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.”

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.
Is Thomas Colombel, autiste golf Professionnal from France, bringing the game to new grounds?
A CaddiePlayer since 2024, Thomas is going strong with a WIN at 12 under par 36 holes first Roissy Paragolf Open supported by UGolf and the France Federation of Golf (FFG). We are looking forward to see how Thomas will evolve not only on the ParaGolf circuit where he currently lead the France order of Merit yet as well against everyone else on the other Tours like the Alps, Challenge and more opportunity that will come to along.
Interesting enough "autisme" according to some research perceive the game of golf as one perfect environement to elevate themself.
Quote from Psychanalyste Sandrine Vialle-Lenoë
"Golf’s routine should not require any effort for autistic people, because routine presents itself as a necessary solution. The repetition of the swing, its tempo, rhythm, are part of a whole responding to their quest for immutability."
A CaddiePlayer since 2018, Ahmad Baig is reaching new high by winning the first 2024 Asian Development tour stop in Vietnam at -7 and with it taking the Order of Merit lead.
"To win is always a special feeling. I’m so happy, first win on an international tour, actually my third win in a row, two in Pakistan last week and this is the third.”
