LPGA cancels CP Women’s Open

Jul 01. 2020

By THE NATION

Due to ongoing travel/border restrictions and government quarantine requirements as part of the COVID-19 pandemic, the LPGA Tour and Golf Canada announced today that the CP Women’s Open, scheduled for Sept. 3-6, will not take place in 2020.

It will return to the LPGA Tour schedule on Aug. 26-29, 2021, with the competition taking place at Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, which was set to host the 2020 tournament.

“The CP Women’s Open is truly a world-class event and a favorite stop for all of us at the LPGA Tour,” said LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan. “I understand this was a tough decision for everyone involved, but given the restrictions faced, there was simply nothing else that could be done that would have enabled us to run the event in 2020. It is disappointing to miss Canada’s national championship and I know I speak for all LPGA Tour players and staff when I say we look forward to being back in Vancouver next year.”

Evolution Wellness Launches Licensing Programme for Asia’s Smartest Gym

Jul 01. 2020

By THE NATION

Evolution Wellness today announced the launch of a competitive licensing programme for its high value, low price (HVLP) gym brand GoFit.

A new concept developed and owned by Evolution Wellness, GoFit is guidedby its brand values of Smart, Bold, and Invigorating,and a game-changer in the HVLP category, presenting members with a smart new way to train through a no-frills, fuss-free yet high quality gym experience. Through its global licensing programme, Evolution Wellness sees an opportunity to address an audience of millions, and confidently predicts a global reach of over 1000 licensed clubs.

With membership prices starting from approximately USD20 a month, GoFit is not just affordably priced, but also very well equipped with a wide range of cardio, strength and Olympic lifting equipment catering to all levels of gym goers — from the new-to-fitness customer, to the fitness fanatic. At a GoFit club, access is gained through an app for increased security, which facilitates 24/7 operating hours should the demographic require it, while a self-managed membership system makes it easy for members to purchase add-on services such as a session on a HydroMassage Lounger¹, or a FitQuest fitness assessment². Members can also participate in a Signature GoFit workout³, SuperCircuit^TM; workoutto scheduled or on-demand digital classes, as well as stream their own workouts onto the large screens in the MyGoZone^TM.

The first GoFit club in the world, which is owned and operated by Evolution Wellness, opened its doors to members at Central i-City Mall in Shah Alam, Malaysia last November, and is already serving over 2,000 members. The flexible nature of the GoFit model saw the first location implementing a ladies-only ‘gym within a gym’, privately accessed through the woman’s changing room. “This feature has been a fantastic success in the Malaysia market, and we believe that it has significant further potential in markets overseas,” said Simon Flint, Chief Executive Officer, Evolution Wellness.

Evolution Wellness has already committed to a further 12 GoFit clubs in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia on an owned and operated basis, and is in discussion on a number of additional sites in the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Singapore.

“In addition to our owned and operated clubs, we are today officially launching our licensing programme which will see this new and exciting HVLP brand go global. We already have keen interest from investors looking to participate in this at the master licensee level, which gives us a lot of confidence in the credibility and reach of this brand,” Flint added. “The collective experience of our senior leadership team draws from decades of exposure to the global fitness industry, therefore there’s a lot of captured learning invested in creating our GoFit brand. The public response to our launch site in Malaysia has been everything we could have hoped for, and we are genuinely excited to introduce this brand onto the global stage.”

GoFit’s Director of Licensing, Nad Myan, said, “The budget gym segment around the world has experienced accelerated growth in recent years, and we feel that there is still a lot of room for growth in the truly high value, low price category. We’re excited at GoFit’s potential to change the way people think about budget gyms, and we’d like to invite fitness-loving entrepreneurs and individuals to join us on our journey. We have a competitive licensing programme that we believe is the most attractive fitness business platform for those looking to venture into the vibrant global fitness industry, with the expertise and commercial support of Asia’s leading health club operator.”

Pan’s R.V.: A new way of travel on the PGA TOUR

Jun 27. 2020C.T. Pan with his recreational vehicle

C.T. Pan’s latest big-ticket purchase started just like so many others often do – with a late night spent surfing the internet.

