealand and Australia

The first tournament on the LET will start in february 25th in New Zealand. I am looking forward to play on a new continent i never played before.

After New Zealand the calendar sends me to Australia. I do have good memories as in Australia i already played as an amateur  the world cup in 2008. Therefore i am looking forward playing two tournaments, hopefully i will succeed as successful as in the past time as an amateur, a good sign and a big challenge.

These tournaments are a big chance for me to see where i still do have some space for improvement, perfect to get prepared for the season in Europe to start.

Asia

No tournament in Asia

I will not play in the tournaments in China and South Korea. In China I did not get a spot to play. So there was no possibility to be part of the Suzhou Taihu Ladies Open. For Korea I moved into the field just before entry deadline. The tournament is one of the smallest on tour with a prize money of 200’000 Euros for a three day tournament. It was hard to decline this tournament but the expenses to get to Jeju Island in South Corea are very high and the trip is long. So after thinking over twice i decided to focus more on the next tournamentto come up.

South Africa

Practice for the last tournaments of the season

I will be in South Africa for the next few weeks where I have perfect practice conditions. For me it is very important to stay in good shape till mid of December. I hope to play the Dubai Ladies Masters and that I will get the full tour card after that event. I hope to get the full exemption for next year, in order not to go back to Tour School back in Spain. The courses and especially the greens in South Africa are in good condition and just perfect for me to practice.

I am motivated to give a 100% for the rest of the season 2009 on the Ladies Euorpean Tour!

12th Place in Tenerife

/0 Comments/in /by
Preperation

Praticeround and Pro-Am

The preparation for the open in Tenerife was great. I immediately felt comfortable with the course and felt good with my swing. It was difficult for me to get into the game in the beginning, especially after 2 missed cuts, but my motivation was soon back. I experienced new issues in Austria and France which i was trying to implement within the upcoming events. (including prescious tipps from my coach Regine)

Thursday

75, three over par

75 (+3) was the score i signed the first tournament day. No putts would fall. The greens were really difficult as the greens were not just fast but also ‘graini’. I always needed watch the growth side of the grass. After this unlucky round i was on 78th ranking, for me it was clear, i would need to play better scores to enter the final field.

Friday

68, best result of the day

7 Birdies!! Yes, today i played the best round of the day. My caddy and i got used to the graini and fast greens, a big difference to the first day. More putts did fall… Patience would pay out now.

Saturday

75, again three over par

Thanks to the previous round i jumped from 78th directly on 10th ranking. For the first time i was smelling top 10 ranking… i might have been too tense to swing relaxed. Too many chips remained too short and also putts would not fall. I knew i needed to play an extraordinary last round in order to get important order of merit points.

Sunday

70, two under par

9.30 am in the morning, the same starting time as the second tournament day. It was early when i arrived to the golf course but already incredibly warm. Already on the first hole i started off with a birdie. My caddy and brother Mathias had a good eye on putting lines. More birdies would follow on the holes 4, 13 and 18. Thanks to the last round i finished the tournament on 12th ranking, which is my best individual ranking on the LET so far. Thanks to the good ranking i would be able to improve my ranking which was very important. If i manage to remain within top 80, i would be able to keep my LET card for next year.

With Re-Ranking playing SAS Masters

New categorie

Re-Ranking

After one third of the tournaments there was a Re-Ranking in the categorie 10a and 10b. There is only one categorie 10 now. And I could improve by 16 spots. I am on position 5 now.

From now on I will have more possibilities to play tournaments on the Ladies European Tour. This is important to improve my ranking and to get the card for next year.

2. Juli 2009

Donnerstag

Der erste Tag auf dem Golf in Larvik fing gut an. Ich war immer um Par aber konnte einfach nicht genügend Birdies spielen, vor allem auf den einfachen Par 5. Die Par 3 waren dafür lang und schwierig. Nach der ersten Runde war ich knapp ausserhalb der Cut Line.

SAS Masters Norwegen

3. Juli 2009

Freitag

Die vier ersten Locher habe ich gut gespielt. Ich habe das Par immer gemacht, auch aus schwierigen Situationen. Ich habe den Ball gut getroffen, vielleicht zu gut. Da ich die letzten zwei Wochen intensiv mit meinem Pro gearbeitet habe, konnte ich meinen Schwung verbessern. Oft war ich zu lang. Ich habe die Bälle über das Green geschlagen und die up and downs (Chip Putt zum Par)waren schwierig wegen des dicken roughs. So entstanden viele Bogies.

Lichtblick war aber der Eagle auf dem 18 Loch, auch wenn es dieses mal nicht zum Cut gereicht hat.
