  As  the  weather  gets  increasingly  hotter,  our  GCM  team  will  be  doing  their  best   to   keep   the   golf   course   in   the   best   possible   shape.   You   will   notice   some  small   areas   around   the   course   that   have   been   aerated   as   well   as   some   small  patches  on  the  greens.  These  areas  will  heal  quickly  and  we  trust  that  they  won’t  disrupt  play  too  much.       The   bent   grass   greens   are   especially   sensitive   to   extreme   heat   and  humidity  so  our  GCM  team  will  be  hand  watering  during  the  day  on  many  of  the  greens.  Please  respect  the  fact  that  this  will  benefit   the  Club   in  the  end  and  be  patient  as  our  team  is  watering.         You  will  also  see  many  greens  with  large  fans  around  them.    These  fans  are  essential  to  keeping  the  greens  cool  and  although  they  may  occasionally  come  in  to  play,  they  play  a  very  important  role  throughout  the  summer  months.         The  water  edging  is  now  finished  on  the  18th  hole  and  work  is  moving  along  on  other  water  hazard  edges  such  as  the  2nd  and  9th  holes.  The  finished  product  on  18  looks  fantastic  and  will  undoubtedly  provide  some  excitement  on  any  golf  shot   that  heads   in   that  direction.  Please  be  cautious  when  hitting  shots   toward  any  of  the  team  working  on  the  project.           As   always,   we   thank   you   for   your   understanding   with   regards   to   these  matters  and   if  you  have  any  questions  or  comments,  please   feel   free   to   let  me  know  at  any  time.     Yours  sincerely,

CLUB  NEWS    J  Lindeberg  at  Sheshan  

By  Gavin  Eckford  

 

   In   the   past,   the   US   PGA   Tour   has  generally  been  a  little  more  conservative  with  regards   to   fashion,   but   in   the   late   1990s,   a  Swedish  golfer  put  a  new  spin  on  golf  apparel  in   the   United   States   and   around   the   world.  Jesper   Parnevik   became   instantly  recognizable   for   his   flashy   white   trousers,  fitted   shirts,   vibrant   colors   and   his   signature  cap  with   the   brim   flipped   up.   This   sparked   a  new   interest   in   bringing   more   flamboyant  European  designs  to  the  game  of  golf  around  the   world.   Johan   Lindeberg   was   the  mastermind   behind   the   Parnevik   sensation  and  his  company  J  Lindeberg  (known  to  many  as   JL)   has   since   become   a   huge   name   in   the  world  of   fashion  both   inside   and  outside   the  game  of  golf.    

  JL  has  not  been  available  in  the  Chinese  market  but  the  brand  will  soon  be  available  to  the   Chinese   golf   market   in   very   few   select  locations.   We   are   very   pleased   to   announce  that   Sheshan   International   Golf   Club   will   be  one  of   the   few  golf   courses   in  China   to  carry  the   Swedish   fashion   brand.   Look   for   J  Lindeberg   to   hit   the   shelves   of   our   Pro   Shop  during  the  month  of  August!

WHAT’S  IN  THE  BAG?    

What’s  In  Cyrus  Janssen’s  Bag?  By  Gavin  Eckford  

For  decades,  Titleist  has  been  renowned  for  making   some   of   the   best   golf   balls   in   the  world.  Since  the  Pro-­‐V1  hit  the  golf  scene  in  late  2000,   it  quickly   took   the  world  of  golf  by   storm.   It   has   been   the   #1   ball   in  Professional   Golf   for   many   years   now.  Although   Titleist   is   generally   associated  with   golf   balls   first,   they   also   make  exceptional  equipment.    