The PGA TOUR star was still looking for ways to productively use his time as the Covid-19 pandemic forced a three-month halt to not just professional golf, but everyday life as we knew it. So, as he and wife Michelle bunkered inside their home looking for things to do, Pan eventually turned his sights toward creating a YouTube channel to show off his golf tips for curious fans.

That eventually led them down the rabbit hole of videos about recreational vehicles, or RVs for short.

“During quarantine, like everyone, we were watching a bunch of videos on YouTube,” he said. “We felt like, ‘Hey, this could be a good idea.’”

Pan consumed one video after another, learning more and more about this alternative way of travel.

“We just started watching a bunch of videos, trying to study,” he recalled. “Class A. Class B. Class C. The fifth wheel. Now I know all of those terms. It’s funny,” said Pan.

The next thing the Pans knew, they were the proud owners of a 2020 Pleasure-Way Ascent, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van. In Pan’s RV language, the vehicle is a Class B motorhome, meaning it is essentially a passenger van that has been outfitted for full-time travel. It comes complete with a queen-sized bed, bathroom and kitchen.

Life on the PGA TOUR molds players into frequent travelers in a hurry. Picking up and moving from city to city every single week tends to do that. Little seems to vary from location to location, as players arrive at the airport, pick up a rental car and head to their hotel of choice.

This is repeated over and over again, from the very beginning of the FedExCup season to the very end, at the TOUR Championship outside Atlanta.

But for the Pan family, life on the road now entails driving for hours at a time on the open road. Though family members are barred from attending PGA TOUR events in order to eliminate the spread of the coronavirus, Michelle is along for the ride as the Pan’s opt to wake up in the calming forests of nearby state parks instead of the hotel rooms closely situated next to golf courses.

“The best thing, I think, is in the morning when I wake up and see the beautiful forest and sunshine,” he said. “It’s just awesome to see that in the morning instead of waking up in a hotel every week seeing the white ceiling. It’s great to have a different scene. It definitely helps me relax my mind.”

The couple has already put around 3,200 kilometers on the vehicle, beginning with the trip from the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas, to Hilton Head, S.C., where Pan was set to defend his title at the RBC Heritage.

Pan had missed the cut in the Tour’s return to golf, so he and his wife began the trip on Saturday with an overnight stop at Roosevelt State Park outside Jackson, Miss. “Good thing I missed the cut so I could take my time, “Pan said, laughing. “It was a beautiful spot close to a lake. We just hung out, saw a bunch of people there. We spent the night and then Sunday we drove for like 10 hours to here.

“It’s a long drive but it’s good to have my wife with me,” he continued. “Family isn’t allowed on the Tour right now, so it’s good to have her by my side. If anything bad happened we wanted to stay together.”

Pan, who featured in his Presidents Cup debut for the International Team last year, expects to play every event in this condensed season, meaning he will log plenty of kilometers on his new purchase. That continued with the 14-hour trip this week from Hilton Head to TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn., site of this week’s Travelers Championship.

A fitting location for the Tour’s most expert traveler.

“It’s compact, so I can just drive into player parking and park in any spot,” Pan said. “It’s got everything. It’s got diesel, the diesel generator, A.C. units, all that stuff. I plan to play every single week. So I’ll just drive everywhere.”

Deck-climbing, dog-racing, break dancing: One NFL player’s quarantine workout stands out

Jun 26. 2020Wes Schweitzer, a new Redskins guard, has one of the NFL’s most creative workout programs, and it made him one of the league’s best-prepared players for training during quarantine. MUST CREDIT: Photo courtesy of Wes Schweitzer.

By The Washington Post · Sam Fortier · SPORTS, HEALTH, FOOTBALL
In April, Wes Schweitzer decided to scale his backyard deck like a bear. The 6-foot-4, 325-pound Washington Redskins guard planted his feet at the base of one post and grabbed it with his arms fully extended. He began to shimmy up, up, up, focusing on the placement of his feet and hands, in a climb that embodied his offseason.

Of all the creative workout routines taken on by football players during the novel coronavirus pandemic, none stand out quite like Schweitzer’s – beyond climbing, the regimen also includes hand-standing, dog-racing and break dancing.

