Notes from a great experience: a bittersweet ending, but an overall more than decent balance

What a shame those three putts on the 17th hole of this final round of the Staysure Marbella Legends… Chema had hit a great 4-iron for his second shot on this hole and had left himself a birdie chance from about six metres, so leaving there with a bogey after missing a one-metre return putt […]

Notes from a great experience: that 4-iron from under the trees…

Second round of the Staysure Marbella Legends. Chema clearly outplayed the course (round of 70, two under par for the day) and I’m not lying when I say it could have been even better. It’s not about expecting every putt to drop; it’s simply that today Olazábal played generally very good golf. To start with, […]

I already told you that I would keep you updated on how this experience of caddying for José María Olazábal at the Staysure Marbella Legends was going. Now, it’s not the first time I’ve carried the bag for a professional colleague and friend. For example, I was with Gonzalo Fernández Castaño at the final of […]

Next week, I will have the honour of carrying Olazábal’s bag…

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 […]

Giving a twist to the long-shaft putter…

In 20 years as a professional, I had never practised with the broom putter. I’ve been feeling comfortable for a while now and playing quite well from tee to green, regaining the best sensations of yesteryear. However, I’m struggling to get results and see myself truly competitive due to my performance on the greens. Solutions […]

With eagerness and motivation, although with a very short and uncertain schedule

I’ll tell you how I see things after my failed attempt at the Asian Tour School. Things didn’t go well there, but I haven’t returned sunk in misery. On the contrary, I intend to compete this year wherever I can. I have the desire and more than enough motivation. My category in the Challenge Tour […]

This season’s calendar based on the Challenge Tour

End of the 2016 season and I’m already in South Africa starting off 2017, where I’ll play by invitation. Well, let me clarify: I’m actually still not in South Africa, but in Zurich, waiting on the plane after a small glitch. Yesterday I set off from Palma de Mallorca where I spent some incredible days […]

Focused on competing, not on how I hit the ball

I can only walk away with a lesson learned after everything that’s happened on the Gulf Swing. Even in the two weeks in Abu Dhabi and Qatar, where the results weren’t great, but I had the right attitude. If I solely focus on the game, I have to say that I think it was good, […]

Now I’m convinced that everything is going to change

A few weeks have passed since my season ended. I had surgery on my left eye again due to a condition referred to as Surfer’s Eye, which I had treated over a year ago in both eyes. Apart from that, I wanted to tell you that I’ve been working with a psychologist lately. I had […]

I’ve lost many of the distinguished qualities I started with

I’m writing to all of you while I spend a few days resting and reflecting, calm and collected, because I suspect that my problems are more about confidence than anything else. I continue to feel that lack of hope. Or better said, the lack of faith in the things that can be changed. It’s as […]
