The success of this goal made Zhou Fangyuan's confidence more and more sufficient.

"Actually, what I just told you is just the easiest way to classify it. The so-called single-layer, double-layered, three-layer or multi-shell balls are basically divided according to the structure of the golf ball.

In addition to this criterion, there is also a classification according to the performance of the ball.

There are probably two types of classifications.

One is the spinning ball, which is specifically designed to enhance spin and tends to have a three-layer structure.

At its core, it is a central ball nucleus surrounded by rubber fibers, and the outside is covered with a thin, soft material called resin skin. These balls spin more, making it easier to hit left or right curveballs and catch the hole area. They have a softer feel but don't fly as far as long-distance balls. The less expensive models of this type of ball have a certain durability. Their spherical shells are generally made of Surlyn or Surlyn mixed materials, they are mostly double-layer rather than triple-layered, and they are solid.

The second type is the long-range ball, which consists of a harder, more durable spherical shell and a solid spherical core. Most of them are double-layered. The inside of the long-range ball is a hard synthetic material, and the combined hardness of the core of the ball shell allows the ball to fly longer distances and is very durable. But these balls will not spin very much. In some cases, lower spin means less ball control and ball stability, and these balls feel stiffer than those with wrapping structures.

However, both of these balls are special balls, and the average player will definitely not use them, and I only have long-range balls here, so you can come and give them a try. ”

Harvey said as he pulled out an ordinary-looking golf ball from his bag.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the so-called long-distance ball, in general, is no different from the double-layer ball, the double-layer ball is prepared for long-distance, but "long-distance seeking", in terms of "long-distance", it is better than the general double-layer seeking. But in the same way, the difficulty of control is relatively high, and ordinary people can't control it at all, and it has to be those very famous and experienced players to do it.

"In addition to the classification according to the structure and performance, we also have three grades according to the hardness of the balls.

The first grade is a ball with a hardness of 90-105. Golf balls have different hardnesses, and the higher the number, the harder the ball, and the hardness of the ball is selected based on the swing power of the batsman and the swing technique. Generally speaking, the best professional golfers choose the ball with a hardness of 90-105, and most players use a hardness of 105, which is a super hard ball, a 100-hard ball and a 95-medium hard ball.

The second level is the ball with a hardness of 80-90, and the average level of young and middle-aged players can choose to use the ball in this range, which is easier to hit the ball they need. Since the hardness of the ball is directly proportional to the distance, it is not easy for players to grasp the directionality of the ball that is too hard, because the hardness is high, and the time for the club head to contact the ball becomes shorter, and it is easy to hit the ball off. Unless you have specialized intensive training and are interested in becoming a professional player, or who are willing to work hard in the direction of a professional player, you can try a harder ball.

If you are an ordinary person, you can play better, and you basically play in the second interval.

The last zone, or grade, is a ball with a hardness of 70.

This is a ball that is suitable for beginners and high handicap players. In fact, there is no strict limit to the hardness of the ball, and players can choose based on their age, physical strength, technical condition and purpose. There is no difference in moderation between the same brand and different hardness, but the feeling of hitting the ball is different. But this kind of ball is the easiest to control, Mr. Zhou, you have just started to learn to play golf, remember not to try too hard balls immediately, let's take our time, start with the simple first, and wait until you can control this level of ball well, you can try to climb to a higher level.

And to be honest, I'm not a professional athlete myself, and what I'm talking to you is basically reading to you against a book, so if you really want to learn, I suggest that you hire a professional coach and let the coach guide you to learn. And the club should also need a coach, this question, you should make a decision as soon as possible. ”

Harvey said slowly.

Zhou Fangyuan nodded when he heard this.

Of course, he understands this truth, and professional golf coaches have actually begun to look for them, but they are still being screened. And he is not in a hurry, anyway, the construction of the club will take a quarter to half a year, or even longer, so he is not aware of it.

