  Chapter 589 Relaxed Golf

  Hearing that the two bigwigs of the "Volkswagen Group" agreed with Zhao Guoyang's statement, Jin Xiuzhu felt that her thinking was a little confused.

   "Could it be that this guy Guoyang's ability really moved even the 'Popular Group'? Uh, it looks like it's pretty much the same..."

   After looking at the "partner" beside her for a while, the young lady finally reluctantly accepted the fact in front of her.

  Davis's work efficiency is very high, and the referees, ball boys and other staff of the game will be organized in a short time.

   St. John's Golf Course is very well-known locally in Prague.

  Basically, the income of referees, caddies and other staff in it is higher than that of ordinary white-collar workers.

  Usually, there are four to six referees on standby in the stadium. As for the caddies, the number is more.

  Because I know that the two sides are just a friendly match between friends, and I don’t want to tell the winner or loser.

   Therefore, after consulting Jin Xiuzhu and Thomas, Davis only invited two referees, plus four caddies.

  Of course, Davis himself must be accompanied throughout the journey.

   After all, whether it is the big bosses of the "Volkswagen Group" or the young lady of the "Daewoo Group", they are all rare and distinguished guests.

  As the manager of St. John's Golf Course, if Davis doesn't even know how to maintain such a relationship, he won't be able to sit in this position.

  After Davis gave a detailed explanation, everyone learned that the schedule of the game is still in accordance with the normal 18 holes, and there is no reduction due to the nature of the friendly match.

   In fact, this decision was made because Davis wanted to spend more time with the bosses of the two major companies.

  In his opinion, no matter whether it is Vice President Thomas and Minister Yang Sen of the "Volkswagen Group", or Miss Jin of the "Daewoo Group", they don't care too much about the game time.

   Fifteen holes are also played, and eighteen holes are also played. It makes no difference to them.

  But for Davis and St. John's Golf Course, if the bigwigs of the "Volkswagen Group" and "Daewoo Group" can stay for a while longer, the reputation of their own golf course may increase.

  This kind of intangible added value is what Davis attaches great importance to.

  As for the venue fees and service fees given by the CEOs of the companies on both sides, Davis doesn't care much.

  Surrounded by the staff of St. John's Golf Course, Zhao Guoyang, Jin Xiuzhu, and three big bosses from the "Popular Group" came to the first hole together.

  After some humility, Thomas and Yang Sen naturally carried forward their style and gave priority to women.

   Encouraged by Zhao Guoyang, Jin Xiuzhu nodded slightly to him, picked up the club, and walked to the hitting place.

  Seeing how Jin Xiuzhu picked up the wooden pole and waved it seriously to find the feeling, Zhao Guoyang just smiled.

  He could tell that the girl Jin Xiuzhu just said that she didn't care about winning or losing, but now she really meant it.

  In fact, in Zhao Guoyang's view, there is no need to care about winning or losing in today's friendly golf match.

  Speaking of which, being able to compete with these three bigwigs of the "Volkswagen Group" and win a chance to communicate is already very good.

   What I have to do next is to find an appropriate opportunity to mention the public bidding of "Skoda Automobile Company" two days later, and talk about the tone of "Volkswagen Group".

  Of course, if possible, Zhao Guoyang still hopes to persuade Thomas, Yang Sen, and Jeffries in a tactful way.

   At the very least, let them not target themselves and the "Huaxia Automobile Group Corporation" too much in the "public bidding" the day after tomorrow.

   While Zhao Guoyang was thinking secretly, the three bigwigs from the "Dazhong Group" were also observing him.

  Noticing that Zhao Guoyang was carefully observing Jin Xiuzhu's movement of swinging the pole, Thomas laughed and said, "Researcher Zhao, it seems that Miss Jin forcibly pulled you here, right?"

   "Normal! It's like Jeffries, he hasn't played golf much before, and he was pulled here by me and Yang Sen..."

  Jeffries shrugged his shoulders when he heard the words, showing a helpless expression and said, "Your President Thomas has given an order, so I dare not obey."

   When he turned his head to look at Zhao Guoyang, Jeffries said with a smile on his face: "Researcher Zhao, we are both newbies, so I will help you."

   "By the way, let me share with you the 'golf' rules President Thomas taught me these two days..."

  After hearing what Jeffries said, Zhao Guoyang felt happy in his heart.

   To say that Chairman Jeffries is really kind.

  This guy thought he didn't know anything about the rules of "golf", so he was going to make a point to make himself less embarrassed.

   It would be fine if Zhao Guoyang really didn't know anything about "golf".

  The key is that he really knows a lot about the project of "golf".

  Before rebirth, he also participated in the National Golf Amateur League and won the ranking.

  If this is hidden, the fight will be too good later, but it will easily be misunderstood by the three big bosses of the "Popular Group".

