ANTONY SUTTONAntony is a freelance writer who has been hanging around Southeast Asia for about 20 years. Unfortunately he hasn't picked a club in anger since his days in Bangladesh on the Kurmitola course where he benefited greatly from the words and wisdom of Nelson, the one-armed caddy.

Today, he keeps threatening to head to the local diving range to shake off the cobwebs, but hasn't yet made good with that promise. Instead he contents himself with a few quiet, cold beers once in a while and helping his son become a good Arsenal fan!

The CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters has it first Asian winner. Congratulations Anirban Lahiri who heroically sunk

an eagle on the 72nd hole to win his first professional title outside of India, whilst securing his 4th Asian Tour title. In an event that had the likes of 2010 Open Champion Louis Ooosthuizen and the French rising star in world golf, Victor Dubuisson, as the tournament ‘Star Players’, it was refreshing to see such a strong performance and such a dominance of Asian players on top of the leaderboard, in contention vying for the title on the final day and throughout the weeks action.

Young players need idols to be inspired by and no doubt with the strength of the Asian Tour and the OneAsia tours and the Asian Development Tours expansion in recent years acting as a feeder tour of such high standard, we can expect more talent and more depth amongst Asian players competing in Asian and worldwide professional golf tournaments. In this issue, we had the honour to sit down with Mike Kerr, CEO of the ASIAN Tour and learn about The Asian Tour, its history and what it has to offer talented golfers as it celebrates its 10th anniversary. The Asian Tour awards night was recently held on the night before the start of the CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters. Thongchai was awarded the Player of the Decade award, and it was fitting to see him lead Team Asia in the inaugural Eurasia Cup, salvaging a well-earned draw a strong Team Europe. Thongchai is a model of success and consistency for young and Asian golfers, and at over 44 years of age, he is still competing for titles and recently became the first Thai golfer to make the cut at the Masters.

Anirban Lahiri is currently ranked #102 in the Official World Golf Rankings and the

win at Royale Jakarta will see him pick up valuable OWGR points and should see him enter the Top 100 for the first time in his career. Top 100 means a whole new horizon for the talented Indian golfer, which will result in invitations and opportunities to compete in the most famous and high profile professional golf tournaments playing against the very best golfers in the world for large amounts of prize money. Currently there are only seven Asian players in the Top 100, but with the buzz from Team Asia’s performance in the Eurasia Cup, and the ever improving standard of play on the Asian and OneAsia Tours, one can expect an increase in that number over the next 10 years; Asian Golf is in a healthy place.

George Gandranata was the one and only Indonesian professional who progressed into the weekend at this year's Indonesian Masters, despite a minor blip during his third round, Gandranata finished in the Top 50, successfully achieving his target by doing so. Indonesia’s Number One ranked golfer has shown great promise and improvement over the last few months, including strong showings in Asian Development Tour, OneAsia, as well as Asian Tour events. There were a total of 26 Indonesian players competing at Royale Jakarta, and special mention goes to Fadhli Soetarso still an amateur, who narrowly missed out by one stroke to progress to the weekend's play. Still a teenager, one could hardly tell during his two days at the event, he was mature beyond his years, and we were chuffed to sit down and have a chat with Fadhli before the event. It was a pleasure to learn about the life of one of Indonesia’s most talented amateur golfers with a bright future ahead of him.

The inaugural year of the Indonesian Golf Tour rolls on, with regular events scheduled every month and decent prize money available, leading to the Indonesian Championship season finale. We may have good reason to expect a better showing by Indonesian golfers in future Asian Tour, Asian Development Tour, OneAsia and ASEAN PGA events on Indonesian home soil.

Salam Olahraga!

TAMAN DAYU GOLF CLUB & RESORT

T aman Dayu Golf Club & Resort is an 18-hole Signature Jack Nicklaus

golf course that has been open since 1995. The multi-award winning course measures a healthy 6,541 meters from the black tee markers and has used the natural terrain to incorporated many elevations from tee to green. The course meanders through lakes, creeks, bunkers which are blended into the natural landscapes and mountain backdrops to make for an unforgettable golfing experience. The Resort is located some 60 minutes drive from Surabaya’s Juanda International Airport and with the new toll road scheduled to open in late 2014, the journey will be reduced to 45 minutes.

THE COURSE

“We have designed a course that fits naturally into the environment, provides a good test of golf for all players and features spectacular views and scenery.” (Jack Nicklaus)

Jack Nicklaus has created a unique championship golf course that provides a challenging test of a golfer’s playing skills amongst this beautiful natural setting.

Golfers are rewarded for accurate and confident tee shots essential towards getting on in regulation as all holes are well protected with sand traps or water hazards.

The Par 4, Hole #5 is classic Jack Nicklaus design at its best, it is Taman Dayu’s Handicap Index 1. The hole is at the lowest point of the course in altitude but is the most demanding. A unique split fairway offers the golfer with two choices of tee off direction. The left side is longer but offers an easier direction to the pin and a better view of the green. The right side plays shorter, but requires a 100% carry over the rice terraces and a natural mountain creek, which guards the green. A player’s drive, which finds the fairway sand trap, will require a miracle to save their par.

The Par 4, Hole #16 plays as Index 6, measuring 364m from the back tees. A fairly wide fairway offers many options, and the choice of Driver, 3 Wood or Hybrid will determine the angle and distance to the green for the second shot. Confident drivers may take aim

over the left hand trees and will leave merely a wedge into the green protected by a lake. Accuracy is the key, and a well struck 3 wood to the centre of the fairway can play equally effective leaving a short iron to the narrow green well protected by the lake and the large bunker behind the green.

Taman Dayu is a prestigious international golf club and resort located in the lush green foothills of Mount Welirang. With the complete range of top quality accommodation on site, and the wide range of facilities available, golfers are advised to enjoy in the stay and play packages on offer as one night may not be enough to appreciate this enchanting resort located in East Java’s mountainous paradise. Taman Dayu Golf Club & Resort, is a truly unique setting to enjoy the game of golf and relax and rejuvenate oneself amongst nature and escape the stresses of modern 21st Century life. Returning back to urban life refreshed and rejuvenated.


GOLF INSIGHT

BY SIMON REYNOLDS

G erry Lester “Bubba” Watson won his second Masters in three years, closing with a final

round 69, in an exciting duel between this eccentric left-hander and the fresh faced 20-year-old Texan Jordan Spieth who was looking to become the youngest ever Masters winner at his very first attempt at the event.

