Hi again, i hope some off you guys have tried some discgolf this summer, if not. there is still time!
I will write some about my frist competitions as a "Pro". Don't know if you care, but i will do it anyway.
My goal in every major event is semifinal (top 24 or 36 depends on the field)
It started with the fist of 5 SMTD (Svenska Mästerskapstouren i Discgolf/Swedish championshiptour in Discgolf)
Falköping Sweden 27-28 May
It started out with dubbels on friday when you and a mate throws 2 disc on every hole and you take the Best shot of you to.
And i played Jesper Lundmark, Ranked 1 in sweden and 8 in the world.
And we played with a other pair Markus Källström, ranked 2 in sweden and 9 in the world, and he played with Daniel Strandberg, ranked 8 in sweden and 57 in the world.
I was so nervous and i started on hole one, where everyone who was waiting for there groupp to go around 30 guys. i was so nervous i'm glad that i even got the disc out of my hand. but the throw wasen't so good but i got half way =).
we finnished
5th of 30.
Singles: i played okey not so much better but it got me to the semifinals (top 24 of 74) where i played realy good. I even got a hole in one on a hole.

The next event is
European Open, Tampere Finland 25-27 August PDGA Major.
This event you need to qualify to, You need to be top 10 in a eurotour. i made it in iceland. The best players in the world will be here. So if you want to see some great discgolf, go there and watch. I will be there. Rounding off the field i guess =) .

Right now i'm ranked 28th in sweden. aiming for top 20.
and on 6th place in SMTD ( one to go so i guess i will fall back some, the 4 best results count. and some players only have 3 results.) But if i get top 10 i'm realy happy.
