3. Rang in Bossey

22. August 2018/0 Comments/in Aktuell, Blog /by Caroline Rominger

Nach dem Anna Nordqvist Turnier in Schweden, ging es direkt mit meinem Infiniti nach Genf (Bossey Golf Club). Dort fand die zweite Ausgabe das Bossey Ladies Championship, presented by Pitch & Play, statt.
Es ist eines der grössten Turniere der Ladies European Access Tour mit einem Gesamtpreisgeld von 50’000 Euro.
Bereits am ersten Tag konnte ich mit zwei Birdies auf den ersten drei Spielbahnen starten. Die erste Runde konnte ich schliesslich mit einer 70 (-1) abschliessen. Den zweiten Tagen startete ich auch wieder mit zwei schnellen Birdies und konnte ihn mit einer 69 (-2) auf der Scorekarte abschliessen. Somit war ich nach den ersten zwei Tagen auf dem geteilten achten Rang und am Finaltag dabei. Am Finaltag konnte ich im drittletzten Flight starten, jedoch mit insgesamt fünf Schlägen Rückstand auf die führenden zwei Ladies aus Spanien und Finnland.
Die Finalrunde verlief gut, und ich konnte auf den ersten Neun -1 und auf den zweiten Neun -3 spielen. Es gelang mir sogar fast, ein Eagle auf der 15, weil ich aus 80 Metern die Fahnenstange berührt hatte. Sechs Birdies waren es an diesem Tag und auf das letzte an der 18 bin ich besonders stolz. Denn dank diesem Schluss wurde ich mit total sieben unter Par für das ganze Turnier, Dritte.

Das ist bis jetzt mein bestes Resultat im 2018 und ich konnte mich im Jahresranking auf den 19 Rang verbessern. Es heisst auch, dass ich für 2019 die volle Tourkarte auf der LETAS bereits jetzt sicher wieder erspielt habe.

Weitere News gibt es noch zu meinem „International Pro Am“ in Holzhäusern. Neben der Scotish Open Gewinnerin habe ich auch die Zusage der Longest Drive Weltmeisterin bekommen. Also nichts wie anmelden, wenn ihr Lust habt dabei zu sein.

Liebe Grüsse

Sechs Wochen Tour mit einem Top 10

22. August 2018/0 Comments/in Aktuell, Blog /by Caroline Rominger

In den letzten sechs Wochen war ich in Frankreich, Finnland, Tschechien, Schweiz (Lavaux), Belgien und Spanien. Der Turnierkalender der Ladies European Access Tour hat es uns so vorgegeben.

Die Resultate wurden von Woche zu Woche besser und das Vertrauen in meinen Schwung und mein neues Material von Callaway wurde auch immer grösser. Die Highlights der sechs Wochen waren ein 19. Rang am Lavaux Ladies Championship und letzte Woche ein 9. Rang in Spanien.

Im Turnier in Spanien konnte ich mit Runden von 67, 69 und 70 mein erstes Top 10 Ergebnis von diesem Jahr erspielen. Der Platz liegt mir sehr gut, er ist strategisch, eher eng und die Greens nicht all zu gross. Ich konnte in den letzten Jahren genau auf dem Platz insgesamt dreimal in den Top 10 spielen.

Weiter habe ich tolle News zu meinem ersten grossen eigenen Event. Das Eventkonzept von meiner Diplomarbeit an der HTW in Chur werde ich im Golfpark Holzhäusern umsetzten können. Das „Internationale Pro Am presented by Caroline Rominger“ findet am Montag, den 24. September 2018 statt. Falls Du auch Lust hast mitzuspielen, melde Dich so bald als möglich beim Golfpark Holzhäusern an. Die Anzahl Plätze ist limitiert. Alle weiteren Details findest Du bald auf Facebook, Instagram und Twitter sowie auf meiner Homepage und der von Holzhäusern

Ich wünsche Euch einen schönen Sommer und viele schöne Golfrunden.

Countdown for Dubai

6. December 2010/0 Comments/in Blog /by jessica

3 Weeks

Training in SA

After my tournament in Asia I went to South Afirca. My practice time there was very good and I had great conditions. I worked a little bit on my swing with my coach Val Holland. I had also time to check all my clubs with my clubfitter Reece Mayberry at Fancourt. All my lay and loft angles are back in position and I am hitting my irons very solid. A big thank you to my team.

Dubai

Ready for the tournament

In the Money Ranking I am in position 102. But more important is the Exemption Ranking for me. Out of that ranking all players are getting the categories for 2011. The top 80 get a full card and 81-90 a categorie. If I do not make the top 90 I would have to play the Q-school, that will take place in Spain next week.