Having gone into the final round the two players were tied on -8, with Watson allowing a three-shot lead to fritter away on Saturday. Spieth started positively on day four, holing out from the bunker on the 4th, and led by 3 shots at that stage of the round. Watson crucially bounced back moments later, and the battle between the quirky left-hander and the young pretender had begun.

The battle of wits continued and Amen Corner proved crucial once again in deciding the fate of the eventual winner during the 78th Masters at Augusta National. Spieth stumbled from 8 under to 5 under from the 8th tee to the 12th green, as he left his tee shot short into Rae’s Creek as Bubba gained the initiative and refused

to let go right the way until the finish, while his Pink shafted Ping driver continued to astonish the gallery with Bubba-esque 300+ drives and swash buckling iron play. Bubba’s style of play and creative energy and imagination with his golf clubs reminded the golf world that there is plenty of excitement without the like of Tiger Woods in the field.

At nine minutes past local time, Watson confirmed his aggregate score if 280, eight under, a full three strokes better then both Speith and Sweden’s Jonas Blixt at 29 years of age playing in his maiden Masters. Standing on the 18th tee box with a three shot lead even a jittery Bubba Watson could afford to leave his Driver in the bag and go to his 3 wood just to be safe. The golfing public can expect to see the play of the Swede, Blixt, in many more tournaments to come with the Swede posting 4 consecutive rounds under par 70-71-71-71; the only player to do so during the entire week.

Bubba Watson has been reacquainted with the Green Jacket, as the Augusta crowd once again witnessed Bubba’s tears in victory as he held aloft his adopted son

Caleb on the 18th green. Interestingly, Augusta has now witnessed six left-handed winners at the Masters since 2003, starting with Mike Weir in 2003.

Bubba Watson rightfully joins an illustrious list of stellar names to have won the Masters more then once which include: Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tiger Woods, Tom Watson, Sam Snead, Gary Player, Ben Hogan and Seve Ballesteros.

Masters 2014

Just like the legend, Horton Smith, the winner of the very first Masters, Watson’s three-year run here now reads: win, loss, win. This remarkable achievement is made all the more astonishing by the fact that Watson has never had a golf lesson, let alone had a coach at any point in his life.

For all the final round drama, we should reflect on the second round antics as the deciding point of the tournament. As a ruthless Watson, fired five successive back-nine birdies during his second round, which sparked the 2014 Masters into life, in an event where TV ratings were low, in the absence of Tiger Woods, the sight of Bubba Watson cracking a 365 yard drive at Augusta National, reminding the golfing fans worldwide that there is no need to worry if Tiger never returns to his past levels, players like Watson and Spieth have plenty of talent to entertain us.

Spieth emerges from the tournament in a tie for second place and with immense credit. He was attempting to become the youngest ever winner of the Masters, only three players ever have claimed the first major of the year on their debut. The Texan fell narrowly short of success, but the level of his play and the maturity he displayed under huge pressure and in defeat, which even his elder peers should learn from. Despite dropping shots during his final round, the youngster never gave up, and nearly chipped in from the right side of the green on 17, proving his battling qualities and his future champion qualities as a golfer.

The performance of the 50-year-old, pot-bellied, chain-smoking Spaniard Miguel Angel Jimenez is worth a mention, as at this ripe old age recorded his best ever performance at the event with a tie for fourth. The Spaniard played himself into contention posting a scintillating 66 during the third round which made European golfers proud, in preparation for the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles later in the year, where Jimenez will adopt the role as Vice Captain.

On a course where distance seems to be imperative towards success, it was interesting to see several of the older generation performing well and high up on the leaderboard. “Yes, technology helps me,” said Jimenez, but some would say it is his intensive pre-round stretching routine which has helped him remain competitive and supple and winning golf tournaments late into his career. Germany’s Bernhard Langer at 56 years of age finished in a tie for 8th with Rory McIlroy.

McIlroy looks like he has put to bed his demons of the dreaded final round melt-down posting a final round 69, for his best ever finish at the Masters, and a place in the Top 10.

Nonetheless, it was Bubba Watson from Bagdad, South Florida, self taught, a free spirit in a world of sport which is forever associated and obsessed with the perfect swing and the ‘correct’ way to play, Bubba Watson plays his way, 'Bubba Golf'. When asked to describe what 'Bubba Golf' actually entailed in a recent interview, he explained, “Bubba Golf is all about having fun, using your imagination, trying different shots, and having the confidence to play the difficult shots you know you can play.” It is this kind of philosophy towards the game of golf that should remind us golfers that golf is a game, and a game should be played.

Westwood Wins in The East Again at The Maybank Malaysian Open

Kuala Lumpur, April 20: Lee Westwood marched to a convincing seven-stroke victory for his first title in two years after a flawless four-under-par 68 at the Maybank Malaysian Open on Sunday. The Englishman completed his wire-to-wire win in style when he holed a 20-foot birdie putt on the last for an 18-under-par 270 winning total at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club. Major champion Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa threatened briefly by shooting four birdies in his first seven holes but dropped shots around the turn saw his challenge fizzle as he signed for to a 68, taking joint second place with Austrian Bernd Wiesberger and Ryder Cup star Nicolas Colsaerts of Belgium in the US$2.75 million event sanctioned by the Asian Tour and European Tour. EurAsia Cup star Anirban Lahiri of India, a three-time winner in the region, was the best placed Asian in tied 10th place after a closing 70 while Masahiro Kawamura of Japan, who won his first Asian Tour title last year, finished a further shot back. Westwood, a winner here in 1997, reinforced his reputation as an Asian specialist after extending his career tally in Asia to 13 victories. The triumph came a week after the world number 36 finished seventh in the Masters Tournament last week.

“Yes this win has come at an important time. I’ve started working with a new coach and Billy Foster came back on my bag at the end of last year. I’m going back to what I’ve done before because it works. It is starting to work already,” smiled Westwood, who turns 41 next week. Westwood’s victory and solid performances in the last two weeks has given him hope of regaining his best form which saw him become world number one several years ago. “My game now has the potential to get close (to his game when he was world number one). But now I feel I got a short game and I’m starting to roll in a few putts. It makes a lot of difference when you can make up-and-downs to keep the momentum going,” said Westwood, who won US$458,330 for his 41st career victory. Oosthuizen, the 2010 Open Championship winner, was in the thick of action before a pair of bogeys on nine and 10 dashed his hopes. The South African took advantage of a four-hour weather delay to rally his spirits as he fired two straight birdies from the 16th hole to share second. “I had the perfect start for trying to give Lee a chase. But the bogey on nine and 10 stopped the momentum and I knew that it was over to chase him. I finished well and I played nicely. I started awful this week but I’m happy with how I recovered after the first round (72),” said Oosthuizen, winner here in 2012.

