Taiwan Winter Cup

The players in the Winter Cup ranking event here in Taiwan are starting to finish their second rounds. The common theme amongst all the players is problems on the green. A lot of them are striking the ball well but not holing putts. Lots of 3 putts are being reported as well as a couple of 4 putts and even a 5 putt!

It is interesting to watch them practice as well. Looking out the window now I can see one player chipping with one hand while talking on the phone and another two players standing on the green talking. The two biggest complaints seem to be that the players are having trouble reading the green or judging the speed yet none of them are doing any green reading or speed control drills.

The leading score after one day in the girls section was 67 with a 69 and 70 close behind. The boys section is being led with a score of 68 with a 69, 70 and 71 close as well. I will update the final results after the last round on Friday.

Liu Chen-Lin, who I mentioned in an earlier post was currently in America is playing another International Junior Golf Tour event this week. You can watch his progress here http://www.ijgt.com/details.php?id=276

Until next time,