» Exemption Ranking
» Money List

Situation

My categorie

Right now I am in position 90 of the Exemption Ranking. If I play well in Dubai I can still get my full card, if not I would probably need to go to Spain. But it also depends on the results of the other Ladies.

It is a bit complicated but please cross your fingers for me this week and I am sure I will have a great week in Dubai!!!!

next tournament

DUBAI MASTERS

On the Leaderboard

22. November 2010/0 Comments/in Blog /by jessica

Thursday & Friday

Leaderboard

In India i started off like a rocket. -3 after after nine holes and my name appeared on the Leaderboard in bright letters. I felt very confident especially with my short game. I could not keep up with the pace of the first nine and the second ended in +3. Difficult to analyse why i dropped some shots but i definitely know that i can keep up with the best. Nevertheless a good par round, followed the next day by a 76 which meant a tied 38th ranking for the moment.

Sunday

Two tournaments to go

The tournament in Delhi is a smaller event and only played on three rounds. I felt like on a rollercoaster that day. After a double bogey, followed by another bogey i was +3. I am blessed with a great caddy, i managed to birdie the next three holes and i was back on level par. A disappointing Trippel bogey, followed by another bogey… +4 = 41st position.

Four weeks

Sum up Asia

Four tournaments in four weeks: I made two cuts and i earned some money (39th and 41st final rankings), which means each approx. 1000 Euros. At the moment i am ranked 102nd in the money ranking list.

LET

Exempt von Pre Q-School

A highlight to mention is: I made the Final Stage at the Q-School. All players who were ranked within Top 120 after the Indian Ladies Open made the final stage. For sure not the final goal as i would like to qualify directly for the LET 2011. So i will have my last chance in Dubai to collect the missing points. If not i will head directly to Spain after Dubai for the Final Q-School. The legendary Dubai Masters will start 8th December on the Emirates Golf course. I am looking forward to it!

First tournament in corea

12. November 2010/0 Comments/in Blog /by jessica

Pro Am

A different Pro Am

The Pro Am before the tournament is a very special occasion for the korean golfer population and i was part of it. A six seat golf cart is seen allover the places. But very exeptional are the corean tea houses after 6 holes. You are not allowed to skip group in front of you, no, you have to sit down and have a meal, yummi. It was an honour playing with the swiss ambassador and i learned a lot about the korean custom.

KLPGA

5.5 hours… 1 round of golf

The Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association’s (KLPGA) ruling had to be followed an example: instead of teeing off from two tee boxes (1 and 10), we had a shut gun, whereas everybody started at the same time but on different holes. A disaster. We had to be patient as sometimes we were a few flights on the same tee waiting to play.

Many european players were not used for such a slow play, Laura Davies (GBR) one of the favourite player mentioned: ‘I just lost my rhythm’. She played a round of 78 (+6).

Rounds of 76 and 79 would not be good enough to make the final field. What a course, 5896 m length, wow! On top of this we were on sea level and it was pretty cold and windy, therefore no extra length on long shots!

Highlight of the week was my eagle on hole number 14, i chipped in a sw from about 45 meters.

» Korea Open

Korea

Experience

I am glad i went to Korea, i learned so much. Korean players are just the best players in the world, it was amazing competing in the same tournament. The big difference between them and myself is the short game as the long game pretty much the same. I call them the machines as soon the approach the green. Just impressive! No wonder their scores are low.

India

Next stop Delhi. After that tournament i will come home to Switzerland. The last tournament on the LET will be played in Dubai in December.

A great season finish

Dubai

Countdown Dubai

I travelled to Dubai and i was really looking forward playing the final tournament of the season. I practiced the weeks before in south africa, together with my brother Martin. We had a great time and practiced a lot, happy to see that he is in good shape too.

Improvement

An ongoing target

This tournament in Dubai will be the last chance for me to get enough Order of Merit points and to ensure a full exempt. 2011 tour card. It would save me a trip to Spain to the final tourschool stage.

Results

73 and 73

The first couple of days i felt comfortable with my swing and i played solid golf. Sometimes i was wondering why i would not score lower… Anyway i largely entered the final field, yes, i made the cut! Happy and motivated as i was approaching my goals.

Weekend

A round of 80 shots

Playing among the best 60 players during that weekend was an incredible experience. Michelle Wie, Laura Davies, Lee-Anne Pace, Tanja Elesogui etc just to name some players, who would fight for victory that weekend.