Next, Harvey explained more about the rules to Zhou Fangyuan, but it was still the same sentence, this knowledge belongs to the kind of content that needs to be exposed for a long time and then get familiar with it a little bit. Otherwise, you can't remember it just by listening to it a hundred times, and now Harvey is just saying this, and at the same time, it is also his duty, what is his duty? Is it just the design of the club? No, no, no, if it is just that, it is too simple. Harvey also has a purpose, which is to have a good relationship with Zhou Fangyuan and try his best to win over this man who may become a long-term customer.

Don't look at it as just a club now, but Harvey's company has already conducted a relatively in-depth investigation of Zhou Fangyuan, and also knows that this person has a large amount of business in Huaxia and Miguo. This kind of person, no matter what country he is in, is a proper super-rich person, and if he doesn't have a dozen villas under his name, he is embarrassed to go out. And what is a villa, at Zhou Fangyuan's level, there are too many industries that need to be designed and decorated. Companies, hotels, residences...... Let's put it this way, such a customer can support a large design company every year with his own list alone.

Therefore, any design company with some ambitions, such as customers like Zhou Fangyuan, will never let go, and it is completely acceptable to have a good relationship no matter what, and even pay some price for it.

For example, some PR or something......

Harvey is just the first attempt this time, while solving the design plan this time, on the other hand, it is also a deeper understanding of Zhou Fangyuan, as long as the understanding is in place, there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.

The gossip is far away......

In short, the two talked about the design of the clubhouse, talked about golf, and unconsciously, talked about those celebrities related to golf.

Among them, Zhou Fangyuan is most familiar with Tiger Woods, who may also be the most well-known internationally renowned golfer known to the general public, the man nicknamed "Tiger".

Indeed, he is arguably one of the most successful golfers of all time. ”

Harvey agreed.

Tiger Woods is also internationally famous, and there are countless people who like him.

When he was young, the family financial environment was quite good, because his father loved sports and often played golf, which indirectly affected Woods. So after letting Woods Jr. swing and discover his talent in the sport, Woods' father was determined to train Woods to be a good golfer.

Woods showed exceptional talent as a child, hitting a nine-hole 48 at the age of three, appearing in Golf Digest magazine at the age of five, becoming the youngest amateur champion in the United States at the age of 18, and then winning the tournament three times in 1994, 1995 and 1996.

With such an achievement, I dare not say that there is no one who will come after, but it is not bad to say that there is no one before.

Tiger Woods began his ambitious career in the summer of 1996.

He is still very proud of what he achieved in 1996.

He turned professional at the 1996 Milwaukee Open, finishing 60th. He won two of the eight races he went on and three times he finished in the top 10. At the Michelin Las Vegas Championship, Tiger Woods won his first PGA Tour title on October 6, 1996, beating Ralph III in a playoff.

Tiger Woods then won the Disney Funai Classic. The following week is the Tour Championship, where Tiger Woods is already in the top 30 on the money list, and he has qualified for the tournament.

Tiger finished 21st in the tournament and 25th on the money list, the second-highest amount of money ever earned by a rookie in his first year on the PGA Tour. David Duvall ranked first in 1995 with $881436 as a rookie, but that year David Duvall had 26 appearances. And in terms of the average income of the two, it is not the same at all - Tiger Woods is 2.9 times that of David Duvall.

Next, little Tiger was out of control.

At just 21 years old, he dominated the Masters by a record 12 strokes, becoming Augsta's youngest champion. His winning result, a 270 at 18-under par, was also a new record. With four wins and nine top-10 finishes, he ended up ranking No. 1 in the world that year and was voted the 1997 PGA Tour Player of the Year.

Tiger Woods' maturity period began in '99 and lasted until '04, a total of five years.

At the end of 1999, he won nine of 13 tournaments, including a major tournament, and earned $7.6 million. He won five of his last six PGA Tour events that year, and his final four victories made him the first player to achieve this feat since Hogan won four consecutive tournament victories on tour in 1953. And his eight PGA Tour titles made him the most decorated player since Miller in 1974. At the end of 1999, he was ranked No. 1 in the world and topped the PGA Tour money list with $6616585 in 21 events.

