I started my 2017 European Tour Coaching season here in Abu Dhabi and what a great place to be! The first thing I did when I arrive was to visit the setting of the HSBC Village. For this the HSBC village is a must to see. The 2017 edition was not only about golf but also tennis, rugby, soccer and more "Zones" entertainment to make everyone happy.
Back in 2012 HSBC commissioned a report called: "Golf's 2020 Vision" which looked ahead to see what might expect by the turn of the next decade and this state of play revealed the following:
Olympic status can change the game
Asian golf is on the charge but barriers remain
Golf needs new formats
Social Media has been transformational
More immersive viewing experiences are taking us closer to the action
By walking around one Slogan strike me the most> "Anyone's Game" I find this slogan really interesting because how many time during my career I have "eared" "Golf is not for me". For sure next time I meet those I will encourage to watch the Saatchi & Saatchi campaign Video where everyone is playing everywhere.... > https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Anyone%27s+Game+
In line with the "Immersive viewing experiences" and thanks to Tour player Raphael Jacquelin and his initiative "BornForGolfTour" I could meet Sylvain who introduce us with the "Viewer" project. For the first time of my coaching career I could see myself together with Raphael in a golf action clip and realize how much effort/repetition we do in order to get ready for Thursday. Then as we say down here in the UAE > Inshallah (Its God's will)...
Until next time Stéphane #IamCaddiePlayer in Abu Dhabi.
HSBC also inovate by bringing a DJ on the Range and asking some Tour Pros (Here Stenson) to Mix
Thanks to CaddiePlayer Raphael Jacquelin and Mr G., I could spend 10 hours head to head with living legend Swing Guru David Leadbetter first visit to Dubai. This unique "Experience" as given me the rare opportunity not only to assist his "Passionate" teaching/coaching but as well to share a lunch and dinner where our conversation led to interesting "Stories".
Among all the pictures/video/voice recorder I took, there is one David's quote that I will remember and should serve all the Teachers around the world!
"The Older you get, the better your Technical should be"
On our way back to David's Hotel I got to be his driver where I get the chance to introduce him with the PuttZones system as well the "4shots Rule". David was listening deeply with his eyes closed....
.... I am pretty sure by now that David understood the meaning > #WeAreCaddiePlayers!
Did you think about your CaddiePlayer (CP) Bucket/Resolutions list yet?
If not than below our "CP" list to empower what should make "A Different 2017".
Less:
Others, Drops, Underlines, 3 putts from Zone4, Bogeys+
Doubt, Fear, Frustration, Drama
More:
Wedges, On, InZone, In, Rounds Comments
