CaddiePlayer Breaking News

With scores 72,72,74,70,69 Céline Herbin from France finished T16 at QSchool final stage to regain her full status on the LPGA.

After a complicated 2017 season, where she missed too many cuts, the 2015 Lacoste France Open champion lost her full LPGA status. Céline was mostly struggling on the putting green. However, last July she started to work with CaddiePlayer and its founder Stéphane Barras, who encouraged her to switch to using an MLA putter and to follow the PuttZones system. Since then her performance has improved, peaking today in Daytona - her best score 69 with 5 birdies.

Quote from Céline

"It was stressfull until the end to avoid a playoff. A big thanks to Stéphane Barras and CaddiePlayer, my putting was really very very good those 5 days. I am very happy !"

Céline started golf late, thanks to coincidence, when she went to live in Pedrena Santander, Spain thinking to give up golf, she met Seve's Brother Vincente Ballesteros who drilled her re-start and later qualify to become a Ladies European Tour Professionnal. She is now flying to Dubai where she will compete the Omega Dubai Ladies Classic, her last event on the LET season where she is also a member.

Every tournament I go to I try to spot something unique “one of a kind” experience to learn and pass on. Going to UAE Abu Dhabi for the second edition of the Fatima Bint Mubarak Ladies Open at Saadiyat Golf club was without exception another great journey.

It started On Monday when I took out, to my favorite Abu Dhabi French cuisine “Le Beaujolais”, 35nd Birthday, 2015 Lacoste Open Champion, Céline Herbin.  On Wenesday it was 82nd Birthday Gary Player encouraging to donate 82 USD to his charity. I did donate… > https://garyplayer.com/the-player-foundation/how-you-can-donate/

On Thursday it was cut day at -1, this must have been one of the lowest of the LadiesEuropeanTour and remind us that as on the mens side the ladies level is getting stronger and stronger…

However, my biggest surprise of the week came from the stardom of some of the Caddies. As the Winner Aditi Ashok was caddying by her successful father, Minea BlomQvist who finish T17 was Caddying by Finnish F1 Champion Heikki Kovalainen > http://ladieseuropeantour.com/f1-driver-to-caddie-for-minea-blomqvist/ and Swedish Camilla Lennarth 3rd who by LPGA Multiple Champion Sophie Gustafson > https://www.golfdigest.com/story/sophie-gustafson-why-i-hung-up-my-spikes-to-become-a-caddie
