05.11 The Spirit International Amateur:
Norge i praksis langsjakk
Meget svak juniorinnsats ble det i denne turneringen
som ble avsluttet lørdag kveld. Norge ble i praksis langsjakk. Kina stilte med
spillere som var meget svake og langt unna det nivået som de andre lagene hadde.
Norge ble sist - bortsett fra Kina både blant gutter og jenter. Det var
skuffende. Men vi skal huske på at vi er langt unna vår egen sesong i Norge. Vi
har sett dette i amatørsammenheng i mange år. Norske amatørspillere er sjelden i
god form i november.
Kina var 90 over par i bestball! Og var hele 74 slag bak Norge. det som verre
var, var at Norge var hele 13 slag bak Sveits på den nest siste plassen med 16
over par i bestball totalt. Det var bare de tre nevnte lagene som var over par i
turneringen. Turneringen var flott i seg selv. Synd med det svake norske
spillet.
USA vant totalt og i gutteklassen. Korea vant - neppe uventet - jenteklassen.
Norge ble nr 9 i 2007 og nr 16 i 2009. I år altså nr 19 av 20 nasjoner.

a biennial event that alternates tournament years with the World Amateur Team

golfers (two each). All players must be official citizens of their country. Each
country's National Golf Association/Federation establishes its own selection
criteria. However, national champions, finalists or top ranked players are the
majority of participants. (76) National Amateur Champions participated in The
2009 Spirit.

Bronze commemorative medals are awarded to the top three places in each
competition.
