So how come sweden can be so......

[Laka]

.....with a populatipon of 9, 5 million inhabitants can produce so good golf players, when we only have a golf season of approx 8 months per year.
See Anna Nordqvist second on US open and dont forget Annika Sorenstam.. and Henrik Stenson challenging the great Phil from a country of -----how many..???

So what is the answer to that..

Luck!!!!!!!

 

[Capella]

If I remember correctly, Sweden is the country with the most active golfers per capita. Golf is incredibly popular there.

 

[williamalex1]

Luck!!!!!!!

No Laka [ lack of ] talent either

 

[fundy]

wouldnt go too over board, for a nation that has a high % of golfers and has produced so many good players, how many mens major champs have they won between them? now Stenson may change that tomorrow but wouldnt be going too overboard just yet

Ah, the old population and success corollary in sport. Also one of sport's great myths as population has nothing to do with a nation's success or lack of.

Just look at New Zealand, just two islands way down there, far away from anyone else.

Calm yourself, Northern Ireland has a population of 1.8m and has had 4 major champions. The island of Ireland has won 10 majors with a population of 6m.

There is no answer because there isn't a question. The world is full of people who play golf, some of those people will have an extreme talent for it. Where they come from has absolutely nothing to do with it.

Well played so far Stenson.

Laka, I hope your man does it tomorrow! :thup: :thup: :thup: :thup:

 

[Deleted Member 1156]

I will be cheering on Stenson tomorrow, one of my favourite players :thup:

Same way as Iceland with no proper football pitch, league or manager can beat a bunch of over paid and unmotivated Sunday leaguers .. Have some FITB..

in Sweden there is one among many "mental" coaches, siad to the young ladies squad. "Who said that u should be on green on 2 shots and then 2 putt on a par 4 hole. He said, on a par 4 and par5 its enough with one putt, you should always go for one putt.
A few years later was the swedish ladies worldchampions!

is it true: golf is about 10 % technique and 90 % brain/mental!

He should tell them that no putts are even better and they should aim to hole out with their second. They'd be world beaters! Well until someone aims for hole in ones 😉

Here, like you're dead on there mucker, so you are! :thup:
