D+D Real Czech Masters, Prague

I met Jakub Uher in the 2014 LET in Pilsen, my first venue to Czech Republic. Jakub is a weekend golfer of HCP 6, he is also a gentleman Caddie as well a member of the Czech Republic Caddies Association. In Pilsen, also home of the well-known Pilsner Beer, Jakub was the Caddie of Victoria Lovelady, a Brazilian Proette trying to qualify for Rio2016 but can’t afford a full time Caddie.

After I introduce “CaddiePlayerBenefits”, Jakub decided to have a try. Since, he has entered stats of his rounds and has become the official Czech Republic “CaddiePlayerAgent”. As coming back to Czech Republic was part of my 2015 plan, Jakub kindly offered his hospitality so I got the privilege to stay in Jakub’s parents' flat on the hill side of Prague on the way to the “Albatross” course, home of the 2015 D+D Real Czech Masters.

Jakub was not only the perfect host/guide to take me to his favourite restaurants as well to invite me to play Golf Club Prague, a 9 holes public course constructed back in the 70's during the Communist Time, but Jakub was also the perfect organizer/introducer for CaddiePlayer Czech Golf market of around 50’000 players.

Thanks to Jakub effort and connections, I could meet Petr Mruzek, a Founder of the PGA of Czech Republic, whom I probably crossed 25 years ago in some tournaments in Switzerland and who’s Son Filip, now a Pro, was in the Field of 10 Czech invited by the Promoter Mister Dedek. After 30 minutes of Introduction, 10 minutes of CaddiePlayer Instruction and a Printed CaddiePlayer Stats Card, Petr was on his way to follow his son and ultimately record a 3 under par 69 that made the highlight of the Czech Republic news, as the last time a Czech made the cut on the European Tour was back in 1994.

Wedge use and Motivation

What I can say after receiving Filip data is that the number of time Filip use his Wedge to go for the Green in Regulation was above the standard of the best players in the World! Since I am collecting Data thru CaddiePlayer I have notice that there is an X Factor number “WedgeUse” and “WedgeProximity” that need to match in order to optimize chances to score around 68.

As I was promoting CaddiePlayer to the D+D Real Czech Masters, Jakub took a week off from his regular job as a Medical/Science events organizer in order to dedicate his week to Caddie! But Jakub did not stop there, believe it or not, but after his player missed the cut, instead of taking off for a relax weekend, Jakub agreed to replace another Caddie who had to go somewhere and carry on for 36 holes more! On top of that Jakub collected and entered into CaddiePlayer “software” all shots Data not only from the two players he caddied for (Adam Gee and Jose Manuel Lara) but also from some of the other players paired with, including tournament winners Johan Edfors, Roope Kakko and David Lipsky. All together this is a collection of 7 players, for a total of 10 rounds, 700 shots! This is quite an achievement!

By doing this Jakub is teaching us a great lessons: When you are really motivated and believe in something there is no excuse not to do it. Since I have launched CaddiePlayer 2 years ago I crossed so many players and caddies that want to make it to the top of Golf but only a few are ready to make the effort of Data collecting and this goes to my great concern. Are those Players and Caddies just waiting for their lucky week or?

Thank you Jakub for your great dedication to CaddiePlayer! CaddiePlayer is proud to have you on board.

Until next time #IamCaddiePlayerFounder Stéphane

 

 

  Jakub's Testimony

"I was very glad to meet Stephane and discover his CaddiePlayer statistics analyzer last year.Since playing and following baseball as a teenager I find sport statistics extremely interesting (if you don't agree, watch the "Moneyball" movie).

No doubt that the role of statistics in understanding and improving one's golf game is crucial. However, in order to improve the game it is important to focus and analyze the right stats and this is exactly what CaddiePlayer can do - instead of simply counting fairways and greens hit and putts made, it clearly identifies the causes of one's results and provides a perfect feedback to the player, no matter if he/she is a tour pro or an handicap 5-10 amateur."

While Most have folllowed the PGA Championship in front of their HDI TV ... I spend this PGA Championship converting > http://www.legacy.pgatour.com/shottracker.html#/ into CaddiePlayer Data. The purpose of all this work was to learn more about the Zones and collect valuable informations. Here was my panel:  Jason Day as the winner, Dustin Johnson and Sergio Garcia as part of my putting research, Emiliano Grillo as the first Commercial CaddiePlayer and Adam Scott, Rafa Cabrera-Bello, Fabian Gomez as my personal interest.

What did I learn from all these data? 

Well, What I learned is no matter what those guys are good! Overall what strike me the most is Jason Day's par5 performance -13 reaching five times in two Swing with 2 eagles. Also during his 4 rounds Jason made only one 3 putt and his SwingScore Average was 68,75.

CaddiePlayer will be in Rio and you? #OlympicGolf

Just ‪#‎1YearToGo until golf returns to The Olympic Games at Rio 2016! The countdown is on! Will you be there?

Here is part of an interview that took place ahead of the Bridgestone Invitational where the vice president of the International Golf Federation, Ty Votaw, talks Olympic golf with three players from the PGA Tour.

TY VOTAW: Thank you, Chris. Good morning, everybody. Thank you for being here. We are one year out from the Opening Ceremony in Rio, in 2016, as of today, August the 5th. It’s been a long path for golf’s return to the Olympic games. 111 years, if you want to go back to 1904, when it was last played and won by a Canadian by the name of George Lyon. That’s the trophy he won in 1904 that’s on display here from our friends in the Canada Golf Museum. It’s been eight years since we started the process of getting golf back into the Olympics, started in April of 2008, culminated in a vote by the IOC in 2009, in Copenhagen. And we have been spending the last since 2009 working with Rio 2016, the International Golf Federation working with Rio 2016 on all number of things to get golf back in the Olympics in a smooth and a good transition. The most activity has been centered around the building of a golf course in Rio, and we’re pleased to report that it had a very good first growing season for that golf course, and we are looking forward to having a test event in the first quarter of 2016 with some top players on both the men’s and the women’s side of the game. We’re excited about the golf course. We’re excited about our entry back into the Olympic games because we think golf is good for the Olympics, and we think the Olympics will be a great stage for the top players on both the men’s and women’s side of the game to compete and bring new eyeballs to our sport from around the world. If the Olympics were held today, there would be approximately 35 countries represented on the men’s side, 34 countries represented on the women’s side. Interestingly enough, of the 60 players on the men’s side who would qualify as of today, 30 of those players are in the field this week at the Bridgestone Invitational. It would be 31 if Rory wasn’t injured. So with that, I know you want to hear from the players. Matt Kuchar has had some experience with the Colorado Springs training facility, going out there and working with the USOC. It’s safe to say – and, Ben, you can perhaps reference this in your remarks – if it weren’t for the Olympics, you wouldn’t be here today.

BYEONG-HUN AN: Yes.

TY VOTAW: And Henrik is involved with us on the International Golf Federation’s Athlete Committee, which we appreciate very much, getting the input from Henrik. So with that, I’ll turn it over to Matt, Ben and Henrik to say a few words.

MATT KUCHAR: I think everybody’s thrilled, excited that golf is back as part of the Olympics. I know myself, as a fan of sports, as a kid that’s grown up watching every sort of sport you could imagine, the Olympics is something that I think every kid dreams about doing at one stage. Awfully exciting now that golf is actually part of the Olympics again, that my sport has a chance, that I have a chance to compete in the Olympics. I think that’s one of those things that you dream about, that you only wish you could be part of. Now it is possible. So I think I’m excited. I think most guys are very excited. I know we were in Canada two weeks ago for the Canadian Open. The Pan Am Games were going on, and I actually went and watched handball. I thought just something cool to see, see a unique, different sport. I’m a fan of sport. I wanted to go see something different, see some fun games. So it was fun for me to be in Toronto during the Pan Am Games, just knowing that there’s some excitement, there’s some build-up for the Olympics coming around. I think we’re all very excited about it.

BYEONG-HUN AN: Yeah, I agree. It’s going to be really fun and exciting. It’s one of the biggest sporting events in the world. It’s held once every four years, and it will be great to play in the Olympics next year because my parents played in it already. After I heard the announcement that golf will be involved in the Olympics, then I was like, okay, then let’s try to make the Korean team. It’s great to represent a country to play a sports event and compete with others. I’m really looking forward to next year. It’s going to be exciting and fun.

HENRIK STENSON: Yeah, I can’t brag the same way that my whole family would compete in the Olympics (laughter), but if I can make it there, which I guess I’m in a good position as of now, yeah, it would be really exciting, like Matt says. I think, as a sports fan in general and growing up watching both the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics, I guess Sweden has been probably more successful in the Winter Olympics due to our climate. So, yeah, to compete there and then hopefully have a chance to win a medal for Sweden would be something very special. I think it’s going to be something very special for the player who wins the gold medal to be the first one to win the gold medal when golf is back in the Olympics. It’s going to be a very strong achievement and something you will certainly be remembered for for the rest of your life. So very much looking forward to it. I think it’s been good for the game of golf worldwide. We’ve seen a lot more support in some emerging markets around the world for golf. With it being an Olympic sport, that really makes a difference in a lot of places. So that’s been good. Yeah, one year to go. Can’t wait to get there.
