European Tour's Caddies to become almost CaddiePlayer
I have just ended my first "RolexSeries" week with a Monday stretch to experience US Open qualify at the historical venue Walton Health Golf Club where spectators could enjoy their "Bank" Holiday walking free on the course next to their stars witnessing one of them as so called "BEEEEF" (Johnston) Hole in One at the second hole of the "New" course (1905). What a great experience it was!
CaddiePlayer Jacquelin and Havret played well, respectively 7 and 6 under but when you have only 15 qualify spots, playing well is unfortunately not well enough as 9 under was the playoff score.
Wentworth BMW PGA Championship and first "RolexSeries" event was also the launch of their new look "Website" EuropeanTour.com as well their innovative "European Tour Performance Statistics" Card.
In 2012, after conducting my putting research, I was trying to convince the European Tour Authority to use CaddiePlayer alike stats card by at least collecting the distance of the first putt. This initiative was to be better in line with modern research findings (Broadie 2011) and with it more putting data's. Finally, after 7 years of waiting the European Tour deliver it... As per now those data are still on Caddies "Voluntary" base but soon to become Mandatory in order to deliver a better understand of Players Performance and with it to give extra entertainment information to the spectators.
So with this European Tour Statistics initiative I welcome all European Tour CADDIES to a new kind of data's Area....