“If you say [my workouts] to someone, they’ll say, ‘That’s ridiculous,'” Schweitzer said. “Then they’ll try it, and they’ll realize it’s really hard.”

The unorthodox approach, which Schweitzer adopted three years ago and expanded while confined to his home during the pandemic, was recommended by a former teammate and orchestrated by Austin Einhorn, a Northern California movement guru who studies animals for inspiration and quotes the likes of Albert Einstein.

The program doesn’t require big weight plates or machines, so Schweitzer was one of the NFL’s best-prepared players to work out during the shutdown, which has forced professional athletes to confront the type of mundane logistical challenges they’re accustomed to avoiding. NFL players will eventually return to the field after a longer-than-normal absence from football activities, making their at-home efforts to stay in shape – and perhaps lower risk of injury – essential.

Schweitzer’s teammates have found different ways to navigate the challenge. Many players have cranked out push-ups and situps at home – “jail-body workouts,” joked safety Sean Davis – while others built out home gyms. Some innovated, including lineman Paul Adams, who helped construct a weight room with felled trees. Edge rusher Ryan Kerrigan replaced a weighted sled by pushing his car, which he claimed was “not that bad” and more of a distance challenge.

Quarterback Dwayne Haskins and a few wide receivers found fields in Florida, a state with relatively relaxed regulations. Rookie defensive end Chase Young stuck with longtime trainer Martin Gibson as they adapted to backyard workouts. Others sought out positional gurus.

Landon Collins, who is training with fellow safety Deshazor Everett and other defensive backs at a facility in Louisiana, noted that players monitor one another’s workouts. The subtext: Don’t let your fitness level slip.

“Most of us post what we do on Instagram,” Collins said, “so I know what everybody is doing.”

On Schweitzer’s Instagram profile, there’s a video titled “Home Movement.” He crawls, hangs, contorts, no-hand headstands and pistol squats. He clean-and-presses a large stone. He break dances the windmill. Sometimes, when playing fetch with his dogs, he’ll race them to see if he can get to the tennis ball first. From his knees, he folds himself backward like the top of an omelet, and later, when he dead lifts his wife, Shelby, he writes, “Weight confidential,” with an emoji wink.

In sum, Schweitzer’s simple goal: Move better. He began focusing on such fundamentals when he met Einhorn. The former Stanford volleyball assistant suffered a stress fracture in his back in college, and during his recovery he became obsessed with movement. He tried physical therapy and strength-and-conditioning drills and, eventually, formed a new discipline at Apiros, the practice he founded.

About two years ago, a mentor asked Einhorn about the root of the movements he had studied. In evolution, which are preserved, and which are jettisoned? Einhorn compared the anatomy of different animals and reduced each “organism . . . to a means of locomotion.” He believed he had found a skeleton key to conditioning – train the body as it had evolved to be trained – and pointed to humans’ most basic state. Babies instinctively understand how to operate against gravity, from crawling to squats.

“They haven’t learned it through practice or a celebrity Instagram trainer,” Einhorn said. “Those same biological processes have been going on for millions of years.”

When Schweitzer and Einhorn began working together, Schweitzer felt worn down with a bulged disc in his back and ankle sprains. They started by correcting his posture, focusing on exertion rather than weight – “a handstand at 10 seconds of max effort is the same as bench-pressing maximum weight,” Schweitzer said – and drawing inspiration from “elite movers,” such as ice skaters, break dancers and rock climbers. Within two years, Schweitzer’s squat increased from 545 pounds to 675 and he felt better, with fewer small, nagging injuries.

“There’s not some secret; we’re not rewriting movement or anything,” Schweitzer said. “It’s just a different lens.”

This offseason, Schweitzer signed with the Redskins and is expected to compete with Wes Martin to start at left guard. He’s focused his workouts on “rotational movement” because, while he maintains a weightlifting baseline, he believes range-of-motion training maximizes athletes. It reduces pain and allows players to be at their best every day in a league that prizes availability. He also said that, as the NFL speeds up every year, the best players are strong and mobile.