“This is definitely a good finish for me especially with the way I started the tournament. I needed that (weather delay) because I was very upset with my bogey on 10. That stopped my momentum completely because I was four-under through seven holes.” India’s rising star Lahiri turned in 33 highlighted by a hat-trick of birdies from the third hole before dropping his only shot on the 13th hole. He was proud with his top-10 result which capped an amazing Malaysian swing for the Indian, who was part of Team Asia who tied with Europe in the inaugural EurAsia Cup here three weeks ago. “I played really good but I’m disappointed I didn’t make any birdies on the back nine. All in all, it has been a solid week but I can’t help but feel that I left a lot out there. I’ve been hitting it really good. I hit 16 greens but didn’t make the putts which I needed to. I gave myself a lot of opportunities but couldn’t hole the birdies,” said Lahiri. “I came in this week feeling good about my game. I really wanted to contend badly. I tried a bit too hard and forced the issue. I didn’t focus on what I needed to do. It got better on the weekend and it is good that I’m playing consistently,” he added.

Levy Holds Fast to Claim Volvo China Open Title

SHENZHEN, China, April 27 — France’s Alexander Levy fired a final round three-under-par 69 on Sunday to win the Volvo China Open by four strokes, claiming his first professional title with a dominant performance that earned him $530,000. The 23-year-old never relinquished the lead after shooting a course-record 62 in Friday’s second round, finishing 19 under par around the beautiful 6,534-metre (7,145-yard) Genzon Golf Club course in Shenzhen, southern China. England’s Tommy Fleetwood (68) was alone in second in the 20 million yuan (US $3.2 million) event — co-sanctioned by OneAsia and the European Tour — with Alvaro Quiros two shots further behind. Keeping up what has become a tour tradition, Levy was

mobbed by his countrymen in the tournament after draining the winning putt, and sprayed with champagne. “I woke up very early this morning thinking about too much, but this is my life,” a delighted Levy said afterwards. “On the golf course I was only thinking about my job, and that’s why I’ve got the trophy in my hands.” Levy went into the final round with a three-stroke lead that immediately stretched to four after Spaniard Alvaro Quiros bogeyed the first. One group ahead, Fleetwood birdied the first three holes to give Levy something to think about, but he responded by picking up shots on six, 11 and 13 to lead by five at one point. His only wobble came on the 15th when his drive found a divot hole,

his second came up well short, and he made double-bogey. But a stunning second on the par-five 17th to ten feet for birdie, and an even better approach on the last for what was virtually a tap-in, saw him safely home. "I closed my eyes and hit one of the best shots of the week. It was an amazing shot," he said of the 17th. Fleetwood was also happy with his effort. “I’ve been on a little bit of a dodgy stretch, so it’s nice to get myself up there again and get in the mix,” he said. “I got off to the perfect start but just couldn’t drive it on the back nine. My strength all week has been my driving, and I didn’t hit it in play enough. But its been a fantastic week — it's come off for me.” Without a win since 2011, Quiros feels his game is on the way back. “The positive things for me are that I have been back in contention which I have only really been once in the past two years. I am happy to be where I am and I am now going to be going to the Spanish Open expecting big things.” Thousands of fans turned up for the final round — many to watch Li Haotong, who started the day in joint eighth place, albeit nine shots off the lead. But the 18-year-old wilted under the pressure and dropped six shots to finish joint 50th. Ouyang Zheng (67) was the best local player, with a share of 36th.

World number three Henrick Stenson (65) and Team Europe Ryder Cup hero Ian Poulter (67) shot their best rounds of the week to move up the leaderboard and share fifth place with Anders Hansen (63), while Italian Francesco Molinari was alone in fourth. Suffering the effects of a stomach bug for much of the week, Stenson could have overtaken both Adam Scott and Tiger Woods in the world rankings if he had won here. “It is very tight at the top at the moment but I am going to have to play a lot better than I have done on the early part of this year if I want to get to World Number One,” he said. “It is a work in progress. It really feels like I have been starting to play a lot better over the past month and if I can keep working away then hopefully more good things will come.” Poulter’s tournament was derailed by a two-shot penalty for taking an incorrect drop in the second round. “I came here to win this golf tournament, I felt it was a great opportunity,” he said. “Dropping five shots on Friday in two holes, it’s more than disappointing, it’s inexcusable. It put me too far behind and as much as I wanted to chase today, it was always going to be a tall order." OneAsia’s next tournament is the GS Caltex Maekyung Open at

Namseoul Country Club on the outskirts of the Korean capital from May 8 – 11.

Aces Wild At Volvo China Open

SHENZHEN, China, April 27 — Danny Willet and Marcel Siem both scored holes-in-one at the Volvo China Open on Sunday as the third round produced the best golf of the week at Genzon Golf Club in Shenzhen, southern China.

Siem aced the 200-metre (220-yard) eighth with a sweetly struck three-iron, while Willet struck a perfect five iron on the 187-metre (204-yard) 12th.

There was no prize up for grabs on the eighth, but Willett won a Volvo V40 for his effort.

“I have been hitting the ball, but you never really think you are going to get one — especially when there is a shiny new car on the tee next you for the first guy to make it,” he said.

“I hit five iron from 209 yards and it landed just short and rolled in. We couldn’t actually see it, but I knew it was in from the reaction of the people behind the green.

“It’s pretty cool to win such a great car — I’m looking forward to taking it for a spin. Volvo is one of the biggest and best sponsors in golf so I am delighted to have won that prize.

Volvo also put up a massive L105 wheel loader as a prize for the perfect shot at the 187-metre (204-yard) 16th, but it is yet to be claimed.

THE CIMB NIAGA INDONESIAN MASTERS 2014

T he CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters 2014 at the Royale

Jakarta Golf Club ended with a new name at the top of the leaderboard.

26-year-old Anirban Lahiri, born in India’s tech capital of Bangalore lifted his first trophy outside of his native country, with a 17 under 271, in the process pocketing the lion’s share of the $750,000 on offer and reminding people that when it comes to golf in Asia there is more than just South Korea and Japan.

