Hello everyone, the Asian, OneAsia and Japan tours are now well underway for 2011 seasons. Like last year I'll try to be keep updated with this for you. :)

Asian Tour so far:

Avantha Masters (European Tour), India - WINNER: SSP Chowrasia (Ind). $2,300,000.

SAIL OPEN, India - WINNER: Kiradech Aphibarnrat (Tha). $300,000.

Panasonic Open, India - WINNER: Anirban Lahiri (Ind). $300,000.

Maybank Malaysian Open (European Tour), Malaysia - WINNER: Matteo Manassero (Ita). $2,500,000.

This week:

Indonesian Masters, Royal Jakarta Golf Club, Indonesia.

$750,000

Reigning Champion: None.

Field Includes: Lee Westwood (Eng), Prayad Marksaeng (Tha), Siddikur (Ban), Thongchai Jaidee (Tha), Kiradech Aphibarnrat (Tha), Mardan Mamat (Sgp), Jason Knutzon (USA),

Bit of silly tournament - Westwood is ridiculously too strong for the fields of players. 5 shots clear after 3 rounds, was 7 clear at one point today. Being paid big appearance fee, so is playing, but no one else really has a chance! His nearest competitior are Thitiphun Chuayprakong and Hyun-bin Park on 11 under par.

OneAsia Tour so far:

Indonesia PGA Championship, Indonesia - WINNER: Andre Stolz (Aus). $1,000,000.

This week:

Volvo China Open (European Tour), Luxehills International Country Club, China.

$3,600,000

Reigning Champion: YE Yang

Field Includes: Peter Lawrie (Ire), Jeev Milkha Singh (Ind), Pablo Martin (Spa), Rafael Cabrera-Bello (Spa), Sergio Garcia (Spa), Liang Wen-Chong (Chn), Todd Hamilton (USA), Tetsuji Hiratsuka (Jpn), Simon Dyson (Eng), Alejandro Canizares (Spa), YE Yang (Kor), Rhys Davies (Wal), Seung-yul Noh (Kor), SSP Chowrasia (Ind), Anthony Kang (USA), Rikard Karlberg (Swe), Padraig Harrington (Ire),

Yang & Harrington were favourite but both have missed the cut, surprisingly. Head into round 4, Nicholas Colsaerts of Belgium leads on -18, with Chang-won Han on -17, and both Peterl Lawrie and Gregory Havret on -16.

Japan Golf Tour so far:

Token Homemate Cup, Mie - WINNER: Tadahiro Takayama. $1,500,000.

This week:

Tsuruya Open, Yamanohara Golf Club, Hyogo.

$1,400,000

Reigning Champion: Hiroyuki Fujita

Field Includes: Koumei Oda, Sang-moon Bae, Michio Matsumura, Kenichi Kuboya, Ryo Ishikawa, Toru Taniguchi, Kyung-tae Kim (Kor), Hiroyuki Fujita, Brendan Jones (Aus), Do-hoon Kim (Kor), Daisuke Maruyama, Tadahiro Takayama, Shingo Katayama, Shunsuke Sonoda, Yuta Ikeda, Shigeki Maruyama.

Obviously after the devastating Earthquake, tsunami and Nucleur disaster it is hard for us to concentrate on sport in the country, but most sport, be it baseball, soccer, golf or whatever, is contiuing dispite the dsiasters. THis shows how resolute and calm Japan is and how the country is working together, and top pro's in all sports are trying to bring normality and bring the country together, cheer people up etc. Even still, it is difficult to even think about golf, especially when purses like this, almost 2 million dollars are being played for, when mos tpeople in Japan have nothing left.

Quite a few of the golfers have though however, said they will donate load sof money to people of Japan damaged by the disasterss. Ryo Ishikawa I sure you heard of, is donating ALL of his 2011 eanring, plus extra for every birdie he makes, to the disaster.

Tomohiro Kondo leads on 1 4unde rpa,r heads to round 4 being 3 shot clear from Azuma Yano, Koumei Oda, Takashi Kanemoto and Jung-gon Hwang. Ishikaw ais 6 back from elader, tied for 13th on -8.

Don't forget my buddy John Huh on the Korean Tour! Oh, and you've got a new name to watch on the Asian Tour too, Berry Henson. He's a rookie to the tour this year, and has made 2 of 3 cuts so far.

Let hope he can keep his form up and may get some exemptions into the some main Asian Tour events later in the season!

Also, I noticed John Huh has been playing bigger events recently, on the OneAsia, and I think even a European Tour event I spotted him on last week (CHina Open i think) so he's doing well!

Sorry for not updating, this week, as you all know Lee Westwood won again in Asia again, second week in a row, at the Ballantine's, a Asian Tour/European Tour event.

In Japan, though, it was Australian Brendan Jones who won The Crowns, a prestigious event on the Japan Golf Tour. He only managed a level par round on day 4 but that was enough, to earn a playoff with IJ  Jang of Korea. Jones won in the playoff, for his 10th win in Japan.

Shingo Katayama continues his good 2011 form with a good final round of 66 (-4) to finish in a tie for 3rd, on -8 in total, along with Koichiro Kawano and Park Sung-Joon from korea. Yuta Ikeda was next in 6th, on -7, while Ryo Ishikawa tied for 12th on -3.

Early in season, but the current Japan Money List is:

Brendan Jones, AUS 31.3Million yen

Tadahiro Takayama 29.7Million yen

Tomohiro Kondo 25.3Million yen

Ryo Ishikawa 20.7Million yen

Shingo Katayama 19.6Million yen

2 week break now until next Japan event - which is the Japan PGA Championship, traditionally one of the Japanes e'majors', but Ryo Ishikawa and Kyung-tae Kim have both otped to play in the Player son PGA Tour instead

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
