\"ZhouWhile Zhou Xunshu and the rest of the Mainland China’s pro golfers take a three-month competitive break (mandated by the Chinese government during the buildup to the Beijing Olympic Games), we thought we’d use the opportunity to give you a brief update on Zhou Xunshu’s 2008 season.<\/p>\n

After starting the year with top-10 finishes in Guangzhou and Xiamen, Zhou struggled a bit in the Omega China Tour tournaments that followed. He placed 22nd in Kunming, 51st in Shanghai and 24th in Nanjing. He also finished 36th in the “International Wind Cup” China Pro-Am, a Beijing tournament not affiliated with the China Tour. The Chengdu leg of the China Tour, scheduled for early June, was postponed due to the devastating earthquake that hit Sichuan Province.<\/p>\n

Zhou’s finish in Shanghai was one of his worst finishes since he joined the China Tour, and after the tournament, renowned Shanghai-based golf instructor Michael Dickie (pictured<\/em>) of the David Leadbetter Golf Academy offered to help with Zhou’s short game and putting. The overwhelming majority of Chinese pros can’t afford a coach \u00e2\u20ac\u201d they are<\/em> the nation’s coaches \u00e2\u20ac\u201d so having someone like Dickie on his side is a great luxury for Zhou. The two may meet up again in August prior to the relaunch of the 2008 China Tour schedule.<\/p>\n

Zhou will spend most of the summer in Chongqing teaching at the Hao Yun Driving Range and enjoying the company of his wife and newborn son.<\/p>\n
