Solheim Cup and a great Captains Performance

This weekend I have been walking past the TV more than usual. The Solheim Cup has gripped me more than usual because I have spent the past few months working closely with captain Alison Nicholas and her vice captains.

The Europeans had never won on US soil so the challenge for the Captain was to shape the perceptions of a team that was minus Annika and to believe that it could do a job and come back with the cup.

Sunday I was no use to anyone. We went to a friends birthday party which I spent most of the time in front of SKY working out how many points were needed. At one point it really looked POSSIBLE and then a couple of shifts in momentum put an end to a very good spell.

Interestingly Laura Davis said she felt like she had done enough and "a couple of pars" would do it. That is the mind drifting into the future. Stay present. I look forward to Killeen Castle in 2011 with some trained brain clients competing for Europe.