Schweitzer, a fifth-year veteran, pointed out that the average NFL player’s career lasts about three years. He believes “a lot” of them end early because of injury, some due to unavoidable “bang-bang” plays, but far more to the effects of accumulated ailments. Inefficient movement and “asymmetries” break down the body, Schweitzer said, and he wants to minimize that risk.

“I feel amazing right now,” Schweitzer said. “I’m getting close to 330 [pounds] – I’m 325 right now – and I can do all these things. It’s great because, growing up, I thought these movements just weren’t for bigger people.”

Einhorn worries the NFL will experience an injury spike when players return to the facilities and gyms they’ve been absent from for months. But he doesn’t fret about Schweitzer – provided he continues to take the same level of care of his body once practices and games resume.

“How [Schweitzer] recovers during the season,” Einhorn said, “will be just as important as what he’s doing now.”

By June, after Northern Virginia eased into reopening, Schweitzer no longer needed to scale his deck. He and Shelby found a bouldering spot on a nearby trail called Bear’s Den. Schweitzer planted his feet, grabbed onto an exposed rock lip and shimmied up, up, up, as high as this quarantine training would take him.

By THE NATION

The Ladies European Tour (LET) has launched a fresh logo, new website and tag line, Raise Our Game, capturing the ambition of the new LPGA-LET joint venture partnership and a shared desire to keep moving women’s golf forward.

The brand refresh includes a short film created in-house, capturing the passion and potential of the LET players, celebrating their hard work, dedication and perseverance.

Narrated by Solheim Cup star Suzann Pettersen and with a script written by multiple LET champion Meghan MacLaren, it focuses on the hard work and determination it takes to achieve goals, inspiring women and girls to pursue their passion and realise their potential through the game of golf.

Watch the LET video here.

Download the video here.

Talented writer Meghan MacLaren, who wrote the script, said: “I loved working on this project and it was great to play an active role in the new direction of our Tour. This is an exciting time for the LET and for women’s golf and to see the growth potential as we look ahead to the future for the next is very fulfilling. I’ve always worked hard to raise my game and I’m proud to be a Member of a Tour which gives us the opportunity to raise our game further.”

Meghan’s script focuses on thefierce commitment required to compete at the highest level and highlights the importance of the friends, family and wider community of tournament promoters, sponsors and media who together lay the path to drive women’s golf forward:

It starts with something we can’t define. 

It’s a dream, but we’re too young to know what it is, where it might take us.

Our family, coaches, friends… they know. On cold winter mornings and warm summer nights, they help us shape it into something we believe in.

Sometimes we lose it. Sometimes we stop believing. Sometimes we wonder if it’s all really worth it… but we don’t stop.

Because in every new city that embraces us and every new partner who invests in us, on every Monday that promises and every Thursday that threatens to take away – we have a chance to find it again. A chance to believe again. A chance to make each moment our own.

But it’s yours too, because you’re there by our side, guiding the way. You helped create it.

So it’s time to believe, in all of our dreams.

Together, let’s raise our game.

MacLaren also wrote a first-person piece, telling the story of how she raised her game.

Read Meghan’s #RaiseOurGame story here.

Suzann Pettersen, one of the most iconic European golfers of all time, who holed the winning putt at the 2019 Solheim Cup, said: “I wouldn’t be where I am without the LET and I’m excited about the next chapter of the Tour’s history as it looks to provide even more opportunities for women and girls in the game. I’m thrilled to narrate this inspirational video, re-branding the new LET. The future is bright for the LET and its Members.”  

LET Chief Executive Alexandra Armas said: “This brand refresh expresses our excitement about the LET and its future, how passionate and proud we all are to represent this strong new brand and that we are in this journey together with our partners, determined to create greater opportunities for the women who play golf today and for the ones that will follow in the future.

“It has been an unprecedented and eventful start to the new decade. In January, we announced a record-breaking schedule and we were extremely excited about the 2020 season. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, it has been a challenging time for us of late, but we are now focused on the long term.

“This is not only the time to preserve tournaments in 2020 but to build the future that we’re so excited about moving forward for women’s golf. 2020 is a building block to a bigger and better 2021, 2022 and beyond. Together, let’s do all we can to raise our game.”