Leading the Southeast Asian charge was the flamboyant Thai Kiradech Aphibarnat who was just two shots behind the winner and one of five Thais in the top 15 on the final leaderboard.

Indonesia’s best effort came from George Gandranata, who came in one under 287 following a disappointing third round where he hit 75 on the par 3 course.

But the story was Lahiri and despite it being his first major success overseas, it is not the first time he has made the headlines in international golf.

Making his debut at a major, the Open in 2012 at Royal Lythm & St. Annes Golf Club, he not only made the cut, hitting 68 and 72 in the first two rounds, but he topped that with a hole-in-one on the par 3-9th.

The Royale Jakarta Golf Club of course is a far more humble setting than the prestigious Lancashire course, but there was still a tournament to win and Lahiri acquitted himself well despite a start that saw him hit just 70 on the first round.

However, it seems that the third round agrees with his temperament as he went round in a more impressive 8 under, setting the scene for his ultimate triumph and catching the eye of the event sponsors with Arwin Rasyid, the president director of CIMB Niaga, saying the Indian had "played very well and was amazing to watch" after offering the new champion his congratulations.

With Australian Cameron Smith starting the final round leading on 14 under, Lahiri needed to start the final day well and he did, parring the first hole then hitting three straight birdies, taking full advantage of Smith’s disastrous second hole where he hit a seven!

Lahiri wasn’t able to build on that impressive start straight away, dropping shots on the fifth. He ended the opening nine with 34 while the morning leader Smith returned a disappointing 39. It was down to South Korean Suek-hyuen Baek to apply the pressure as he finished the front nine on 31.

Then came a familiar obstacle on Indonesian golf courses; the rain.

A three-hour break seemed to have affected Lahiri as he got back on the course and hit a double bogey on the 13th.

Smith battled hard to regain some of the momentum he had lost on the second and while he broke par five times on the back nine it was too little, too late. Come the 18th and a packed gallery, it was Lahiri who was feeling the pressure. Baek had finished and was back in the clubhouse watching the action unfold on a TV screen and Lahiri knew all he had to do was eagle the

final hole.

With his back to the lake, Lahiri checked the lie of the land and went for it. His 20-foot putt curved majestically and as it approached the hole, the crowd seemed to suck the ball down. The Indian punched the air in delight at winning his first title overseas and celebrated with his caddy.

Lahiri admitted he had a couple of problems with the competition approaching its denouement. "I had an awkward lie on 13. During

the rain delay, I was thinking that I have to get up and down there. Unfortunately, I got a double bogey there but I am glad I came back strong."

With that final putt, Lahiri, was actually thinking more about a possible play-off! "When I was walking up to the greens, I was actually thinking if I need to prepare for a play-off (the following morning)!"

While Baek missed out on top spot, he recalled he nearly

Asian Tour rookie Cameron Smith was in contention from Round 1

Indonesia’s number 1 ranked golfer George Gandranata was the only local to make the cut, finishing in the Top 50.


withdrew from the competition because of an injured elbow. "On the first day, I told my caddy if I can par the first hole, I will continue to play." He did, he continued to play and he came oh so close to winning his first event.

Of the big name European and American players, Austria’s

Bernd Wiesberger finished joint 10th, 12 under.

Meanwhile, Indonesia’s best effort came in tied 44th, one under. But George Gandranata reflected positively on the week. “My worst round this week is better than my best round last year!"

Leading scores after round 4 of the CIMB NIAGA Indonesian Masters being played at the par 72, 7340 Yards Royale Jakarta GC course (a- denotes amateur):

Gandranata had changed his approach for the CIMB Niaga Indonesia Masters and is happy with the results. "I decided to play a little more conservatively and I didn’t attack as much as I did in the past. I am happy the plan worked for me this time around," he explained.

Looking forward, he feels playing in the Asian Development Tour has been beneficial and helped his golf improve and describes the ADT as a "great learning experience" while looking forward to getting on as many Asian Tour events as possible.

This was the fourth time the Indonesian Masters had been held and Lahiri became the third player to lift the trophy.

The first year, 2011, had seen England’s Lee Westwood win, hitting 269 for 19 under par and defeating Thailand’s Thongchai Jaidee by three strokes. 12 months later and Westwood retained the title, defeating another Thai, Thaworn Wiratchant.

In 2013, Wiesberger broke Westwood’s private little monopoly, finishing on a 15 under 273, ahead of South

Africa’s Ernie Else. Lahiri’s victory marks the first time an Asian has won the event.

ON TOUR

BY SIMON REYNOLDS

Asian Tour: The Player’s Tour, what exactly does this imply at an organizational level?

The tour itself, like all other major tours - The PGA, European, South Africa - are player-owned organizations. We have a tournament player committee who works alongside the management and the management works on behalf of the players. The management’s role is to increase playing opportunities, through the development of existing events as well as by creating new events. We are not a profit organization, and everything is put back for the players.

For the region's top up-and-coming professional golfers, what would be the attraction towards focussing on obtaining an Asian tour card rather than an OneAsia card for a season?

Asian Tour has a clear career pathway for all aspiring professional golfers. The first step on that pathway is the Asian Development Tour, similar to the Challenge Tour in Europe and the Web.com tour in the USA. It offers developing players who have not quite reached the level of the big tours to play a series of tournaments over the course of the year, and the Top 3 players gain their Asian Tour cards for the following seasons. Nicholas Fung is the perfect example of a player who has benefitted from the ADT; he won the 2013 Order of Merit gaining his Asian Tour card for 2014. Through playing in ADT events and Asian Tour events he has gained enough world ranking points to become the highest ranked Malaysian golfer in the world. Therefore he was selected for the Eurasia Cup team last month. He is playing fantastic golf in 2014 and a player with a bright future. Asian Tour events gather more world ranking points than OneAsia events. At the beginning of 2013 Nicholas Fung was ranked about 1400th in the OWGR, through playing in the ADT regularly and in selected Asian Tour through invitations by the year's end, he had entered the Top 250 in the OWGR. The Asian Tour is structured through career pathway and global golf. Through the ADT, through the Asian Tour, World Golf Championships, European Tour, PGA Tour, it opens up a whole career prospect. Getting into the Top 200 as a player is incredibly important because that opens up other events all over the world.

How has the level of competition improved over the years, with the influx of foreign players from the United States, Australia and Europe? Is this an advantage or a disadvantage for local players looking to get their own place to play on the Tour?

