Chapter 235: Good Wine Needs No Bush, and Even an Iron Rod Can Be Sharpened Into a Needle

Li Xiaofan laughed to himself after receiving the call. The caller was Luo Zhiwei, manager of the IT testing division of the Singapore company of Teradyne Technology, an American company that ranks second only to Hewlett-Packard among global IT testing equipment system vendors. HP and Teradyne are the two giants of global IT testing equipment manufacturers, and they occupy more than 100% of the global market share.

Last time Li Xiaofan took the initiative to visit the Singapore Teradyne Company in the Singapore Science Park, Luo Zhiwei ignored him. Today he actually called him, which made Li Xiaofan a little curious.

"Hi, Manager Luo, what are your orders?"

Luo Zhiwei's tone on the phone was very polite, "Director Li, yesterday I went to Flextronics and saw the test fixtures your company made for HP. I thought the quality was very good. Engineers from the IT testing department of Flextronics were also telling me I recommend your company. I’m calling you today to ask if you are free and I can come and visit you.”

It turns out that this is what happened. Li Xiaofan couldn't help but think of the old Chinese saying that the fragrance of wine does not fear the depth of the alley. Sure enough, I waited until you took the initiative to come to the door!

"Manager Luo, how about this afternoon? Our company has an R&D office in the Singapore Science Park. If not, just come to my new office to meet us. It's convenient for you to come over."

Luo Zhiwei asked curiously, "Director Li, when did you establish an office in the Singapore Science Park where we are located? The last time I saw your name and address was at the OUB Center at Raffles Place..."

"Haha, it has just been renovated and moved in soon. Manager Luo is welcome to come and give us guidance!"

"Great, it will be very convenient for our two families to communicate in the future!"

Since last week, Li Xiaofan has been able to tee off with a fairway wood. He received praise from Brother Hua and his golf skills have improved rapidly.

Generally, for a beginner golfer to be dismissed, he must meet at least three conditions:

The first is to ensure the advancement of the fairway. If you can hit the ball with the seven-iron, you can ensure the advancement of the fairway. This is a necessary condition for the end of the game.

The second is to learn how to handle the short game. Players who have just come off the golf course will encounter many short-game situations near the green, so short-game handling is a necessary skill. Basic short chipping can be practiced on simulated greens or simulators to establish basic concepts and patterns, and then you can make corrections after practice.

The third is to learn to use the putter. Putting is relatively simple. As long as you know how to set the posture of the putter and can generally control the force, you basically know how to use the putter. After a simple training before leaving the court, students can start putting in a daze. But the precision and accuracy of this putter requires a lot of training to create that light-weight feel.

Previously, except for teeing off, Li Xiaofan's short game handling and putting skills were only passable under the guidance of Mr. Tang and Ye Niya at Ye Niya's mansion.

When he first started receiving coaching and training from Brother Hua, Li Xiaofan's weakest point was kicking off the ball.

However, under the guidance of Brother Hua, Li Xiaofan was able to use the No. 7 iron in a very standard posture after one week to hit the ball beyond the yard. In the second week, he reached the longest distance of the yard, and his results were basically stable.

At the beginning of the month, Brother Hua began to teach Li Xiaofan how to hit the ball with a fairway wood.

"Afan, this fairway wood can be called a multi-purpose club. The fairway wood requires both distance and accuracy. It is mainly used on the fairway, hence the name. Using the fairway wood skillfully can not only help When you hit the ball long distance on the court, you have It can also help you hit the ball out of the obstacle area, or win the hole with par or even par in two strokes, creating opportunities for yourself to catch an eagle. If you can master the skills of using woods on the fairway, your golf scores will be improved. It can easily increase by 10%!”

Then he guided Li Xiaofan to adjust his stance and ball position, practice sweeping movements, relaxing swing movements, using the club face angle, and hitting the ball in the rough...

Starting at seven o'clock this morning, after Ye Niya arrived, Brother Hua asked Li Xiaofan and Ye Niya to come off the court and play the whole game.

At half past one, all the holes were played, and the final score was Li Xiaofan's score and Ye Niya's score. Li Xiaofan actually beat Ye Niya.

On the green of the first hole, Ye Niya sighed, "Brother Hua, it's really different under your professional guidance. When Affan came to my house to play before, I corrected some of his non-standard putting postures." . Now, I didn’t expect that the level is far beyond me!”

Brother Hua smiled and said, "Yeniya, in addition to talent, there is another more important condition for golfing, which is hard work. Afan himself has quite good talent and a high level of comprehension. Recently, Afan practices and trains intensively almost every day, so it’s not surprising that his results are better than yours! According to my intuition, in a month or two, Afan’s results may be within the bar... "

Li Xiaofan said happily, "Wow, Brother Hua, is it really possible? People say that anyone who breaks through can be called a master!"

Brother Hua smiled and said, "Afan, a person's golf level is determined by two factors that are related to each other but may be completely different. The first is your ability to swing and hit the ball. The other is your ability to score. , through your planning, observation, evaluation, and use of reasonable tactics and strategies on the course to minimize your score, this is a tactical and strategic thinking..."

After taking a few sips of the mineral water in his hand, he continued to say to Li Xiaofan, "If you have a stable swing and can continuously hit the ball straight and far, for a diligent person like you, a breakthrough stick is completely acceptable." It is said that it is just around the corner, but it is not that easy to do. You need to continue to practice under the correct guidance. Practice and experience. If your current score can be stable between - strokes, it means that you already have a certain swing foundation. I just observed that you, like Ye Niya, do not need to improve significantly. Depending on your swing skills and using the second factor above, it’s entirely possible for both of you to break through!”

After hearing this, Ye Niya said happily, "Brother Hua, is this true?"

Brother Hua smiled and said, "It's absolutely true. If there are no accidents, you two can break through the bar this year! Starting tomorrow morning, I will start to train you on your tactical thinking after the game, how to strengthen your scoring ability in actual combat. You just left the field During this period, we did not issue a single instruction, but we recorded all the wrong tactical moves of both of you. Come on, let’s go to the club now, and I will review it for you and let you know where your mistakes are..."

"That's great, Brother Hua, I love you!"

In the cafe of Tanah Merah Country Club, while Brother Hua was reviewing the game between Li Xiaofan and Ye Niya, Li Xiaofan's cell phone rang.

After it was connected, it was another surprise.
