Hello everyone. A couple of days ago I finally started chipping. Nothing extraordinary, just shots that don’t go beyond fifteen metres, but at least I’m back to practising. Little by little, with caution and as I feel better, I will start using all the clubs until I reach a normal practice level and can go out on the course to play. It’s been more than four months since I underwent surgery to repair a tendon in my left wrist (I had the operation on 24 September) which had completely torn during the Portugal Open, a mid-September tournament that I couldn’t finish. A more or less reasonable goal to return to competition could be the Spanish pairs championship, which is played in Izki in mid-April, but, I repeat, it will be necessary to take it step by step, depending on how the wrist responds.
In the meantime, there are other ways to get closer to competition. And there is one in particular that I’m really looking forward to, it excites me. Next week I’m going to be caddie for José María Olazábal at the Staysure Marbella Legends, a tournament on the Legends Tour held in Aloha.
Chema was a bit hampered by a shoulder injury, but he has already told me that he is training quite normally, playing nine holes daily, so this coming Saturday and Sunday he will be here and I will accompany him to practise in Valderrama, before starting the tournament week in Aloha.
This year, in case you didn’t know, I am also busy with the Golf Beginner Instructor-Technician Course, but precisely because of that I’m also excited to have a change of scenery, carry Chema’s bag, help him as much as I humbly can and get closer to competition in this way. I promise to tell you how the experience went.
