After practicing all afternoon, at four o'clock, there was only one short hole left. In the previous seventeen holes, he only made one birdie, and he shot a total of 74. His luck today was average. When he was in Detroit, he shot many times

Par score.

A shot from 80 to 100 is an amateur standard. If he can score three shots on the last hole, he will be 77, which is considered relatively good among amateurs.

The tee table he chose is a semi-professional-level golden tee table, which has the second longest distance among the five tee tables, second only to the black tee of professional players.

Different tee boxes and different distances from the hole have different total course lengths. Professional black tees are generally 6,900 to 7,200 meters long, and gold tees are generally 6,600 to 6,800 meters long.

His arm strength and core strength are good. He has kicked off the ball 17 times, and the longest distance has reached 280 yards. This result has even reached the level of professional players, but it was only once. The other drives were all between 230 yards and 250 yards.

Between codes, it is at a semi-professional level.

Philip looked at the sign next to the tee box, which marked the distance between the tee point and the hole, and then encouraged: "Zhou, this hole is only one hundred yards, try to score it in three strokes, don't overshoot.

"

"Don't you expect me to make another birdie?" Zhou Quan laughed.

"I'm not just looking forward to birdies, I'm also looking forward to eagles, albatross, and even a hole-in-one." Philip smiled.

Zhou Quan came to the hitting point and took the No. 5 long club handed by the caddy.

The long clubs are No. 1, 3, and 5, which correspond to the long hole, the middle hole, and the short hole respectively. He raised the club and looked sideways at the hole beyond 95.

The terrain of this last hole was very favorable. There was no high ground in the middle and the view was unobstructed. There was only a puddle and a bunker. He could see the hole directly.

But at the other end of the green, there is a rough area and even a forest. If you hit there, you won't be able to hit a few shots.

He now needs to try to hit the ball directly to the green, but not beyond the green, so the force must be just right.

Generally speaking, no matter what the hole is, two strokes must be left above the green, and the number of strokes remaining from the tee to the green is the number of strokes remaining.

In other words, the best way to play a short hole now is to hit the green in one shot, and then hole out in two shots over the green. If you only hole out in one shot over the green, it's a birdie.

Therefore, the serve is very important, which determines whether you can make a par or even a birdie.

He lowered his head to aim at the ball, balanced his center of gravity, and placed his center of gravity in the middle of his feet, trying not to put it on the soles of his front feet. Zhou Quan exhaled lightly and began to swing his arms to hit.

The hitting action is not fast, nor does it need to be fast. Hitting too fast will cause the hitting surface to be distorted and unable to form a flat surface.

Even going too fast and being unlucky can cause spinal sprains.

"Crack!"

As the club falls and then rises again, a crisp sound of hitting is heard, and the white golf ball instantly flies high into the distance.

The top of the ball's arc is very high. Zhou Quan deliberately hit the ball with a high arc so that when the ball finally falls, it will land at an almost right angle. Although it will bounce, it will not roll too far.

The reason for this is that he doesn't want the ball to roll off the green.

For this ball, his intended landing point was the hole. He tried to hit that point, then used the putter to solve the problem in two strokes and made a birdie.

The so-called birdie is one shot below par. The par for a short hole is three. A hole-in-two is a birdie.

In addition to birdies, there are also so-called eagles and albatross, which are two and three under par respectively.

He and Philip watched the ball flying high and then watched it slide down.

A few seconds later, the white ball shot into the hole instantly like a sharp arrow and disappeared.

A staff member on the green over there also quickly ran over, picked up the ball from the hole, and then raised his hand high to indicate that the ball had entered the hole.

"Haha... good luck." He laughed.

"Oh! Oh, a hole-in-one?"

Philip exclaimed in disbelief, and shouted to Zhou Quan: "Zhou, I suggest you switch to golf. If you play well, you will make no less than basketball."

"I will consider it." Zhou Quan smiled.

Philip asked with a smile: "75, 3 over par, a good score. If you practice more, you can really play professionally.

Do you want me to make arrangements for you? Now the US Golf Tour has reached its sixth stop in Phoenix. Starting next week, I will try to get you a wild card."

"No, not yet. My focus is basketball. I can't be distracted at the moment. Let's talk about it later." Zhou Quan shook his head.

At this time, Jordan and others had had enough fun in the stadium. A group of people had dinner at the stadium and then played cards here.