Cyrus   uses   the   Titleist   910D3,   9.5   degrees  with   the   Mitsubishi   Diamana   Kai’li   X-­‐Stiff.  The   910D3   features   a   traditional   shaped  head  with  Titleist  SureFit  technology  which  allows   the   driver   to   change   lie   angles   and  lofts   making   a   custom   fit   for   the   golfer.  With   a   fairly   low   center   of   gravity,   the  driver   launches   mid   and   has   mid   to   low  spin   rates.  This  club   is  good   for   those  who  want   to  be  able   to  control   the  ball   flight  a  little   more.   For   length   and   accuracy,   we  recommend   the   910D2   which   is   slightly  larger  and  more  forgiving.

Sheshan  Head  Teaching  Professional  Cyrus  Janssen  uses  Titleist  golf  equipment.    

 

So far we have taken a look at Robbie ’s golf bag, as well as my own. This month, it is on to Sheshan Head Teaching Professional, Cyrus Janssen ’s turn to let us in on the equipment he keeps in his golf bag!

WHAT’S  IN  THE  BAG?    

For   irons,  Cyrus  uses  Titleist  AP2s  with  Project  X  6.0  shafts.  The  AP2s  have  been  a  very   popular   iron   as   it   provides   a   great   blend   of  workability   and   forgiveness.   The  clubs  have  the  feel  and  shot-­‐shaping  abilities  of  a  forged  blade  with  the  forgiveness  of  a  high-­‐end  cast  iron.  Along  with  exceptional  playability,  the  AP2  iron  is  one  of  the  nicest  looking  irons  in  the  game  of  golf.  For  those  looking  for  even  more  feel,  try  the  Titleist  MB   Forged   or   CB   Forged.   For   those   looking   for   something  more   forgiving  with   an   emphasis   on   higher   and   straighter   shots,   try   the   AP1.   The   AP1   still   looks  great  but  is  a  little  more  forgiving  for  those  occasional  off-­‐centered  hits.    

For  many  years,  some  of  the  best  wedges  in  the  world  have  come  from  Bob  Vokey  who  designs  for  Titleist.  Cyrus  uses  the  spin  milled  Vokey  SM4  wedges  in  52,56,  and  60   degrees.  With   clean   traditional   designs,   Vokey  wedges   look   great   and  perform  great   as  well.   Solid   feel   and  high   spin   rates   are   some  of   the   feature  of   the  Vokey  wedges.    

As  Bob  Vokey  is  synonymous  with  wedges,  Scotty  Cameron  is  so  with  putter  designs.  On   the   greens,   Cyrus   uses   a   Scotty   Cameron   GoLo   at   35   inches.   It’s   matte   black  finish  provides  for  a  sleek  look  while   it’s  milled  face  provides  for  a  true  roll  off  the  putter  every  time.  Its  mallet  shape  has  a  fantastic  sound  which  increases  the  overall  feel  of  the  putter.    

 

 

 

 

Here is a complete list of what’s in Cyrus Janssen’s bag:

    Golf:  A  game  of  34  rules  but  many  variables  

If  you  have  played  the  wrong  ball  through  the  green,  the  shot  you  have  just  hit  does  not  count  but  you  will  incur  2  penalty  strokes.  You  have  to  

go  back  and  play  the  correct  ball  (put  the  wrong  ball  back).

GOLF  RULE  OF  THE  MONTH

Rule  15:  Playing  The  Wrong  Ball  

If  you  cannot  find  the  correct  ball,  you  have  to  return  to  the  place  where  you  last  played  the  correct  ball  from  and  drop  another  ball  with  1  additional  penalty  stroke  for  the  lost  ball  (you  can  tee  the  ball  up  if  the  shot  was  played  from  the  teeing  ground).  

If  you  finish  a  hole  and  tee  off  on  the  next  hole  before  rectifying  your  mistake,  you  will  be  disqualified.  

One  suggestion  I  would  make  would  be  to  add  additional  makings  to  your  golf  ball,  this  will  make  it  easier  identify  your  ball  and  make  it  less  

likely  for  you  to  hit  the  wrong  ball  the  next  time  you  are  playing.
