From my desk in Crans-Montana, Switzerland I am reading/monitoring all the "Stories of agony and ecstasy that unfolded the DP World Tour card battle in South Korea".
Happy for some, surprise from others, emotional from one... and me allready thinking about the 2025 DPWorld season where I shall be more often.
While I am extremly happy for my Countryman Joel Girrbach (109th) achieving his best career result, I am sad for Wu Ashun (115th) missing the cut line by 10 points only, not forgeting a emotional "Green Room" talk from Edoardo Molinari (140th) showing that even the "Master of Data" can't master them...
Girrbach and Wu both players I know well for helping in the past, shows us that life on tour is tough and every shots counts in reference to Mark Broadie remember meeting him at the 2012 Golf Science Congress.
"That‘s a wrap for the 24 season, It‘s been an incredible year with many high‘s & low‘s. Especially the last few weeks were mentaly and physicaly extremely challenging. Probably the toughest of my career so far. So I‘m very happy to keep my card on @dpworldtour and I‘m really looking forward to the 2025 season."
Gregory making his last cut after 560 start with 3 wins and 37 Top 10 , thanks to back-to-back birdies at the 14th and 15th followed by critical par putts at the final two holes for a 66! > Full story
Stéphane Barras, CaddiePlayer and PuttZones founder was there at le National to congratulate Gregory with a souvenir Gift putting tool "MyHole", remembering their Putting work back in 2016/2017 earning over 542.000 EURO in prizes money.

To us at CaddiePlayer, we are more interested to "explore" specific data and point out some that we believe worth to look more into it.
"We know for a fact that to make money playing golf there is mainly three data that matters:
GIR, 60Side Prox and Putting Avg."
As CaddiePlayer exists mainly because of the "PuttZones" system and PuttZones claim/sale 29,99 putts Avg or better. Yet when we see a Player with 36+ Avg, we can ask ourself what was going on there?... and when this Player is from the USA we can be even more asking...
Analysing 500,000 rounds submitted into the Golfshake Score Tracker, it can reveal how well golfers across various handicap categories perform on the greens. Looking at the elite level, in 2021, the PGA Tour overall average putts-per-round is 29.05, with Australia's Cameron Smith leading the way at 27.74 ahead of Patrick Reed (27.85), Ian Poulter (27.96), and Jordan Spieth (28.16) > Reference: https://back2basics.golf/blogs/news/putts-per-round-ppr-vs-strokes-gained-putting
Until next time CaddiePlayer/PuttZones = Putting Avg guarantee under 30!

In FRANCE AGAIN.... July 14th National Day with a win from Japan.
I could not hope for a better 30th Evian anniversary as I was offer to stay with Multiple LET winner and Olympian from India Diksha Dagar and her dedicated Father Narinder.
"Beeing a guest of a Player is always a privilege. Beeing able to stay with her family was a experience that I could only be honored. Sharing cultural and culinar habits is something unique."
Unfortunatly Diksha was not in her best form and after round1 withdraw. Neverless she is now in India to rest and getting ready for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
My main reason for going to Evian was to meet and monitor LPGA star sensation (currently TOP10 in the ROLEX world Ranking) Rose Zhang. With the cooperation of her Father and Mentor, I could gather all necessary data in order to better understand her performance, not to forget to follow Rose a few holes as well talking to her new Caddie Olly Brett.
Yet my highlight at Evian was to meet Malbon founders Stephen and Erica. Ultimatly I gave a lesson to Malbon's ambassadrice and Korean Star Kang So Yeon!It must be the first time I gave a lesson to a player with 1,5 millions Instagram followers and now she follow me :-) ....
