March 12th, 2008:

Wow. That off-season went by quickly. But so much has changed in Zhou’s life since the 2007 China Tour campaign came to an end in October. He got married in November (we hope to post more photos soon). He and wife Liu Yan are expecting a child (a boy!) in April. And they now own a brand new apartment in Chongqing (so brand new, in fact, that there’s no hot water and the painting is not complete). It will be interesting to see if Zhou can keep his mind on golf.

We will find out soon enough. The 2008 China Tour season opener begins Thursday at Dragon Lake Golf Club in Guangzhou. Zhou tees of at 8:40 am and is paired with 吕文旭 (LV Wenxu), of Anhui Prrovince, and 许孟男 (Hsu Mongnan), of Taiwan (read more about the China Tour welcoming more foreign players here).

You may recall that Dragon Lake was the site of Zhou’s best finish in 2007, 8th place. And you may also recall that Zhou managed the top-10 finish despite an opening-round 80. He followed with rounds of 72, 70 and 69.

We will post the link for online live scoring tomorrow morning (we don’t know what it will be yet).

Thanks for following Zhou in 2008. And thanks for supporting Chinese golf!

周的2008赛季在明天早上8:40分开球!

冬休期转眼就过去了，但是从去年十月中巡赛2007赛季结束后，周的生活里发生了很大的转变。他在11月举行了婚礼（希望我们可以尽快多贴些照片），他和他的妻子刘艳在四月将迎来他们的第一个孩子（是个男孩哦），他们在重庆买了一套全新的房子，新赛季里周能否把注意力都集中在高尔夫上会是一个很有意思的看点。

很快我们就会有答案了，2008赛季本周四在广州的九龙湖高尔夫球会拉开帷幕，周早上8点40分开球，同组的包括来自安徽省的吕文旭和台湾的许孟男(更多关于中巡赛向外籍选手开放的消息点击这里)。

你可能还记得九龙湖是去年周取得最好成绩第八名的地方，当时周是在首轮打出80杆的不利开局下最终以前十名完赛，他最后三轮的成绩分别是72，70 和69。

明天早上我们会贴出直播比分的链接。

感谢在2008年关注周，感谢支持中国高尔夫！
