| Brussels,
May 16th: Since I'm back from Morocco, I practiced
a lot my chipping. Today, I have a sponsor day with Siemens
at 7 Fontaines GC. Next Tuesday I will be in Bordeaux to play
the Open there on the AGF Allianz Tour where I'm leader on
the Order of Merit. Thereafter I will play in Manchester the
Oceanico Pro-Am on the Challenge Tour.
El Jadida,
May 3th: After a bad 76, 69 today and I'm back in
Top 30. But the great news is that my good friend John Morgan
is in contention for the victory. I'm looking forward for
tomorrow! By the way, we had a serious fog today and 4 ours
delay...
El Jadida,
May 1th: 70 today, I started like a diesel with a
bogey on the 2nd, but then setlled my game and finished strongly
with birdies on 7-8-16-17, on behalve of the bogey on 18.
No wind today, great conditions and obviously good scores...
El Jadida,
April 30th: Back in business on the Challenge Tour.
The course is in fine condition but it is pretty windy and
the greens are quite tricky. Surrounded by eucalyptus, il
has a scent of Dar es salam, but shorter and trickier. If
the weather stays like this, you won't see scores of -15 after
72 holes! Greens are very tight, sometines with less than
10 meters deep. The three last holes, near the shore, are
gonna be tough. They are playing against the wind. On the
the par 3 16 (180 meters), I hitted a 2 iron! 17 and 18 are
very solid. But more than the wind, the tiny greens will be
of great concern to all the players.
Pleneuf,
April 26st 2008: The 70 first holes were
OK, but I didn't like at all the way I played the 2 last ones!
Nevertheless, I have to concentrate now to my next tournament
in Morocco...
Pleneuf,
April 25st 2008: Tough day. Very unfortunate
on 12 ... just when I was coming back nicely. At the end of
the day, it's not bad to be still on the top 10. Birdie on
18 is a good start for tomorrow...
Pleneuf,
April 24st 2008: Another good round in
65 shots. Pretty the same as yesterday but I didn't made the
same mistakes. The course is beautiful, the weather is cold
and windy. The 3 Belgians have made the cut, good for our
fame. Now let's face two more rounds shot by shot, quiet and
patient.
Pleneuf,
April 23st 2008: The first round of this
new season is on the scoreboard: 69, one under. I'm swinging
nicely, pretty happy of my game. I was -4 after 12 holes,
but had then 1 or 2 bad shots, but finished with two solid
pars. So I'm confident about the work done last months, and
looking forward to the next rounds.

Brussels,
January 31st 2008: I got back to the range
with a interesting program drawn up by Michel Vanmeerbeek.
For the first time in 3 years, I accepted his point of view
on modifying my grip to change the way I hit the golf ball.
"A golf swing is a process of constant evolution,
your body is continuously changing. You hit over 10000 golf
balls over the years. But the way you grip the club, there
is not half a chance to get consistency out of it".
Those were Michel's words.
I am testing new
shafts that I discovered at Golfan proshop: I 21
from eagle one made from scandium on my irons and ACCRA graphite
shafts on woods. Joachim checked all my clubs and made one
or two nice proposals.
Next week I'll try
the I 21 (7.0) in some of my irons because the 6.5 I have
now are too weak. From February 23rd I will be
training in Portugal until March 5th with Michel.
I'm looking forward
on putting, chipping on better hivernal conditions. I should find in Villa
Sol the good conditions I need to make sure I made the
right choice on my equipment.
I will be ready
around mid March to play in a couple of pro-ams in France.
Then onto the Challenge
Tour in april.
Till then wish me good luck...
Nicolas