Jordan was in a good mood and had good luck today. He shot 76, which was only 4 strokes above par. If he performs better in the charity match tomorrow, he might be able to shoot below par.

"Hey, Michael, look."

Buckley suddenly handed over a newspaper in his hand and said: "The Los Angeles Daily News said that Iron Fist has also been invited to participate in tomorrow's charity match."

Jordan took it and took a look. It was true. He threw away the newspaper and said disdainfully: "That country bumpkin from China, has he ever touched a golf club? Does his country have a golf course?"

"Ha ha……"

A bunch of superstars laughed.

As a good friend of Jordan, Oakley also came with him. At this time, he said disdainfully: "This guy is not qualified to participate in the celebrity charity game. Is he a celebrity?

At most, he is a little famous in Detroit. The famous Detroit Killer is nothing in other places."

Barkley said with a smile: "Then you underestimated Iron Fist. His performance in the playoffs, especially his performance against Michael in the Eastern Conference Finals, was enough to become a star."

Larry Bird laughed: "Not to mention his performance on the court, just because of the violence in the locker room, personally ending the Bad Boys Army, just because of his feud with you and Michael, he has a good reputation in the United States.

, otherwise why would I get a signed sneaker contract?”

Magic Johnson smiled and said: "Charles, you may have overlooked that the Iron Fist Slayer is quite famous in Los Angeles! During the Eastern Conference Finals, his sneakers were selling well in Los Angeles."

"Really?" Oakley said bitterly.

…

August 13, 1992, Los Angeles Celebrity Charity Golf Tournament.

At eight o'clock, Zhou Quan, accompanied by Philip, came to the National Golf Course.

The official men's professional tournament consists of four rounds. This charity tournament has only two days in total. Two rounds are played in one round a day. They participate in the charity auction in the morning and then officially start playing golf at 9 o'clock. They play nine holes in the morning and afternoon.

There were a total of forty or fifty celebrities. In addition to Jordan and other eleven members of the Dream Team, there were also more than a dozen Hollywood first-line movie stars, as well as seven or eight other sports stars, and more than twenty celebrities in the political, legal and business circles.

celebrity.

There are a lot of media, no matter which celebrity they are, they are the targets they chase.

There were already many people outside the venue who had bought tickets to enter. Some were golf fans, and many more were fans who came to chase stars. There were at least a thousand people.

In terms of popularity and qualifications, Zhou Quan is considered a minor player and cannot be compared. However, in Los Angeles, his popularity is not bad. When he entered the venue, some local media immediately came over to interview him.

"Tekken, have you ever played golf?" a reporter from the Los Angeles Daily News asked.

"I have never played a game, including amateur games. When I played by myself, the best score was three under par. I was lucky yesterday. When I was practicing on another golf course, I also made a hole-in-one, but

It’s just a short hole of a hundred yards.” Zhou Quan smiled.

This is not the time to be humble, otherwise the media will not praise you.

Golf is known as an aristocratic sport, and it attracts a lot of attention. Golf is also one of the most profitable sports. He will strive to play better today, and it is best to shoot a par.

"Oh, that's good!" the reporter praised.

"Michael Jordan and the others have arrived just now. Everyone has prepared charity donations. What have you prepared?" a Los Angeles Sports reporter asked.

Zhou Quan smiled and said: "Of course I have prepared them. They are the hockey gloves I used when I won the championship with the Bruins last year."

Barkley, who was not far away, blushed when he heard that. Didn't you give those gloves to me? When did you steal them back?

"Hey, Iron Fist..."

"Hey, hello."

"Tekken Slayer, when are you going to play ice hockey again?"

"I'll play if I get a chance."

Some people who knew him outside the venue shouted from time to time.

"Hi, Miss Roberts."

"Iron Fist, long time no see."

"Hey, Larry."

"Iron Fist, have you applied for your boxing license?" Larry Bird asked mysteriously.

"You know?" Zhou Quan was a little surprised.

"Boxing license?"

Roberts had sharp ears and heard it.

"snort!"

Oakley and the postman both snorted.

Zhou Quan smiled and said to Roberts: "When I first entered the NBA, some guys wanted to bully me..." At this point, he pointed at Oakley and the postman and said: "There is also a guy named Larry Johnson.

I can only play with them."
