The 2024 Europe LetAccess season is over and with it its law of data. For 7 players* the only data that counted was the "Order Of Merit" or the "Points" reached in order to earn their 2025 LET card or to say the pinnacle of European Golf events. To do so LetAccess Players had to earn at least a Total of 1111,08 points.

To us at CaddiePlayer, we are more interested to "explore" specific data and point out some that we believe worth to look more into it.

"We know for a fact that to make money playing golf there is mainly three data that matters:

GIR, 60Side Prox and Putting Avg."

As CaddiePlayer exists mainly because of the "PuttZones" system and PuttZones claim/sale 29,99 putts Avg or better. Yet when we see a Player with 36+ Avg, we can ask ourself what was going on there?... and when this Player is from the USA we can be even more asking...

Analysing 500,000 rounds submitted into the Golfshake Score Tracker, it can reveal how well golfers across various handicap categories perform on the greens. Looking at the elite level, in 2021, the PGA Tour overall average putts-per-round is 29.05, with Australia's Cameron Smith leading the way at 27.74 ahead of Patrick Reed (27.85), Ian Poulter (27.96), and Jordan Spieth (28.16) > Reference: https://back2basics.golf/blogs/news/putts-per-round-ppr-vs-strokes-gained-putting

Until next time CaddiePlayer/PuttZones = Putting Avg guarantee under 30!

#ForEverYoung Evian

In FRANCE AGAIN....  July 14th National Day with a win from Japan.

I could not hope for a better 30th Evian anniversary as I was offer to stay with Multiple LET winner and Olympian from India Diksha Dagar and her dedicated Father Narinder.

"Beeing a guest of a Player is always a privilege. Beeing able to stay with her family was a experience that I could only be honored. Sharing cultural and culinar habits is something unique."

Unfortunatly Diksha was not in her best form and after round1 withdraw. Neverless she is now in India to rest and getting ready for the 2024 Paris Olympics.  

My main reason for going to Evian was to meet and monitor LPGA star sensation (currently TOP10 in the ROLEX world Ranking) Rose Zhang. With the cooperation of her Father and Mentor, I could gather all necessary data in order to better understand her performance, not to forget to follow Rose a few holes as well talking to her new Caddie Olly Brett.  

Back nine Sunday was tough. Rose double bogey on 12th and 2 short putts missed on 16th and 18th to finished T39 >  https://www.lpga.com/tournaments/the-evian-championship/results?filters=2024

Yet my highlight at Evian was to meet Malbon founders Stephen and Erica. Ultimatly I gave a lesson to Malbon's ambassadrice and Korean Star Kang So Yeon! It must be the first time I gave a lesson to a player with 1,5 millions Instagram followers and now she follow me :-) .... 

Until next time! Stéphane CaddiePlayer Founder

With his last hole save par from Zone3 (9 feet) Legend Bernard Langer ends his DPWorld tour career with a emotional speech. 

Bernard Langer made his DP World Tour debut in 1974 and would go on to play over 500 events, claim 42 wins including two Masters Tournaments, win the Harry Vardon Trophy twice and star in the Ryder Cup as a victorious captain and player.

He revealed he was immensely proud of the legacy that he and fellow European greats Seve Ballesteros, Sir Nick Faldo, Sandy Lyle and Ian Woosnam - known as the Big Five.

Langer quotes: "I had lots of ups and downs in my career, there were difficult times with the yips and other things but I had many wonderful moments. It was a privilege to play with the Big Five as they call them.

I think we spurred each other on and I believe we probably made the Tour in the 80s and 90s what it is now, what it has become. It was fun playing against these guys and the youngsters now bear the benefits of that."

Knowing to be a struggler putter, Langer out performed Zone3 (56%) still was to many times in Zone4 (16), with 3 drops on the last round (SwingScore 76) to Miss the cut by 3 shots. 

Bernhard Langer Gives God all the Glory:

Langer made it back to the Butler Cabin in 1993 with a four-shot victory at the Masters, the widest margin of victory in 10 years at Augusta National. Fred Couples helped him put on the green jacket.  Then came the live interview with CBS, and a question about how special it was to win the Masters for a second time. Langer couldn’t help but mention that he had won on Easter Sunday and how important that day is to Christians.

It is exciting to see leading sportsmen using their talents to bring glory to God. If all of us “seek first the Kingdom” then we know “all things will be added unto us” Matt 6:33. What an amazing promise from our Lord and King!