Yes it has; ultimately we will have the best players from this part of the world competing on the Asian Tour. All of Asia’s top players like K J Choi, Y E Yang all played on the Asian Tour at some point in their careers. With the influx of foreign players coming to Asia to develop their games and golf careers, this has created a healthy balance of competition and has resulted in a higher level of competition and a more exciting tour for the fans. Having foreign players competing on the Asian Tour can only be seen as an advantage, after all it can only inspire the Asian golfers to play even better. In some of the co-sanctioned events with the larger tours like the CIMB Classic (PGA) in Malaysia it is an opportunity for the younger Asian players to play alongside some of the very best golfers in the world.

Being based in Indonesia, why do you think Indonesia has yet to produce a large number of top performing golfing professionals on the Asian professional circuit? While neighbour Thailand has been producing top performing golfers for many years.

If you want to produce talent, it is about getting youngsters inspired, Thailand has had Boonchu Ruangkit, Thongchai Jaidee, Thaworn Whiratchant over the last 20 years. Ruangkit is a legend, and at over 50 years of age is still competing and playing well in events. Thongchai Jaidee is a multiple winner of the Asian Tour Order of Merit. Thaworn Whiratchant is the all-time leading winner on the Asian Tour with 16 titles. Indonesia needs their very own golfing hero, to spark the interest of the younger generations. Asian Tour is determined to help support the local golf tour here in Indonesia, and with the likes of the ADT with two scheduled events here in Indonesia in 2014, the local players should look here alongside the Asian Tour showcase local events - The Indonesian Open and the Indonesian Masters - for an opportunity to learn and play with the region's very best. By supporting the Indonesian local tour through these events we hope to help nurture more home grown talent here in Indonesia.

The Eurasia Cup was an exciting event, what was the inspiration towards creating this event?

The Asian Tour and The European Tour have been working together since 1999 with The Malaysian Open. The Eurasia Cup idea was always something that has been planned. It was a long process finding the right venue, the right sponsors, the right domestic market; which in this case was Malaysia. We were very fortunate to have very strong support from the Malaysian government in making the event possible, and they will continue their support and host the next two events in 2016 and 2018. After the success of the inaugural event and the final day drama we are excited and look forward to many more thrilling Eurasia Cups in the future.

Jakarta InterLeague (Round 2)

D espite considerable rain still hitting the Jagorawi course during the past weeks,

it was amazingly dry and those who can get topspin drives were laughing with impressive distance on their tee shots.

Having the luxury of a mini-shotgun start means that all matches start at the same time. Yet somehow the traffic f low is rather like Jakarta traffic where one crawls at zero miles per hour and the next moment hurtles along at 50 miles per hour only to hit the brakes for the next delay. On the course, the first groups finished in under four hours whereas the latter groups were just over five hours. Sadly those who were out for five hours also had to contend with some 30 minutes of heavy rain.

Tee Set and Jakarta Loose Impediments battled to a respectable 5:5 draw, although the final match was determined as a draw based on the equivalent of a Duckworth-Lewis (for anyone who follows cricket) rain interrupted match calculation.

Tin Cups who were second in the table came under some pressure and went down 6:4 against Mad Dogs. This included an intriguing clash of female players who fought (definitely using the verbal interchange to great effect) throughout the match.

Pocksia struggled in every match against Sandbaggers and the 8 points Sandbaggers earned promoted them to second place.

Last month’s table leaders took ’no prisoners’. Cloggies were ruthless and annihilated Sentul Swingers 10:0 which gives them a cushion of five points at this early stage.

This month saw one of the rare feats as Al Livingstone managed to win both the Longest Drive and also Closest to the Pin prizes (not certain when was the last time but this duo achievement is not common).

So let’s consider the various teams and how they became attracted to the League.

Starting with the newcomers, Tin Cups, who back in 2009 were formed when the league was suddenly informed that one of the regular teams was withdrawing as the majority of their players had retired / gone overseas / were not in fighting condition.

So, Jack (Captain Smooth-Ez) agreed to get players from other societies and also to introduce some of the up-and-coming Indonesian young players to the format of matchplay. Next hurdle was what name to call themselves and after some soul-searching they remembered the Kevin Costner 1996 golf hustling film “Tin Cup” — hence the name was etched.

Their first entrance into the campaign was truly magnificent and lived up to the hustling title as they were crowned champions. Since then they have remained as one of the most competitive groups and had several top three positions. Throughout the league season Jack blends ladies and men, young and ‘not so young’, high and low handicappers together and it is now well known that the ladies are not nicknamed Amazonians for nothing — with the forward tees and the power of these ladies, it is quite daunting to watch. The young Indonesian players get a real test of character but are channeled thoughtfully by their captain.

If anyone wishes to come along and join the league, then contact one of the committees and appropriate arrangements can be made, please see above for contact details for each society. Also for players wishing to taste the atmosphere of the League, come along and also enjoy a super special weekend rate. Good rates, great atmosphere, playing on one of the most well-known courses in Jakarta and meeting new golfers is something special.

MEET THE GOLFER

BY SIMON REYNOLDS

W e caught up with the talented 18-year-old Indonesian Amateur Fadhli Soetarso the

week before The CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters at Royale Jakarta. The tournament organizers arranged a separate qualifying initiative for this Asian Tour sanctioned event, ‘The Amateur League’, whereby the local amateur who accumulated the most points from the three Indonesian Golf Tour events prior to the event would gain the fourth and final spot to compete at the 2014 CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters. Fadhli was the winner, performing well in the run-up highlighted by a Top Five finish at the Indonesian Golf Challenge at Palm Hills earlier in the year.

The CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters was a thrilling event, and Fadhli came up just short of being the second local player to make the cut alongside Indonesia’s Number One George Gandranata. This would have been impressive given the fact there were 20 Indonesian professionals playing in the event. Fadhli was at even par for the tournament on Friday 15 holes into his second round when thunder suspended play at 5pm local time. Unfortunately two bogeys the next day was literally one too many.

What is your official USGA Handicap?I keep track of my scoring average wherever I play. My scoring average is around 74.

You were born and raised in Jakarta, where did you begin your golfing journey?I was born in Jakarta, but my father got a work contract in Botswana when I was young. It was a fascinating place to live especially as there were more animals than people there. This is where I first started playing golf, and my family lived there for three years from when I was five years old to seven years of age. I started experimenting with plastic clubs then but I started using genuine junior clubs when I was six years old. There are only two golf courses in Botswana and not many junior events. When I was 7 years old and back in Jakarta I started competing regularly in local Indonesian junior events.

