With his last hole save par from Zone3 (9 feet) Legend Bernard Langer ends his DPWorld tour career with a emotional speech. 

Bernard Langer made his DP World Tour debut in 1974 and would go on to play over 500 events, claim 42 wins including two Masters Tournaments, win the Harry Vardon Trophy twice and star in the Ryder Cup as a victorious captain and player.

He revealed he was immensely proud of the legacy that he and fellow European greats Seve Ballesteros, Sir Nick Faldo, Sandy Lyle and Ian Woosnam - known as the Big Five.

Langer quotes: "I had lots of ups and downs in my career, there were difficult times with the yips and other things but I had many wonderful moments. It was a privilege to play with the Big Five as they call them.

I think we spurred each other on and I believe we probably made the Tour in the 80s and 90s what it is now, what it has become. It was fun playing against these guys and the youngsters now bear the benefits of that."

Knowing to be a struggler putter, Langer out performed Zone3 (56%) still was to many times in Zone4 (16), with 3 drops on the last round (SwingScore 76) to Miss the cut by 3 shots. 

Bernhard Langer Gives God all the Glory:

Langer made it back to the Butler Cabin in 1993 with a four-shot victory at the Masters, the widest margin of victory in 10 years at Augusta National. Fred Couples helped him put on the green jacket.  Then came the live interview with CBS, and a question about how special it was to win the Masters for a second time. Langer couldn’t help but mention that he had won on Easter Sunday and how important that day is to Christians.

It is exciting to see leading sportsmen using their talents to bring glory to God. If all of us “seek first the Kingdom” then we know “all things will be added unto us” Matt 6:33. What an amazing promise from our Lord and King!

Crans Montana, Switzerland

Its with great honor to find out today that for the first time in the history of Swiss Golf a man (Joel Girrbach) will represent Switzerland at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Thanks to the "Reallocation" process quota places from IGF, Joel (61th on to final Golf Olympic qualification) did benefit from unused quota as from July second.

Joel Girrbach was part of a CaddiePlayer/SwissGolf pilot project dated in 2015, during this period Joel entered 39 rounds into the CaddiePlayer protocol guided by CaddiePlayer founder Stephane Barras.

Interesting enough Joel Girrbach current best career results was at the China Open where he posted a Top3 on the DPWorld tour and China is where the CaddiePlayer protocole was developed (2009-2014) and one of the research participant, Justine Rose won Gold in Rio 2016 with a score of -16.

Beeing from my Mother side French and having coached several tour player at the National Golf Course where the Golf Game will be played is a dream come true, I am looking forward to see if one of them* will get a medal"

Raising together, CaddiePlayer MOTO

CaddiePlayer since 2018, Pakistan’s Ahmad Baig scooped victory at the Nam A Bank Vietnam Masters, posting a blistering seven under par round of 65 to grab the clubhouse lead. With five birdies and an eagle at the US$85,000 Asian Development Tour event, he did enough to secure his second ADT win – and second in Vietnam – to cement his position at the top of the ADT Order of Merit. Baig was supported by caddie, Salman Jahangir, a seasoned golfer himself, whose partnership with Baig has proven formidable and productive.

Quote from Ahmad: “Bogey free and I’m very happy with seven under and very happy with my second ADT win.”

From Bollène, France @AirBnB,TheMastersWeek it was by Stéphane Barras 

While the entire golf world was focusing at Augusta with my cousin and some friends following the greatest like Tiger, Phil and Fred, I was in Tourettes, France Terre Blanche Resort for the launch of the 2024 season LetAccess TOUR Ladies Open.

I had a bussy week, looking for "theFamilie" Player Hilinski, meeting the "GolfNStyle" Journalist Diederichs and cheering up for our new comer "CaddiePlayer" just turn GolfPro as well a "SkiTeacher" Emily Molard with a positive week making her first cut playing Sunday! Not forgetting Linkedin "theResearcher" Mactaggart and last and not least my "HomeCourse" Crans-sur- Sierre's Ambassador Tiffany Arafi finishing the LadiesOpen Terre Blanche one shot short of a top10! 

My week in Terre Blanche resort brought as well a great surprise: A lunch and a deep/intense PuttZones talk with PGAtour Caddie Sam Bernard currently on the bag with Ryder Cup star Francesco Molinari.  As promise to Sam here below TheMasters benchmark data of Winner "Scheffler" versus T12 and best ever French finisher at TheMasters "Pavon"  (2018 PuttZones user).  

   Question from Sam: What is the Take Home Value from PuttZones?

I quote: The PuttZones divide the Putting Green into 4 perception circle (Tap-Short-Medium-Long) by knowing the overall Distance of the First putt and its result we can then breakdown the IN ration and better understand what is missing in terms of number of IN putts versus number of FEET putts and use specific PuttZones teaching aides to improve Putting SCORING that should be under 30 per round.
