SwingScore record holder 2015 Win Challenge Tour by ASG
When I first launch CaddiePlayer in 2013, my first thoughts were how does it can benefit my own country? as at the first place it’s because of my country Switzerland than I could built such a machine to calculate innovative Swing Score, PuttZones and many more great Data to improve someone's scoring.
To me, as many others, serving our country really means that "I want to be a part of something bigger than myself". In golf, bigger them myself would certainly means seeing a Swiss Citizen playing full time on the European Tour* and be proud every week when I am there, to see the Swiss Flag officially somewhere at the Player Lounge or at the Range. As back then Swiss Players were no where near... The paradox of Swiss Golf is that for some powerful economic reasons Swiss Companies LOGO are in every Major Golf Tournaments but still their citizens TOP Elite Golfers not*.
When early 2014, I contacted the Swiss Golf Authority (ASG) to introduce about the added value from CaddiePlayer, they put me in contact with Joel Girrbach. After receiving 10 rounds (this is a good number of rounds to average the Data), I got impressed by Joel's Data SwingScore at 68,3! I then immediately inform the ASG.... Today, I am proud to see Joel Girrbach making history by winning last week the Swiss Challenge Tour in Sempach his home Club.
Let’s hope next year The Swiss Flag will finally be back on the European Tour. Until next time, Stéphane
