On Wednesday I spent some time with Mark Foster. Mark has had 2 weeks off so we worked on getting back to some basics that help make his stroke work, which include forearm alignment and grip.
On both Tuesday and Wednesday I spent some time with Maarten Lafaber. The work Maarten has been doing is starting to bed in and feel more natural, so he was happy going into the event and feeling confident. He also picked up a new Callie fc with a lighter shaft than he has been using.
This week Edoardo Molinari picked up a new Callie putter with a prototype shaft that he will do some testing with over the next few weeks. John Bickerton and Peter Lawrie also picked up Donna’s, on which we had changed the sight line for them. Both players prefer a sight line on the top edge instead of the cavity.
A note on last week in Saint Omer. It was good to see Rob Coles kick start his season with a fine performace. Rob had a real chance to win the event coming into the back 9, before a couple of bad breaks left him with a seasons best 7th finish. Altogether a better result and hopefully some momentum for Rob.
Next week its the French Open and one of the biggest purses of the season for the guys to fight for.
