WGC-HSBC NEWS
All of the big trophies have pride of place in their winner’s display cabinets, because
none have won at such lofty levels before. Thirteen different players have won the
last 13 Majors, while the last nine World Golf Championships events have been won
by nine different winners; a spell unparalleled since the tournaments were
introduced in 1999. There have also been 12 first-time winners during PGA Tour
regular season and an almost unprecedented parade of rookie winners.
The reason would seem to be obvious: the decline of Tiger Woods. Through to the
end of 2009 Woods had won almost 30 per cent of his starts on the PGA Tour
including 16 of the 29 WGC events in which he competed.
What we’re seeing now, with Tiger so far down the rankings and so far removed
from his last big victory that he hasn’t qualified to play in China, is not just young
talent, but several generations of golfers figuring out how to win?
THE WEIRD ART OF WINNING Written by Tim Maitland
The last global tournament of
the stroke play season will see
an unprecedented number of
newcomers rewarded for their
wins with a place at the WGC-
HSBC Champions. For the first
time in golf history, there’s a
chance the season will end with
all the Major titles and WGC
trophies in the hands of first-
time winners. The world of golf
has never been so wide open.

“People had been telling me for years ‘You’re trying too hard!’ I always thought, how can you try too
hard? It doesn’t make any sense,” says Harrison Frazar, who set a PGA Tour record when he claimed
the FedEx St. Jude Classic in Memphis in his 355th start. The turning point for the now 40-year-old
Texan was when, after starting the season by missing the cuts in six of his first eight events, he decided
it was time to quit.
“In my mind it was over. Everybody was on board; family, friends… everybody knew it,” Frazar says.
“I had just given up on trying to force results. I just said ‘I’m going to stand up, pick my lines and just hit
it and see what happens’.”
There are few examples as extreme as Frazar’s, but Hunter Mahan will attest to how fickle winning golf
tournaments can be.
“Whenever you watch great players play, they never look like they're trying to win; they're just trying
to play the game correctly and hit the right shots at the right time and do all the right things that are
going to enable you to win. You've got to keep working and keep learning and just kind of let it
happen.”
It’s because of these emotional contradictions that so many golfers reach out to sports psychologists
to try and find a framework that allows them to perform to their potential in pressure situations. Thus
the game is full of players who talk, in different ways, of staying process oriented rather than results
focused.
TRY TO WIN AND YOU DON’T
Written by Tim Maitland
WGC-HSBC NEWS
Any hacker will recognize the irony of a
sport where the more you try the worse it
can get; we’ve all played horrendously
until, just when we’re ready to give up, we
finally smack one off the middle of the
club. Another of the qualifiers for the HSBC
Champions coming off a first win on the
PGA Tour has done exactly that, except for
him, it wasn’t one round… it was his whole
career.

Sheshan Junior Fall
Series
With the completion of the 3rd Sheshan Junior Tournament on October 15th, we are now at
the halfway point of an exciting Fall Series here at Sheshan. Each event attracts more
players than the previous one and juniors are coming out in maximum numbers to all
compete for the title of “2011 Sheshan Junior Champion”. Players are rewarded points
based on their respective finish in each tournament and all players are working hard on
qualifying for the Sheshan Junior Championship on Dec 10th which will determine the Junior
Champion Golfer of the year! Through three tournaments here are the current leaders for
the 5 respective divisions:
Every month the Sheshan Golf School will feature a
different student and highlight one of their outstanding
rounds they recently posted. This month’s “Round of the
Month” features 9-year old Sheshan member Ye Lei.
Known for having one of the best games of any Sheshan
Junior, Ye Lei recently took her game to the next level by
competing in the 36-hole Club Championship. Competing
in her first Ladies Club Championship, Ye Lei not only shot
the lowest round of any lady she shot the lowest round of
the entire field including all men when she began the
tournament with a 77. Ye Lei followed her impressive
round the next day with a round of 82 to win the Ladies
Club Championship by one shot. Congratulations to Ye Lei
on her excellent round and winning the Ladies Club
Championship!

Golf; A game of 34 rules
but many variables
THE SHESHAN GOLF SCHOOL
SCENARIO #1
SCENARIO #2
The ground between the tee markers is not level, so you have to tee the ball slightly below your feet. You then slice your shot out-of-bounds. What you could have done You could've looked for a level spot because the teeing area extends two club-lengths behind the front of the markers (Definition, Teeing Ground).
You see a ball plugged in a hazard. You think the ball is yours and attempt to play it to save a penalty stroke. Turns out it was the wrong ball, and you incur a two-stroke penalty. Plus, you have to abandon that ball and proceed with your own ball. What you could have done A revision to Rule 12-2 in 2008 allows you to mark and lift the ball in a hazard, without penalty, to identify it, after announcing your intention to a fellow-competitor. (If it's yours, you must replace it in the same lie.)
SCENARIO #3
Your ball is on a cart path that is surrounded by gnarly rough, and you prepare to take relief. You measure one club-length from the path and drop the ball, but even a club-length of relief leaves you in a nasty lie. What you could have done The "nearest point of relief" doesn't mean an area within one club-length of the path. It's the spot closest to where the ball lies, no nearer the hole, where the cart path (or whatever condition from which you're taking relief) would no longer interfere with your stance (Definition, Nearest Point of Relief). So the drop area could be farther from the path than one club-length.
