DISTANCE AND SPIN CLAIMS BASED UPON INTERNAL FLIGHT TESTING PERFORMED AT WILSON’S RESEARCH TEST FACILITY IN HUMBOLDT, TN ON 5/20/17. (90 MPH DRIVER TEST) 218 ISSUE NOVEMBER 2018 Greg Norman who is an old Asia-hand is very bullish about the future of golf in Asia and his assessment of the region is based on solid facts combined with his stepped up busi- ness activity on the Continent. Generally speaking, he is bullish about golf, PERIOD! It is most encouraging to hear a golf great and arguably one of the most respected entrepre- neurs in sports speak about golf with such optimism. It comes as a breath of fresh air after 16 years of the industry languishing in a state of laggardness. Read his full interview inside. Q EQUIPMENT FOCUS 12 POWER FOR THE FEET! Adidas giant has announced a change to the adipower range which essentially incorpo- rates a new forging process as part of the design. This feature is intended to provide extra stability for golfers throughout the swing. 40 A POUND FOR POUND CHAMP! Tour Edge has always been a little guy amongst the heavyweights in the club equip- ment sector of the golf industry. However, it 12 now proudly claims that its new EXS driver has no match – the marketing tagline says it all – “Pound for Pound, Nothing Else Comes Close!” Quite a bombastic boast from a small company! 46 WILSON UPS THE ANTE WITH A NEW BALL! The new Wilson Staff DUO Professional golf ball has been designed to take tour- level performance with great feel to new heights and it is expected to further advance the ongoing success of the famous DUO line. Q SPECIAL FEATURE 28 ASIA’S COMMUNITY OF EXCELLENCE GROWS! 58 The cream has risen to the top and the moment has almost arrived when the most popular golf clubs in the Asia Pacifi c will be unveiled at the glitzy 2018 Asian Golf Awards during the staging of the 2018 Asia Pacifi c Golf Summit at the brand new fi ve-star Hyatt Regency Bangkok Sukhumvit in Thailand on November 3. 50 THE GOLD STANDARD IN GOLFING EXPERIENCES With over 30,000 golf courses in the world, it cannot be said that golfers are not spoilt for choice when it comes to deciding where to play a round of golf. Although there are many to choose from, it always helps if there is a way to make a good decision and pick the right course to play at. Given this scenario, ASIAN GOLF has partnered with IMG which designs, operates and 66 manages quality golf courses in Asia and elsewhere. 58 HOME TO AN AWARD-WINNING GOLF COURSE Central to a show-piece development called KN Paradise in Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam, it will feature a massive integrated resort venture that will include an array of upscale villas for sale, a gaming complex, a private beach club and an awarding winning golf course – the KN Golf Links Cam Ranh. 66 ASIAN AMATEURS ROCK AT APAC 2018! The 10th Asia Pacifi c Amateur Championship (APAC) was held at the award- winning Sentosa Golf Club in October and it was a huge success. What was especially signifi cant about the championship this time around was the qual- ity of play displayed by Asian players and the way they dominated the tourna- 72 ment. Unlike the early years of the tournament where players from Australia and New Zealand dominated, this was not the case this year. 72 A NIGHTMARE TO BE FORGOTTEN! Against a bellicose setting of shouts of allez, allez, allez, Team Europe rolled to a clear 17.5 -10.5 victory after entering the fi nal round leading 10-6. The win saw Team Europe take back the trophy after losing it two years ago and kept the U.S. from winning on European soil for the fi rst time since 1993. 78 KOREA STAMPS ITS SUPERIORITY IN WOMEN’S GOLF! It gained this prestigious honour when Team Korea outplayed seven other teams representing the United States, England, Sweden, Australia, Thailand, 78 Japan and Taiwan to emerge as the winner of the UL International Crown which was played in Incheon, Korea in October. 82 THE COOL DUDE IS THE TOP DOG! Brooks Koepka has earned the 2018 PGA TOUR Player of the Year award, as voted on by the TOUR’s membership for the 2017-18 season. It could not have been given to a more deserving guy! 86 BATTLE ROYALE LOOMS DOWN UNDER! Team competitions often bring out the best from athletes, especially when they proudly adorn their national colours to represent their countries. Such a privilege can evoke an overfl ow of passion, competitive spirit and pride that subsequently create a wonderful theatre for sports fans to enjoy and 86 celebrate.

The initial impetus for the ICFME was oriented towards the testing and calibration of a newly developed physical model for predicting the spread rate and flame front intensity of crown fires. However, the ICFME has also provided the opportunity to examine other aspects or implications of crown fire behavior, without comprising this primary objective, including linkages to firefighter safety/personal protective equipment (PPE) and wildland-urban interface or intermix issues as well as certain ecological and environmental impacts or effects, including concerns about atmospheric chemistry from biomass burning.

  • Smbc Singapore Open Wins Top Award It Is the Best Tournament for 2017, While Sentosa’S Serapong Claims Best Course Honours
    BY GODFREY ROBERT SMBC SINGAPORE OPEN WINS TOP AWARD IT IS THE BEST TOURNAMENT FOR 2017, WHILE SENTOSA’S SERAPONG CLAIMS BEST COURSE HONOURS he SMBC Singapore Open beat 27 other Asian Tour events to be voted the Best Tournament of the Year 2017. The Singapore event came out tops in a voting exercise by more than 300 golfers who play in Asia, Europe, Africa and Australia. Although the prize-money for the event had dropped from a high of US$7 million to US$1 million, the Singapore Open, Tinaugurated in 1961, is a very popular tournament even among the world’s best players. Previous winners of the award include Ho Tram Cham- pionship in Vietnam and the Thailand Golf Championship in Thailand. Golfers such as Jordan Spieth, Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott, Angel Cabrera and Sergio Garcia have graced the Sin- gapore Open which has made Sentosa Golf Club’s world- acclaimed Serapong course its home since 2005. So it came as no surprise that at the Asian Tour’s annu- al awards gala night at the Royal Jakarta Golf Club on Dec 17, the Serapong layout was named the Best Course of the Year for 2017. Promoters Lagardere Sports’ vice president (Golf Asia) Patrick Feizal Joyce said: “Winning the tournament of the year on the Asian Tour is a terrific accolade and one we are extremely proud of.