You have had some notable accomplish-ments already in your junior and amateur golf career, which are your most memorable ones?Winning the 2012 Indonesia Junior Championship at Jagorawi was one of my favourites, especially as I won by 8 strokes.

Fadhli Rahman SoetarsoI spent lots of time developing my game with Derrick Cribb at the Commonwealth academy at Jagorawi. Jordan Irawan also practised with me there.

Jagorawi Old Course and New Course are notoriously tight courses where accuracy is key, would you say this helped you in your development towards being the successful amateur you are today?From a young age, I was never physically big, and I was never a particularly long hitter. I relied on my accuracy and my ability to consistently put the ball in play, alongside an ability to shape my shots, which helped me develop as a golfer, and gave me lots of confidence on the golf course. I have always enjoyed playing on tight courses. On the big tours, consistency of the tee will give you a better chance to make birdies.

What is your strategy going into the Indonesian Masters at Royale? The course plays long even by professional standards and one of the Par 4s is 492 yards.On the long Par 4s, a par will be a good score, especially when the wind picks up. I played a practice round there the other day and on the longest Par 4, 492 yards I hit a driver and a hybrid and I was pin high, but yes it is a pretty long par 4. I am confident that if I stay patient and keep to my game plan I will have chances for birdies on several holes throughout my round.

What are your most notable achieve-ments in tournament golf so far?I won the Faldo Series Indonesian Championship U-18 title and that secured a place for me to compete in the Asia Grand Final at Mission Hills a couple of months ago. I have also had some good performances in local Indonesian professional events. I finished in the Top 10 at Rawamangun's Jakarta Golf Club at the end of last year and I finished in the Top 5 at the Indonesian Golf Challenge at Palm Hills a few months back. At the Emeralda pro event before the Masters I came in 11th and this secured my spot to play in this year’s Indonesian Masters.

Now that you are 18 years old, what are your long-term plans? You can see that you have the game to compete with the very best local professionals on the Indonesian Golf Tour, will you turn professional in the near future?I still feel I have to improve my overall game, when I played at the Indonesian Open at the end of 2013 I witnessed how Asia’s best players practised and played during tournaments. It was eye opening and inspiring and it gave me some ideas on how I should practice and what areas of my game that need to be improved to fulfil my dream to become a top professional.

I feel like it will take me a couple more years to master the game. Master in my own definition is to play under par consistently. For me to achieve this level of mastery it is a different mental game, because lots of players have talent but to develop it appropriately you have to nurture it correctly. When I wasn’t breaking par I felt frustrated because I knew I could do it, when I finally started breaking par I felt the same physically, but mentally I felt different.

Most importantly, my priority is to finish college and get a bachelors degree before I turn professional. My dream is to play college golf in the United States, and I have applied to several golf programs there.

The average age at the PGA Tour Q-School is 31-32 this season, so there is no need to rush.

2014 has seen the launch of the Indonesia Golf Tour, a local professional golf circuit with regular events and decent prize money, how excited are you about this new prospect here in Indonesia?Absolutely, my coach and I will look at the schedule strategically, and be sure which event I really want to enter and to be sure I am ready to win. At each local tournament I join my aim is to win, and my priority now is to improve my World Amateur Ranking points. If is secure and maintain my position in the Top 2 – 3 in Indonesia I will get a chance to compete in the Asia Amateur Championships.

What are you interests outside of golf? Where will I find you when you are not playing golf? Are there other sports you enjoy?I love to hang out with my friends, go to the cinema or go eat at a good place. I love to eat and there are so many good places to eat here in South Jakarta, street food is sometimes the best. I used to play soccer in elementary school and into my last year at high school, I support Manchester United.

What is your favourite book?I love the story of David and Goliath. It relates to sport and life but not golf directly. It is really interesting to see how David thinks when he goes against Goliath and defeats him. It is the classic story of the underdog. I like to see myself as an underdog in golf.

FEATURED COURSE REVIEW

BY SIMON REYNOLDS

F inna Golf & Country Club Resort boasts a 18 hole championship course located

at 500m altitude in the foothills of three majestic mountains; Mt. Welirang, Mt. Arjuna and Mt. Penanggungan. Peter Thomson and Ross Perret have crafted a mountain resort course amongst rolling foothills, East Javan tropical fauna and rice terraces to create a golfing experience amongst spell-bounding natural beauty and fresh air. The course is by no means long, playing at a modest 6,345m from the back tees, but golf in nature's Garden of Eden should not require power but craft and care. On more than one occasion, the golfer may be forced to stop and pause and appreciate the level of beauty surrounding them, playing golf amongst the foothills in the presence of three towering mountains on the horizon.

Finna Golf will celebrate their 21st Anniversary at the end of this month, and the mountain resort offer golfers and visitors a sanctuary of peace and comfort from their busy professional lives. Located just over an hour away from Surabaya’s Juanda International airport and just over half an hour away from Malang airport where direct f lights connect to Jakarta’s Halim Airport through several local air carriers. The resort offers pick-up services and after a one hour flight from Jakarta and journey from Surabaya or Malang airports the resort environment is where one comes to relax and refresh and the complete facilities on offer will accommodate golfers and non-golfers equally. The resort boasts several very unique features that one will struggle to find elsewhere in Indonesia. Located near the VIP villa, one can find a 115m long swimming pool 2m wide, the pool is visible from Google Earth and one must see it to believe it; it’s a sight to behold. Please refer to the course information where the full list of on-site facilities and accommodation are displayed for your consideration. During our visit, a grass tennis court was

near completion, and the prospect of a game of grass court tennis at Finna Golf adds extra kudos to an already complete mountain resort package.

The three food and beverage outlets at the resort will cater for all your dietary requirements, and one would be advised on sampling the local specialties unique to East Java. The Sop Buntut Goreng was sumptuous and a worthy meal after 18 holes of golf. For those who prefer western food, there is a complete array of western dishes; The Finna Burger is also highly recommended, as this hearty burger is comprised of top quality Australian beef - very wholesome.

THE COURSEDesigned by acclaimed international golf course architects - Peter Thomson, Michael Wolveridge and Ross Perret - provides two distinctive 'nines' starting and finishing at the clubhouse. The architects, whose pedigree include such courses as the New Course, St. Andrews, Scotland, The Royal Hongkong Golf Club and the Bali Handara Country Club has skillfully incorporated Finna's grounds and natural features into their design to create a golf experience to rival the best in the world. Many historical features scattered pot bunkers and the omnipresent clumps of lemongrass that guard the edge of the fairways. It is no surprise that Peter Thomson was a British Open Champion, as the distinctive pot bunkers strategically placed around the course and rolling mounds amongst fairways portray a distinctive links style

course albeit at 500m altitude in the East Javan jungle - truly a unique golfing experience.