  Because of his understanding of the "Germanic" nation, Zhao Guoyang knew that it is best to be honest when dealing with people of this nation.

  Thinking about this, Zhao Guoyang smiled and said: "Mr. Jeffries, I played 'golf' when I was in school. Although it is a bit unfamiliar, I still know the basic rules..."

   "Ah, so it is!"

  Jeffries touched the back of his head in relief when he heard the words, curled his lips and said, "Hehe, it looks like I'm the only 'rookie' here!"

   While Jeffries was laughing at himself, Yang Sen tilted his head and looked at Zhao Guoyang.

"Researcher Zhao, I didn't expect you to know so much about 'golf'. But, as far as I know, the Garden Golf Course in SJ City in your country just started construction last year, right? Where did you study before? "

  Yang Sen's words are naturally not to question Zhao Guoyang's meaning, but as a technical person, he has an instinct to ask the bottom line.

  After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang smiled and waved his hands and said, "Mr. Yang Sen, I have never studied formally, but I have played once or twice at Pengcheng Zhongshan Hot Spring Golf and Country Club..."

  After Zhao Guoyang said this, both Yang Sen and Thomas were relieved.

  Pengcheng Zhongshan Hot Spring Golf and Country Club is the first official "golf course" in China, and has always had a great reputation.

  Yang Sen and Thomas have been to China more than once, so naturally they have heard of the name of this stadium.

   While Zhao Guoyang was joking with the three bigwigs from the "Popular Group", Jin Xiuzhu was about to swing her first shot.

  In golf, clubs are subdivided into four categories, namely: woods, hybrids, irons, and putters.

  Among them, the pole that Jin Xiuzhu is waving at this time is a wooden pole.

  Wood, the longest club in a golfer's bag, has a bulbous head and is mainly used for tee shots.

  If you can hit a long ball on the first shot, you will undoubtedly take the first decisive step to finish a hole with as few strokes as possible.

   Therefore, the role of the wood is to gain distance. In order to increase the speed of the club head when hitting the ball, the arc of the swing should be increased as much as possible to increase the impact volume.

   Irons are divided into long, medium and short. Long irons usually refer to No. 3 and No. 4, 5, 6, and 7 are medium irons, and short irons are 8, 9, and 10.

  Hydrowood clubs are clubs between irons and woods, called hybrid clubs, also known as hybrid clubs

  As for the putter, it is easier to understand, and it is also the kind of pole that laymen know the most.

  It is generally a kind of rod used when the ball finally enters the hole.

  As a former amateur golf player, Zhao Guoyang's use of each club is still very good.

  Especially the tee-off wood, he has a lot of experience.

  At this time, seeing Jin Xiuzhu's posture holding the club, as well as her exertion in various positions such as the shaft, club head, and grip, Zhao Guoyang knew that Miss Jin's level was really average.

   You must know that different configurations of the club on the shaft, head, and grip will produce different hitting effects.

   This is not just a simple difference in the angle of the club head, shaft hardness and weight, but also requires the player to have an accurate judgment on the terrain, wind direction and distance.

   Obviously, what Miss Jin has done in this regard is undoubtedly not enough.

On the other side, Thomas obviously noticed something, so he turned his head to Zhao Guoyang with a smile and said, "Researcher Zhao, Miss Jin is the only woman among the four of us. I want to watch you more during the competition later." played out..."

  Although this boss spoke in a vague way, the meaning behind his words is still very clear. He just said that Jin Xiuzhu's level is not very good, so Zhao Guoyang needs to be mentally prepared.

  After hearing the boss' reminder, Zhao Guoyang just smiled, but didn't say much.

   In fact, for him, this "golf game" is just a recreational activity.

  I have been under a lot of pressure during this time, and Zhao Guoyang feels that today's "golf match" is really timely.

   Soon, Jin Xiuzhu's first shot has been swung.

   Not surprisingly, the young lady failed to enter the "green" with her first shot.

   When leaving the hitting point and returning to Zhao Guoyang and the others, Jin Xiuzhu's face was full of depression.

  Speaking of which, although her golf level is not very high, it is still rare for her to fail to hit the "green" on this first "par three hole".

  St. John's Golf Course is a standard course with 18 holes. It is distributed according to 4 par-3 holes (below 250 yards), 10 par-4 holes (251-470 yards); 4 par-5 holes (above 471 yards), and the par is just 72.

  With Jin Xiuzhu's level, after 18 holes, even if it is over par, it will not be too much, and it will be about ninety at most.

  But according to today's opening situation, I am afraid that after playing 18 holes, it will take more than 100 strokes.

  This result, even a novice playing "golf" for the first time, as long as he has the guidance of a professional, he still has a chance to achieve it.

   Thinking of how much she failed to win against Zhao Guoyang in the "advantageous project", Jin Xiuzhu felt a little depressed.
