We are very proud and happy to learn that our long time friend, Player Gaganjeet Bhullar from India, won his first European Tour Title last week in Fiji. CaddiePlayer founder Stephane Barras met Gaganjeet during the 2011 HK Open when he was pairing with Christian Cevaer another CaddiePlayer contributor. Intrigued by Stephane's  innovative stats they kept in touch until 2015, when Gaganjeet visited the CaddiePlayer training base at Chailly, in Burgundy, France, where he trained for one week then travelled to the Omega European Masters where Stephane to be his caddie and coach.

Arran, Scotland, British Open Week

I am on a meditation week in mini Scotland island of Arran peaceful shore of Farry Dell without electricity and in-house water scything the bracken and remember my childhood doing the same practicing my swing.

By doing so I am reflecting of my last month coaching CaddiePlayers fighting their way through to gain a “One” shot to finish within the top 10 and hoping the be lucky to get their tickets to the glorious British Open week.

For some it was one shot enough and for others it was one shot to many…. did this one shot truly reflected their skills or their luck? One bounce in the bunker, one putt lip out, one drive off line and here we are one shot too many back at home relaxing doing more things than golf….

I think that Modern golf have so many great players has definitely become a one-shot game where your faith journey does not depend that much on your abilities any more but on the path of your week luck. 

As far as luck perspective last few weeks was certainly the pinnacle luck of CaddiePlayers.

Have a Great British Open Weekend > Tiger Woods currently "one shot off the lead" ;-)  #IamCaddiePlayerStephane

Congratulations to CaddiePlayer & PuttZones user Richard Sterne for beeing the best putter at the HNA French Open. His Strokes Gained Putting was 6.62 out perform the Winner by 0,86. Richard finished T31 at +1.

Alex Noren birdied two of his last three holes at Le Golf National to claim his second Rolex Series title on a dramatic final afternoon at the HNA Open de France. The Swede entered round four seven shots off the lead and still did not look a likely winner when he turned in 35 as the final groups battled it out atop the leaderboard. He birdied the 12th, 16th and 17th to set the target at seven under but was still behind on-course leader Julian Suri as he signed for his closing 67.