The Par 3, Hole #5 was our signature hole of the front nine. Playing 156m from the white tees, and teeing off from an elevated tee box over rice terraces towards a cove-like green enclosed by large tropical trees and in the shadow of the looming Mt. Penanggungan. Holes like this encapsulate the playing conditions here at Finna; golf surrounded by sheer natural beauty.

The Par 3, Hole #12 was our favourite hole of the back nine. Golfers once again navigate their tee shot through a thin opening, between rice terraces to the left and towering trees to the right, as a deep pot bunker waits patiently at the front of the green and again towards the rear, as Mt. Welirang and Mt. Arjuna stand tall in the horizon. Although a modest 127m from the white tees, the tee off requires deft focus and accuracy to land safely on the green in regulation. Thomson and Perret once again demonstrate their ability to create a challenging golf course intertwined amongst this setting of teeming natural beauty.

Golf and leisure at Finna Golf is a breath of fresh air. Offering a round of golf amongst genuine natural scenery backed up by warm and comforting East Javanese hospitality and fantastic mountain resort facilities. Stay and play packages are advised as I am sure you will not want to leave after one day and one day only at this mountain resort.

JUNIOR GOLF

BY ARRON COLE

Imperial Golf Academy Juniors Dominate at Modern Indonesian Junior Golf Tournament 2014

MODERN GOLF COURSE, SATURDAY & SUNDAY, 12 – 13 APRIL 2014

I ndonesian parents have gotten together to develop and run the Indonesian Junior Golf Tournament circuit. I was lucky enough to go

and watch the last event at Modern Golf Course in Tangerang. The parents have formed a committee to run the events and help support their children.

It was fantastic to see the changes in the course set up for this particular series. The parents have looked into the yardages that age group events are played on in the USA, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. Playing the correct distance tees for your junior is vital if they are going to develop course management strategies. When your junior player plays tee boxes too long for them, all the trouble from the tee box is never in play. If the PGA Tour players can reach a par five with a wedge for their third shot, so should your junior. The younger age groups really enjoyed and took advantage of finally playing a tournament where they are hitting the same club into the greens as the older juniors and tour players. Next time you take your junior out to play make sure they are playing tee boxes that give them the same clubs into the hole as a tour player. If you want your junior to enjoy the game make sure they can reach every green in regulation if they hit good golf shots.

The pin placements were also designed to give the junior a chance to make some good scores, with twelve easy pin placements and six medium. Having the pins accessible still requires the junior to hit the ball in the right spot on the green to make the putt. But it helps to eliminate very high scoring from just one or two holes where the chip or putt can be almost impossible on the very undulating greens that we have in Asia.

The first day saw some higher than normal scoring with good playing conditions. With many of the juniors getting used to the shorter tee boxes and not having a game plan on how to best play the holes. Modern have pot-like bunkers very similar to The Old Course in Scotland, which are reachable fromthe forward tee box. The second day saw the rain come down, but the juniors' spirits did not dampen. Many of them learn from their mistakes from day one and taking more three woods or hybrids from the tee box to get the ball in play.

One of the stand out rounds of the tournament was from Mathew Alexander in the under eight section. At one stage Mathew was two under par, finishing the day with an incredible 73.

The Imperial Golf Academy students in the Modern Tournament had three wins and two seconds from the eight divisions.

I have been training national golfers since 1992, with many of my students gaining scholarships to the USA, winning national championships and becoming PGA winning Professionals. To give you an idea of the development for the under eight, under twelve and under sixteen level, I have put in an overview of the development required for a tournament level Junior.

OVERVIEW OF TOURNAMENT LEVEL JUNIORThe juniors participate in squad-based training. The young talent in these programmes are assessed through a number of talent identification tests.Such assessments measure golf performance mastery as well as other dimensions for success across five key performance skill areas. Information gathered during the sessions assist our coaching team in tailoring individual programmes specific to the players’ needs.

This stage of the National Development Programme enables a greater understanding of the emerging players within the programmes, it also assists the coaching team with individualised player information that will assist the players’ long term development.

LONG TERM PLAYER DEVELOPMENT STAGE: LEARN TO PLAY IN TOURNAMENTSThe fundamental movement skills and golf-specific skills the player has learnt in the earlier stages of development now need to be put to the test in appropriate competition. This can include junior tournaments and events, and for the higher performers national age group events.It is important that by this stage of development the player has developed good technical proficiency of all golf skills and has good general physical conditioning. The juniors train these skills and conditioning, and develop their mental and tactical skills through learning to compete at age appropriate events while establishing their pre competition preparation.

The junior spends 60 percent of their time in developing their skills and conditioning base in a tailored programme addressing their strengths and weaknesses; and 40 per cent of their time specifically training, preparing and playing in appropriate competitive events.

Players are introduced to periodised planning. This is to ensure the player has enough skill development training time and has a focus on only a few key events within a more limited and age appropriate tournament schedule.

Below are the results from the Indonesian Junior Golf Tournament held in Modern Golf Club.

If you are looking for your junior to enjoy the game, make sure they are playing appropriate tee boxes for their age. That the tournaments they enter are progressive from fun, to district, then national competition to allow your junior to grow their skill level for playing tournaments. Most importantly make the emphasis of them doing their best, focusing on each shot and the score will take care of itself. Golf is a lifelong journey and it takes on average twenty years to develop a major champion. Allow your junior to enjoy the process.

TECHNOLOGY/ LIFESTYLE

BY SIMON REYNOLDS

I remember watching golf in the summer of 2001 following my hero, on Star Sports Asia, David Duval

with his M-Frame Oakley’s wrapped around his face, protecting his eyes from the British summer sun, on his way to an Open Championship victory. In today’s golfing world, when you think Oakley eyewear you may think of Adam Scott and Ian Poulter; it is a brand associated with sporting excellence, a brand associated with champions.

At this year’s CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters, we had the chance to sit down with Oakley’s Southeast Asian Regional Development Coordinator Andrew McMahon to find out just what options we have as golfers with the Oakley eyewear range. As a golfer I was curious to find out which are the perfect lenses to protect my pupils from bright tropical sunlight whilst looking sharp at the same time? Could sunglasses really make me perform better as a golfer?

