Victoria Golf 2010 – Mix Megapol

2010 Victoria Golf – Ekerum Golf Club on ”Öland” . 16 teams battling it out for the prestigious team trophy. Last years winners team ”Mix Megapol” kept the same line up. Haeggman, HIO Holm, Calle B och yours truly. 9.00 ”shot gun” start ( Hole 5) and already 24 degrees. A solid start was made but not many birdie putts were dropping (not many par putts in my case). As the weather got hotter the quality of golf wilted and it was only really Haeggman that delivered the goods 6 under par for the 18 holes in tropical conditions was a treat to watch. Ekerum was in great condition and when we checked our score cards we finished on a combined total of 132 Points.

The prize ceremony and barbeque was held at Strand Hotell in Borghom and as always hosted by Kay Wiestål ”Mr Victoria dagen”. Kay was in command from the moment he grabbed the ”mic” to the last winners applaud had died down. Team Mix Megapol were on the winners rostrum again. Haeggman won the individual prize for his 67. Calle B was the best amateur 77 and we finished 2nd in the team event. 3rd place 2008, winners 2009 and runners up 2010 is not a bad series.

HIO Holms son CJ and Junior had joined us for the barbeque and we decided a 2nd place must be celebrated. Great barbeque a few beers a couple of bottles of red and we were off and running.

The biggest applaud of the evening was however when Kay manged to persuad Charlotte Kalla to come up on stage for an interview.

Later in the evening we met up with Silver and Snäckan and together with CJ and Junior the people of Borgholm were kept on their toes!

Many thanks to Mix Megapol (for inviting me) and both Ekerum Golf Club and Kay for a great event.

Back at the office this afternoon. Lots to do and it looks like i might not even have time for a few days off next week either. Lifes hard but i am not complaining am i?

The British Open Golf starts at St Andrews tomorrow. My pick to lift the claret jug is Lee Westwood or Ian Poulter both players have been close to winning a major and it feels like Tiger and the other top Americans aren´t really on form at the moment.

What a great stance! My drive at the first. Photo CJ
