Hi there,
Arrived back from Mallorca late last night. I've never been to the Spainish Island before, the amount of holiday makers was incredible. I tried running on the road next to the beach everyday and it was like making my way through the pack!
Result 74- 73 -73 = +4 38th approx 1500 Euro (just enough to pay the bills and Myras caddie fees!) Mark James won the tournament in a play off with Eamonn Darcy.
The course Son Gual was fantastic, fast undulating greens, well positioned bunkers and lots of water. I will be interested to see my stats for the week on the European Tour Web site on the Son Gual results page. I know I was 3rd in driving accuracy and 7th in distance on the frist day.
I was also well up on greens in regulation, but I'm sure I will be too low down when it comes to putting. Although I didn't three putt once, I missed too many from fifteen feet - don't think I could take another lip out!!
Next European Seniors event is Ireland (Ballybunion) and I find out if I'm playing on Friday when the entries close.
Will keep you posted.

Son Gual Seniors Open
Bank Holiday Monday
With only four days to go before I stand on the first tee in Majorca it's time for last minute preparation. It's too late to work on any part of my long game, the hours have been put in over the last two months - it's time for fine tuning and short game work - and packing!
Just looked up the weather for the weekend, sunny and warm so no need for sweaters, perhaps I will be able to wear the shirts I bought last year that never had an airing...too wet!
Myra's on the bag this week, not her first time, we finished 28th last year at Stoke by Nayland (Yes - where I was fined for 'club abuse'). Every week I see much worse than my only loss of temper in the year. Can't believe I was reported.
If you can stand it, have a look at live scoring which you can access on the link above, and check out my latest articles on Suite101.com. Apart from practising I've used my spare time to write (furiously - 40 articles to date). Mainly about golf, but other topics as well. You can access the site on this link for all my articles http://www.suite101.com/profile.cfm/johnhoskison or go to my web site where there's a link to the last three.
After the Son Gual Open I will post all the news on this blog, and will let you know what's happening on the Seniors Tour.
Any questions you have about golf please ask - might even write an article about it!