As a Golfer, Oakley offers us a wide range of different frames with a variety of lenses. The frame is a matter of style and preference, but in terms of the lenses' performance what are the highest performing lenses specifically designed for the game of golf?We have the G30 lenses, which have been designed and developed specifically for golf. They come in both a polarized version and a non-polarized. They are the best lenses for improving depth perception. You will see a number of the Asian Tour players using them this week like Thongchai, Kiradech and many others. They will allow you to read the greens better, they will show you depressions and show you exactly how the greens are actually cut. Most importantly they will pick up the white ball better to your eyes.

What are the performance differences between Oakley’s regular black iridium polarized lenses and the G30 lenses?The clarity is the same, for all our lenses we don’t skimp on the clarity. The actual tint on the light that is coming through the G30 lenses and how your brain perceives it, we have tweaked that to an extent that it is going to improve your golf game. The G30 lenses won't make any difference

off the tee, but as soon as you get on and around the greens, the G30 will allow you to pick up the details of the green far better. Oakley have spent five years in research and development with the G30 lenses, and we can guarantee they will help you read the greens far better in sunny condition when your eyes are naturally being strained by the bright light and UV rays directly from the sun. You will pick up the slope variables, you will see the cut, how these will change the way the ball will potentially roll, giving you all the information, before you go ahead and putt the ball with confidence.

The black iridium polarized lenses look far darker to the naked eye and one cannot see the eyes of the wearer, with the G30 lenses the eyes can be seen. Does this affect the lenses' overall UV protection to the golfers' eyes?The material Oakley use for all our lenses is called Plutonite, Oakley is the only brand in the world that uses it. It is the highest level of Polycarbonate, it is 100% UV protective in its raw form. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if our lenses are clear, polarized, black, orange, red; Oakley lenses are all 100% UV protective.

The conditions for the last two days at Royale Jakarta Golf Club have been incredibly hot and sunny, would you still advise a recreational golfer to use the orange G30 lenses or adopt the darker shades of the black iridium polarized lenses? Adam Scott always seems to opt for the darker black lenses.In hot and sunny conditions like today, I would be walking out there with the G30 polarized lenses. The G stands for golf, the 30 stands for 30% light transferring through the lenses. Then with the polarized

filter added to it, it takes the harshness out of the light. It takes away the white light. It is generally the white or blue light rays that make your eyes squint. The polarized filter repels these lights for added comfort. Creating a smoother light that comes through to your eyes. It creates the happy medium, for example when you find yourself playing out of trees the lenses will still be bright enough for you not to have to remove the glasses for the shot as you may need to do when wearing black iridium lenses. The black iridium polarized lenses will only allow 10% of the light through so golfer may find themselves removing their glasses at particular moments during the round. In courses with lots of water, or lots of sand there will be lots of glare reflecting of the surface, or the early morning tee time it’s a beautiful day and there is a bit of dew on the ground, you will get some reflective light off the fairway, that is where the polarized come into its own.

Which frame options can the golfer purchase the G30 lenses with?It comes with all of our sports frames. The radar lock is a great option because it has

the easy interchangeable feature where you can alternate with different lenses options, the ‘switch lock’ system. The Radar series comes in 17 different frame colours, so the fashionable types can work towards finding their favourite colour combinations. We are developing our ‘custom programme’ so you can walk into one of our O-Stores, and you can say I want this pink frame with the G30 lenses for golf, and the guys in store will build it for you. So, you can wear the pink frames just like Ian Poulter (see picture).

Which are the best stores in Indonesia with the largest selection of Oakley eyewear and golf products in store?The O-Store in Grand Indonesia is recommended, we are about to roll out the full custom range into this store. We also have Oakley products for sale in 60 Golf House stores throughout the country. There is also an O-Store in Senayan City. The O-Stores have a wider selection of products available in store.

THE IMPACT POSITION

In this edition of Golf Indonesia, l will be focusing on The Impact Position, continuing my series on the principals of a good golf swing. This is the next step following the grip, setup and alignment, takeaway, and the ‘L’ position.

The most frustrating part of the game for most amateur golfers is their contact with the ball. Results vary from hitting the ground with the club before the ball, or thinning/topping the ball. From chipping to the full swing to bunkers, it affects every area of the game.

A common position for most golfers is to have their hands behind the club face at impact which they will repeat for most shots. This causes the club to either drop into the ground before the ball, or push the body up, to let the club come through without hitting the ground and top the ball. A flip or scooping action will occur from impact and into the early follow through, resulting in a high-ball flight, lack of distance, and poor control over the ball.

The main causes leading up to incorrect contact are a poor grip, which leads to the arm and club remaining too straight during the takeaway and backswing. This limited use of the wrists in the takeaway causes the wrists to become too active at impact and in the early follow through.

One of the most basic fundamentals of golf is to make contact with the ball first. This is achieved by making a slight downward strike on the ball by having the hands in front of the club face as it makes contact with the ball, in conjunction with the rotation of the body. The breaking of the wrists during the backswing allows this to take place.

Chipping — One of the best ways to start improving your contact for all shots is to practise getting your hands in front of the ball in your chip shots first. It’s also imperative that your hips are in front of your arms throughout the down swing to help achieve this position. The chipping swing is also the base of the fuller swings, so you are working on two areas at the same time.

Fuller Swings — The setup has changed for the longer swings but the impact position is the same. Improve your longer swing contact by setting up your body for a full swing but only perform half swings. This helps to train the brain to want to keep the hands in front at impact, so it will reproduce this automatically when you are making full swings in practise and on the course.

Green Side Bunker Shots — Even though our goal is to make contact with the sand first, the impact position should still remain very similar to the chip shots and fuller swings. The ball position should be moved slightly closer to the left foot to make it easier to hit the sand first, and in order to do this effectively and more consistently the hands must stay slightly in front of the club face at impact. This will be the ultimate test of your impact position. If you can get the ball out of the bunker consistently, your results from the grass will improve also.

Early Follow Through — When your impact position starts to improve, your follow through will automatically start to improve also. Your arms will become more extended and remain straighter with the club for longer, and your hands will be further from your body, therefore eliminating that 'chicken wing' look. Once again, you can really focus on this area by improving your chipping swing first.

To fast track your improvement, try performing your chipping shots with your right hand and left hand individually, making sure you are keeping your hands in front at impact.
