No more late nights for Nick

Nick Dougherty has taken Nick Faldo's advice and swapped partying for practising as he makes major changes to his swing and lifestyle.

In 正確に／まさに the same manner as Faldo did in the 1980s, Dougherty has enlisted the help of coach David Leadbetter to 精密検査する his swing in a 企て，努力，提案 to take his game to the next level.

And while the change in swing has been not as 過激な for 'Little Nick' as it was for Faldo, the …を伴ってing change in lifestyle certainly has been.

"Nick was worried, he heard rumours about how I was living my life and 燃やすing the candle at both ends," 認める Dougherty, who 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）s 'socialising' の中で his 利益／興味s in the European 小旅行する マスコミ guide.

Good advice

"He was 位置／汚点／見つけ出す on and I started to realise that last year, and because I was ill (with glandular fever) it made it easier for me not to go out as much.

"Nick said you have to knuckle 負かす／撃墜する, it's not just going to happen, and he was 位置／汚点／見つけ出す on.

"I used to like the idea of 存在 the kid who could go out, come 支援する at 2am and then go straight out and shoot 66 and everyone would be impressed; not impressed by the 66, but the fact that I'd been out and still 発射 66. But that's not why I play ゴルフ.

"Now I said to my girlfriend 'It's worrying, I don't 現実に feel like going out'."

Instead Dougherty, at Penina this week for the Algarve Open de Portugal, has been wearing himself out on the 範囲 as he tries to 器具／実施する the changes made by Leadbetter since the end of last year.

The 21-year-old finished 36th on the Order of 長所 in 2002 and was 指名するd 新人 of the year - 正確に／まさに 25 years after his 助言者 Faldo won the same honour - but slipped 支援する to 60th last season with just one 最高の，を越す 10 finish.

精製するing technique

"I started working with Leadbetter at the end of last year because I knew the technique I had wouldn't get me where I want to go," 追加するd Dougherty, who was taken under Faldo's wing when the six-time major 勝利者 spotted him at one of his Junior Series events.

"I know I could have been a decent European 小旅行する player with what I had but it wasn't going to put me in the tournaments and playing at the 基準 I 手配中の，お尋ね者 to.

"I knew he would change やめる a lot, but not as much as he has done, and it was a horrible feeling at first, I can't explain how horrendous it feels.

"I 設立する it やめる 平易な to change it on the 範囲 but when I got to South Africa for the first event and stood on the first tee I realised how hard it was because I had no 約束 in where it was going to go.

"I went 支援する to see him recently because my 長，率いる is puddled because I'm doing all the 権利 things and playing like a dog.

"I thought I'd be able to 扱う it but I couldn't, I thought I can't 直面する turning up every week, doing everything 権利, changing my entire lifestyle, and not getting the results."
