What 7 years can do! I am relating to 2009 because this is the year I started my Tour Coach Life with my first Tour Client, Zhang Lian Wei, back in 2009 China was initiating its "BIG" golf plan! > Thanks to golf coming back to the Olympics.
During the 2009 World cup I had the honor to wear the China Flag as a representative Coach Country > I recall at one stage to see China T5 on the LeaderBoard and I was proud of that effort. Later, I was fortunate to be able to get close to their current Chinese Leaders > Li Hao Tong and Wu AShun whom this 2016 World Cup edition manage to end at a historical best T2!
2009 also remind me one picture souvenir I made with France team Christian Cevaer who later was a great contributor to CaddiePlayer and Thomas Levet who I use to play with back in the 80s. As I am now partly base in France Burgundy and caddieplayer account several France register, I do not want to miss out the best ever result of France Team whom despite the "Polemique Selection" by Victor Dubisson give Caddie Axel Bettan and Player Romain Langasque a fantastic World Cup equal result with China.
The 2009 Omega Mission Hills World Cup took place from 26 November to 29 November at Mission Hills Golf Club in Shenzhen, China. It was the 55th World Cup. 28 countries competed as two-man teams. The team purse was $5,500,000 with $1,700,000 going to the winner. The event was won by Italy with a score of 259 (−29). France finished T20 and China T22 > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_World_Cup_(men's_golf)

So it looks like the golf world season as no season any more? As per my world born and raise in Crans-Montana, Switzerland, I recall my Golf/Ski season and what a great time it use to be. By mid november swaping my golf set with my skies, my landscape turning green into white until mid April. It was a time where you needed to switch from smart hands (The Golfer) to smart feet (The Skier) and this time was necessary to reset our Mind and Body and meet other people with different motivation.
Where ever you are I wish you to have a Great Season ending and if you get the Chance to go skiing or winter hicking, Just do it! as taking a break is science beneficiary.
Until next time... Stephane > my CaddiePlayer Golf Season not yet over....
From DP World Tour Championship & Final Race Dubai 2016
As Keith Pelley European Tour CEO was announcing "One of the most important initiatives in the Tour's 44 year history" referring to the Rolex Series European Tour 2017 with iconic 7 World class tournaments 7 million purse, I recall 2011, where here in Dubai DP World Championship Alvaro Quiros was the winner of his biggest career check 922.000 Euro reaching 25th in World Ranking.
Earlier in that year (2011) as I was conducting my putting research I got the opportunity to ask Alvaro Quiros about his putting perception of a Short Putt > To my surprise his answer was to up to 3 feet as most of the Tour Pros would double this number. Its only one year later that checking his putting stats I realize that he went within a year from his best 1,76 (one putt per GIR) to his worst 1,86.
In 2013 at the HSBC Shanghai, I tried to approach Quiros to let him know about my research and hopefully make him my first beneficiary, but after telling me to wait in the Club house to speak, to my regret he never shows up...From that time I was indirectly following his career and despite the fact that Quiros was consulting Top coaches I would be curious to understand more how can a player who can pass his driver 300 yds + win 6 European tour title could lose his Tour Card.
Alvaro Quiros personality is a fun, charismatic and I am sure his handsome tall silhouette will be miss as a full time 2017 European Tour Member. I believe he was great for the Tour...
As per the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open survey: "3 words to describe the Inaugural Abu Dhabi Ladies European Tour Event", I answer: Colourful, Innovative, Challenging.
In the meantime, I was honored to start assisting Olympian, Solheim Cup member, 14 LET wins Gwladys Nocera from France. I spend the all week observing, monitoring and implementing the PuttZones basics. Overall Gwaldys finished the event at -12 T8.
During the #FBMLA I noted 12 CaddiePlayers participating and welcome a new register LPGA member Celine Herbin the 2015 Lacoste French Open winner.
I am looking to be part of Gwaldys ultimate goal > LET Hall of Fame... Until then, #IamCaddiePlayer #IamStéphane
