Khoo keen on improving his skills

What say you on the issue below?

INTERNATIONAL Wilson Khoo always strives to excel in golf and works on improving his skills and techniques.

The youngster, who is aspiring to join the pro ranks early next year, was present at the Bridgestone Tour demonstration programme at the Kompleks Sukan Negara (KSN) Driving Range in Bukit Jalil recently.

The golf demonstration session was an initiative by Ossia World of Golf, the distributors of Bridgestone Tour brand in Malaysia, and Ken Grande Golf Academy to provide a platform for the public to test new models as well as evaluate their swings.

conThis is how we do it: Kumar (seated) explaining the monitor’s accessment of Khoo’s swing.

A monitor was set up to give the participants the chance to gauge their swings. Ossia World of Golf sales manager M. Kumar was present to brief the participants on the right shafts.

“The monitor will be able to determine a golfer’s swing speed, launch angle, side spin and back spin. These details will enable us to calculate the distance and also recommend the correct shafts.

“Wilson took the opportunity to attend the demonstration session and decide whether he was using the correct drivers,’’ said Kumar.

Ken Grande Golf Academy principal Kenneth Khong also conducted a coaching clinic for juniors.

“We had about 30 kids. We provided them the chance to learn the basics. We were also encouraged by the presence of parents,’’ said Khong.
