When I found out that a 16 years old from Nigeria was about to come to Evian for the Championship qualify Jabra Let Access; I tweeted > "Does she need a Caddie?" One week later here Evian I was meeting Smily/Happy Georgia Oboh and supportive Mother and Father. 36 holes of CaddiePlayer Caddie later, I was convinced, Goergia has the right "MindSet" to make it to the higest level. Now its just a matter of getting her "SwingScore" low...  probably sometimes in 2018.

Until then #IamCaddiePlayerStéphane welcome #CaddiePlayerGeorgia

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....

17 years ago, I unofficially embarked with Clive Agran UK Golf Monthly columnist on a program to get his handicap down from 18 to single figures in 12 months. The idea behind it was, if you give the average golfer every conceivable assistance, can he dramatically reduce his handicap?

"With the help and support of Britain Golf Monthly, Clive had lessons from a top coach, had customized equipment, a sports psychologist was appointed, he practiced three times a week and played at least twice a week. His efforts were written up each month in the magazine and the series “Single Figures or Bust” was extremely popular with the readers. Clive just managed to get his handicap down to nine a week before the end of his year, and I was proud to have played a significant part in his achievement as back then Online coaching, as CaddiePlayer, was just starting ."

Could “Single Figures or Bust” be achieved with a beginner super senior with unlimited funding?

So, on we started December 13, 2015 from UAE to Switzerland to UAE and Thailand, from the “D to the A” Swing* with in between countless hours of Golf Channel watching "Lydia Ko" and thinking after all this game is not so hard.

Having the opportunity to journey coaching over 3 calendar year with unlimited budget was quite a life time experience. During our 60 hours per month program we did it all private/best and the pinnacle of it was to bring on board world class 3.500 USD an hour teacher. Having private one of the most famous teacher in the World was quite an experience…. My personal highlight beeing his “Chauffeur” back to his 5 stars Hotel. As a conclusion he quoted to us: “Golf is a big pie, the Swing is a big piece of the Pie but it’s not the all pie > golf is a work in progress inch by inch, don’t push to hard”.

At the end what I found, is that pushing too hard it was, and the billion neurons billionaire got busted….I just arrive in France, Burgundy, CaddiePlayer Center Chailly where you welcome to eat our gourmet chef sweet pie and play easy golf.

Until next time #IamCaddiePlayer Founder Stéphane in France, Burgundy, Chailly
