Portugal
After last week playing the Swiss Open I left for Portugal. I had the chance to play a good practice round with Caroline Masson and Denise Charlotte Becker (German players) on Wednesday. It was very windy that day, which made the course very long. The wind was quite challenging on that hilly course. But I can say that I am used to wind, because in the Engadine at home we always have some wind on the course.
A 75, the first tournament day I am not happy with the result. I was hitting the ball good but now putts would fall. But I was motivated and patient for the second round. Although I knew it will be tough playing in the afternoon with even more wind, then the morning. Finally some of my work payed off, some putts would fall and I could sign one of my best scores this year, a 70 (-2) under par round in a strong wind. I gave myself a chance to play the final round on Sunday. To bad I missed some fairways on Sunday and it was very difficult to make it to the green. Grrr...
On hole number eight a par three we asked for a referee. Reeferes are during the whole day on the course on golfcarts and help us players if we have questions about the rules. My flight partner was playing a shot on the par three and a spectator saw her ball about 20 meters behind the green (because she hit the cart path). But when she tried to find her ball it was gone. Luckily the spectator could tell exactly where the ball was lying and the referee gave her a free drop and she played a good par. That was very strange but also funny at the same time.
One tournament follows the next one. This week I am playing in Tenerife on a different course then last year. I do still remember my good finish last year and with that I am looking forward to this week.
