Germany’s Great Hope: Martin Kaymer
Double major champion Bernhard Langer put Germany on the golfing map throughout the 1980s and 1990s but since the turn of the century, the country’s been crying out for a replacement. After claiming the 2007 European Tour rookie of the year award, Martin Kaymer may very well be the answer. Having won twice on the European Tour this season along with two second place finishes, Kaymer also just missed out on this year’s Ryder Cup, ending up being the first reserve. However, his time is sure to come as he is still only 23 years of age. On this edition of Living Golf, Kaymer invites CNN back to his home town of Dusseldorf to get to know him better and to find out how he feels about taking over Langer’s mantle.

This is especially true of a professional whose mind can often buckle under the pressure of playing in a tournament. It seems odd that amateurs spend so much time learning to swing the club and paying large amounts of money for lessons but very little time on training the mind to play golf. Now researchers Pro Golf IQ believe they have found a way to train the mind to play the game – or is it just another gimmick? Justin Armsden investigates.
