I use Runkeeper to track my – sporadic – jogging efforts. The feature I like most is the GPS tracking of the route you take. So, as Karsten Kuhnen already tried , I used Runkeeper yesterday to track my round on the 9 hole short course in Pankow. The route overlay over the satellite image is slightly offset, but still very accurate.

I’ll try it again next sunday in the Early-Bird-Tournament in Gross Kienitz (shotgun at 6 am) to see how long the walk is on 18 holes.

Ok, Rory was much older on his first TV appearance, but doesn’t he look almost the same as today )

LPGA App for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad is now available on the iTunes App Store. Go check it out, review to follow.

Talk about setting new records, this is what Rorys four rounds at Congressional meant to the record books:

A well deserved victory for Rory McIlroy, he probably still is out there partying hard (he posted the above picture some 50 minutes ago). Unfortunately, we will not be able to see anything of it on tv this week. There isn’t even any coverage of the BMW International Open in Munich-Eichenried. In the last years there was a daily wrap-up on german tv. What happened? So here is what’s on this week:

I am keeping my fingers crossed for Rory today. He so much deserves it. The way he handles hinmself is extraordinary for a 22 year old! And I am sure he has learned his lesson from this years final round meltdown a Augusta!

Phew, I cannot believe that I tripled my 18-hole count for the year this week. Before this week, I only had one full round to my count this year, after this week it went up to three after playing Motzen and Gut Kaden.

Between the two courses, there were two fundamental differences. Generally, the fairways in Gut Kaden were in better shape, thicker and greener. Maybe the weather conditions in Hamburg were more moist than in Berlin in the last couple of weeks. The most striking difference though were the greens: whereas the greens in Motzen were fast, thruthful and challenging to putt, the ones in Gut Kaden were dull and slow. Almost all of us left their putts short and you had to putt with a sledgehammer to get the ball up to the green.

Not that this fact spoiled our round. But it would have made it so much more enjoyable. The greens showed almost no break, although one putted down a heva slope. Gut Kaden, you deserve better and we know you can do better.