In 2000, Tiger Woods won the American Open, British Open, PGA Championship, Grand Slam Golf, Canadian Open, Mercedes Championship, AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, Hill Bay Invitational, Memorial Tour, and NEC Invitational. In 01, he won the Masters of the United States, World Challenge, NEC Invitational, Memorial Tour, Deutsche Bank-SAP European Open, Players Championship, Hill Bay Invitational, Johnnie Hoga Classic. In 02, he won the United States Open, the United States Masters, the Grand Slam Golf Tournament, the United States Express Championship, the Buick Open, the Deutsche Bank-SAP European Open, and the Hill Bay Invitational Championship. In '03, he won the National Express Championship, Western Open, Hill Bay Invitational, Buick Invitational, and Esenthulle Match Play Championship.

Until '04, he won the Escentul Match Play Championship.

In the past five years, the original youth has receded, and Tiger Woods has almost dominated the global golf world as an emperor.

It took less than three years for Woods to go from being the first black professional golfer in history to become the world's No. 1 golf player, and he became the youngest player to achieve a golf Grand Slam in the shortest amount of time. In his eight-and-a-half-year career, Woods has won 42 PGA Tour titles, and at one point he forced opponents like Mickelson to "see a psychiatrist to overcome fear" before playing him.

His influence was huge, and in 01 he landed in China for the first time to participate in the Pengcheng Mission Hills Invitational Tournament, according to the "Sanlian Life" report at the time, 10,000 high fans driving BMW Mercedes-Benz went to the scene to watch the style of "Tiger", while the high fans of the entire continent at that time were less than 1 million. Despite the cost, Mission Hills Golf Club tripled its revenue in the following year, becoming the largest golf club in Asia. Another statistic that illustrates Woods' influence comes from the New York Times, where Woods' championship matchup with Mickelson at the Ford Championship generated 5.9 percent of viewership in North America, and NBC's live broadcast even surpassed NBC's simultaneous NBA broadcast ratings. Because of Woods' presence, Golf beat the NBA for the first time.

He is also the most expensive superstar, and before he got married, Woods owned at least two world No. 1 rankings: No. 1 in the world in professional golf for 334 consecutive weeks, and No. 1 diamond king in the world.

Of course, while enjoying the aura, he inevitably caused some commotion.

One of the most famous is the theft case.

The case is not complicated, but around 09, Woods drove his Cadillac SUV off the highway and crashed into a large tree and a fire hose. Surprisingly, however, the airbags on Woods were not deployed at the time of the crash, meaning he should have been under 53 km/h at the time. A few days before the car accident, he was bombarded by the media on suspicion of "stealing fish", and some people speculated that the car accident might be related to the "stealing the door". And at a speed of 53 kilometers per hour, he still crashed into the car...... What happened in the car at that time can't help but make people think a little.

And at the end of the day, Woods was out of luck. If it had happened at another time, or if something like this had happened to someone else, maybe it wouldn't have been so exciting. But it was him, but it was in that era when the economy of the United States began to languish and decline.

In the 09 years of the previous life, the economy of Midi began to decline, and social contradictions began to intensify. Woods's theft case was nothing, but because the timing was wrong, the depression caused by the economic downturn mixed with the complex hatred of the rich finally found a typical outlet: as the first athlete worth more than a billion dollars, Woods became the object of relief and entertainment. From this point of view, the tiger has solved the "trap" for Ao Guanhai, and this case has not only alleviated the people's grievances, but also stimulated the economic recovery to a certain extent.

But in any case, as the most successful athlete, Woods' identity, status and income are a good illustration of the importance of golf in the upper circles.

If Zhou Fangyuan, or anyone who wants to join this circle, a strong golf skill may also play a big role.
