Welcome to Louise Friberg

"Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want"

I got a lot of experience last year! Most of the year felt like an uphill battle. Fortunately 2009 is done and over with and 2010 is a year I am looking forward to!

This winter I have worked very hard on both my game and also on my physical abilities.

The fact that I did not get what I wanted last year motivated me even more this winter to get the process going to get my game back to where it belongs and then some!

I went back to Sweden to reconnect with my coach Rikard Fors. We took a break in 2009 but now back working together and it feels great!

He is a big part of why I even made it to the LPGA tour so I am happy that we are working together again. read all »

Thank You all for you support and I will see You on the course!

 

I am in the British Open!

27 July, 2010

Yesterday was a good day in that I made the qualifying for the British Open. The course we played was very nice, it is called the Hillside Golf Club. The weather was less than copperating but I managed to end the round at +1 which got me a spot without having to be in a playoff.

Since there is Pro-Am all day at Royal Birkdale here today and there is no play all day if you are not in the Pro-Am then I decided to play a quick 9 holes and just to have seen parts of the course. This morning I walked the front nine to get a glimpse of the rest of the course. Tomorrow is the last practice day before the tournament starts on Thursday, so I will head out for a round of 18 holes.

The course looks awesome. There a bunkers as well as some thick grass in play and the wind will determine how agressive I can get on a few of the holes. It should be lots of fun this week. There are many of my friends on the LET who are playing this week so there is a bunch of catching up to do which is always fun!

Now I am off for some more putting practice.

Boat, sunglasses, bbq, golf and fun!

23 July, 2010

I have had so much fun this week since we got back to Sweden! A top moments are both when we were out on the water with “Lunkans” motorboat on Tuesday afternoon. It was an all day thing and there were five of us catching some waves:) This week “Öresund” (the water between south of Sweden and Denmark) have swallowed two pairs of nice sunglasses. First on Tuesday when we were going fast on the water, to make the story short Lunkans sunglasses got kicked off from him and ended up in the water, of course there was no way to find them. … read all »

In Sweden!

18 July, 2010

After a good trip we arrived to Sweden on Saturday night. The flight from London to Copenhagen was a bit delayed and so we got in a bit later than expected. I had a 30year birthday party to go to, and Gustaf was going to hang out at his parents house instead (he was not up for the 20 hours travelling and then heading out to a party and then hit the town!). So, I was dropped off at my parents house, ate a little bit and got ready for a fun night out! It was lots of fun to see Maria and some other people there. Then we headed to downtown for some dancing. I met up with a few of Gustaf’s friends and we had lots of fun. Of course, we missed Gustaf but at this point he was well asleep :)… read all »

Getting ready for Sweden

15 July, 2010

So we are going to Sweden tomorrow (Friday) and will be there for about a week before heading to GB to do Monday qualifying for the British Open. I did not get a sponsors invite for Evian Masters, not that I was counting on it at all but I had hopes until the final five spots were revealed yesterday. Bummer. It would have been great fun to get to go there again. I guess i just have to play a lot better instead of trying to get sponsors invites everywhere:)… read all »

Coffee in the sun

13 July, 2010

Yesterday was yet another day of getting things in order as well as of course, having some coffee in the 110 degree sun:), i had iced coffee yesterday though. The pic is from Press coffee which is one of our fav spots for coffee here in Scottsdale. They roast their own beans and we always get the Dethstaar (spelling!?) espresso beans.… read all »

11 July, 2010

Oakmont day 5, the last one:(

9 July, 2010

Today was a much better day on the golf course! I actually plaeyd quite well, too bad that I made 5 bogeys in the last 6 holes. The wind started swirling a little and it was a little tricky to figure it out and to top it off i missed three putts within 9 feet, which should not happen. I am happy that my game was better today though. Too bad that I don’t have any tournaments coming up soon. I might go to the Monday qualifier for the British Open, I am not happy about doing it but I guess I have to if I want to be a part of that tournament.… read all »

Oakmont day 4

8 July, 2010

As you might have seen in the result list, not all days are a walk in the park duirng the US Ooen. I shot a horrible +12 today and I hate to say that they were all bogies. I almost wish I had one big hole and then pars and maybe a couple of bogies, but that was not the case. The good news is that I kept the ball in decent play the whole time with the exception of chipping out from a bunker or two but other than that I just had the ball in play but was not able to make the up and downs that I needed and I did not have many birdie chances.

The good news is that there is a day tomorrow. I know that I am far back in the result list but at least I can make a good run at making it for the weekend.

It got pretty late tonight because we are shipping our car to Arizona and they picked up the car tonight. All that stuff takes a while but now our beloved baby is on the way to Arizona and we will see the car next week sometime:) hopefully;)

So tomorrow I am off early, actually just a little after 8 so we will get up early and have breakfast at the club and the head out for a good round of golf!

Good night to you all!

Oakmont day 3

It will not be ab easy week by any means, it will be a test of game and character where patience will be one of the key components to a successful week.… read all »
