Well, after leaving home at 3 am to get to heathrow and flying to Copenhagen, myself and wonder caddy Dunkles had to get an internal flight to the island of bornholm on a proper jalopy plane and I can assure you that I had plenty of squeaky bum times as the plane was an old propeller type and small so was being blown everywhere with turbulence. As you can gather, it did make it safely ( although my bum did try to eat my seat a few times :-) )
the accommodation is apartments and they are awesome !!! I am obviously sharing with super dunk and we also have mike in our apartment too so we will have plenty of laughs and jokes which is exactly what you need to disperse the nerves on these big events.
So after a long journey and not a lot of sleep it is an early night in order.
Practice day 23-9-12
Got to have my first look at the beast that will be the test to sort out the European champion and it is certainly not to be taken lightly. The course plays quite long and the premium is definately on putting the ball into the correct position from the tee and keeping out of the bunkers are a must as they are very deep and tough to play from. I had the pleasure of playing the practice round with a fellow Brit :-) ( mike lincoln ) and Manuel de Los santos and of course I had super dunk on the bag. I played well (75) and had a good look round the course so that me and dunk could get the caddy book up to scratch in preparation for day one of the tournament. All in all, I felt prepared and ready for the tournament and for whatever may happen. With 95 competitors from 15 nations the standard of golf here is fantastic and realistically I am hoping for a top ten finish and I will consider it mission accomplished. So for now bloggaroos, it's time for the monk to get into bed and dream of birdies :-) I will update after the first round is completed and will include a link for the live leader board.
