What PAR354 stand for?
September first 2009 Crans Montana, Switzerland, the day when I met Zhang Lian Wei. Zhang just flew over from China to compete at the European Masters . As the local club Pro, I offer Zhang to be his caddy for the week and at the same time to look at his game that was winless since 2008.
After beeing seduce by my idea on coaching, Zhang Lian Wei invite me to China as his personal coach first at the HSBC World Championship second at the UBS HongKong and the to Mission Hills China for the 55th World Cup of golf.
During my stay at Mission Hills, the biggest golf resort in the world, I was introduce to Zhang Lian Wei first PAR3 course, 18 holes in China of a total par of 54. Looking for a project name that would related to my journey into China "PAR354" was to be set. 6 months later Zhang Lian Wei was winning the PGA of China.
In January 2010, Zhang Lian Wei offer me to go to Haigeng, China Olympic Training center, to establish Zhang Lian Wei first Jungster Training base, I was doing so by training local coaches and implement programs. In october 2010, I moved to Grand-Hill Golf Club in Sichuan province to support leading Chinese female Yang Tao Li who later qualify for the Japan Tour.
In 2011, I started to coach more ladies following the China Ladies tour keeping a eye on the China Golf scene where I later started a research on putting. This research has lead me to meet and speak with World Class Champions and started a active cooperation with a Shanghai Company to launch the "Madoso Golf project". .
Later in November I travel for my first time to Australia - Sydney for the Australian PGA and Melbourne for the Presidents Cup where I could meet further Champions and Keynotes contributor to the game.

Hommage à Severiano Ballesteros

| Seve Icon 1957 - 2011 |

Le 2 septembre 1996, tu m’as offert le privilège d’un tête à tête de 4 heures, d’abord au practice du golf- club Crans-sur-Sierre à échanger nos idées et plus particulièrement à discuter de « La Différence » que je venais de publier, puis le soir, au bar, ou tu m’as fait des confidences et donné des conseils qu’à ce jour j’utilise encore.
Cette même semaine, sans le savoir, tu réalisais l’ultime meilleur résultat en stroke play de ta carrière. C’était pendant l’Européen Masters dans nos montagnes ou plus tard tu as redessiné le parcours qui depuis porte ton nom.
Aujourd’hui tu as quitté ce monde et je souhaite te rendre un hommage, car comme beaucoup je t’admirais :
« SEVE, c’est comme cela que nous t’appelions car ton charisme nous faisait frères.
Tu nous as inspirés, car tu osais et réussissais les coups impensables.
Ton geste était une pure grâce et ta fougue nous emportait.
Tu as été notre maître, guide et idole.
Nous avons crié, applaudi, exulté avec toi.
Tu as tout gagné, en solo, en équipe, en mentor.
Tu savais aussi te rebeller et dire tout haut tes pensées.
Oui le golf était en toi et tu nous as bénis. »
Mais c’est dans la maladie que tu nous as donné les plus grandes leçons : « le courage et la modestie ».
A travers les caméras, tu nous as montré ton calvaire mais aussi invité dans ton intimité, ton passé, ton présent et tes espoirs du retour, même avec humour.
Seulement ce parcours maladif, sans fin, t’a épuisé.
Aujourd’hui, de nouveau, nous pleurons mais ne t’oublierons pas car l’esprit de ton jeu est en nous !
Merci d’avoir existé. Hasta siempre SEVE

Taiwan golfer refuses $25m sponsorship to become Chinese citizen
Sourced by: www.sportbusiness.com
Taiwan's Yani Tseng, the fourth-ranked woman golfer in the world, has refused a $25 million endorsement with the condition to change her nationality to Chinese, according to the China Post. It is understood a Chinese businessman had hoped that Tseng would represent China in the 2016 Olympics. Golf will be an Olympic sport in Rio for this first time since 1904. Yani Tseng’s father, Tseng Mao-hsin, said a Chinese company had been trying to woo her since last year. The latest contract deal also included the use of private jets and a luxury villa in Beijing, he said. Twenty-one-year-old Yani Tseng is the youngest player in LPGA history to win three career major championships.
Comments from Stéphane Barras : " Find me this sponsor/investor and I will make sure a Chinese Golfer will be competitive in 2016!"