I had a bad start and i would not find into my game. After nine holes i was +7. Thanks to my caddy (brother mathias), i had a great support at my side. He cheered and motivated. The second nine holes i started all over again as every shot would count.

Final day

69 (-3)

The final round i started off very early in the morning. To be exact at 7.39 am. I was determined to play at least a par round, i needed it to ensure a 2011 full exempt. tour card. The first two holes i birdied each and during the whole round i felt confident and determined. I finished as i started with a birdie and i signed a score of 69 shots. Only three other players had a better score than mine.

Exemption Ranking

I made it!

After the final round i knew i was getting the 2011 tour card due to my 77th final ranking in the OM standings.

A moment to say thank you to all my sponsors, family, supportives and fans.

THANK YOU FOR BELIEVING IN ME!

Wishing you all a merry christmas and a blessed 2011.

Yours Caroline

73 and 72 not enough

Ladies European Tour

Open de España Femenino

…It’s raining again…. Oh no but as so many times this year again RAIN. I am glad having good rain clothes from sunderland.

The friday’s round was a big chaos. We tried to start the round several times but in the end the whole golf played that day was cancelled. The tournament was cut down to three rounds. Rounds of 73 and 72 i did miss the cut by three shots.

Even the three under par on my last nine holes was not enough….

Two good weeks

24. October 2010/0 Comments/in Blog /by jessica

Vienna

Just not made it

On the course in Föhrenwald i finally could note better scores again on my card. New thoughts on my swing, not easy. But shortly on playing the tournament i hit the balls just in the middle of the club. The difference of entering the final field or not were a few putts. With Rounds of 73 and 74, i missed the cut by just two strokes.

» UNIQA Ladies Golf Open

Paris

Great Golf Course

Last weak i participated at the Open de France which was held on the well renowned Paris International, just a dream that course. The first nine so different and not to compare with the back nine…

Mathias

Caddy Tournament

Wednesday was special day, as not the ladies, but our caddies would play on the Wiener Neustadt course. Interesting to watch Laura Davies carrying a bag. Just a laugh and great day for all involved. My brother Mathias did great. A great performance from a greater brother. We really merged to a fantastic Team. Thank you This for all your excellent support!!!

Results

Ranking 53

Rounds of 73, 75, 70 and 75 ended in a solid 53rd total ranking at this year’s French Open. I travelled back home, packed with positive memories. On top of this i am ranked second for the statistics of: most played par’s in a row. 😉

Next stop

Spain

Escaping the cold weather in Switzerland and heading for spain. A short stop over in Zurich and already in Spain the day after. We are going to play the course Flamingo Golf at this year’s Spanish Open.

Improve every day!

4. October 2010/0 Comments/in Blog /by jessica

China

Tee Time 6.30 am

I felt i was hit by a horse, when i saw my first starting time. 6.30 am! Altough the hotel is located nearby the golf course, it was really early. My alarm clock would ring at 4.30 am.

74 and 73

Improve every day

The Taihu Golf course played long, these days. It was quite cold (11 Dgrs) and the fairways were hardly cut, that means no roll at all. Compared to the tournament in Sanya the balls would not fly so far here, which caused some problems to some of the players.

As i am rather a long hitter, this would not bother me too much. I would start the tournament with a 74 followed by a 73.

72 Par

Finalday, sunday

The final day i was playing with Karen Lunn, an australian former LPGA player and 9 times winner on the LET. She is a so called living legend, at my point of view. It was an honour for me to play with her and in the end i even beat her thanks to a solid 72 that day. Some more 1-Putts could have… Whatever, until the 14th hole i just played pars, some of them were close to get -1. Every day a little improvement, this was great!

Austria and 2nd Re-Ranking

25. September 2010/0 Comments/in Blog /by jessica

Austria

Not in top 60

Rounds of 75 and 76 were unfortunately not good enough to enter the final field of this year’s Austrian’s Open 2009. I missed the cut by 3 shots.

Unfortunately my balls would not enter the holes. My iron shots were pretty good but the putting was just not what it should be.

I was in Switzerland for practicing hard on my game.

On monday the tour goes to France, my next tournament on the schedule.

Last Week

Second Re-Ranking

After two-third after all tournaments on the tour the second re-ranking has been done in the category 10. I improved my ranking for three positions, therefore now second in my category. The next re-ranking will be done in 2010.

» Exemption Ranking

This week i am playing in France. I am so happy my coach Regine Lautens will accompagny this trip and that i will achieve thanks to her support a great tournament. Regine will support my game for 3 days, i am so greatful and happy for this.
