			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://golf.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Leish.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-375" title="Leish" src="http://golf.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Leish.jpg" alt="Leish" width="400" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>This much is for certain: April is going to be a huge month for Marc  Leishman. Not only is the Aussie making his Masters debut in Augusta on  April 8th, he&#8217;s tying the knot with fiance Audrey Hills on April 24. As  he prepared for the Bay Hill Invitational on Tuesday, he couldn&#8217;t help  but think about the month ahead.</p>
<p>So which event is he more nervous about? Not the wedding, according  to Leishman (good answer). &#8220;<em>I&#8217;m actually looking forward to it</em>,&#8221;  he said with a smile. &#8220;<em>I know she&#8217;s the right person so I&#8217;m not  nervous at all.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>The PGA Tour seems to be the right fit for the big man from Down  Under as well. He followed up his Rookie of the Year performance in 2009  with a solid start to 2010 including a runner up finish at the Farmers  Insurance Open and 3 other top 20&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Still, he&#8217;s looking to improve:</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>There&#8217;s still a lot of work to be done</em>,&#8221; Leishman said. &#8220;<em>The  results just don&#8217;t come. In ways it&#8217;s been easier because I&#8217;ve played  some of the courses before and know where to hit it and where not to hit  it</em>&#8230;<em>I guess it&#8217;s harder in other ways, though, because of the  expectations. You are expected to do better than your first year out,  but I like that (challenge)</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>The trip to the Masters will also be special for Leishman&#8217;s coach <a href="http://bannlynchgolf.com/blog/?page_id=80">Denis McDade</a> from <a href="http://bannlynchgolf.com">Bann Lynch Golf</a>, who will be  making his first appearance as a coach at Augusta.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, South Korean K.J Choi has his own sights set on another  Masters appearance (he has played in every Masters since 2002). Choi  made a huge leap from 75th in the Official World Golf Rankings to 47th  after his runner up finish last week in the Transitions Championship. He  needs to remain in the top 50 at the end of this week to cement his  position in this year&#8217;s Masters field.</p>
<p>&#8220;When I started out this year, I didn&#8217;t really think about it that  much, but obviously it was in my mind,&#8221; said Choi when asked about the  Masters. &#8220;I just said to myself to take it week-by-week and just try my  best. To hear that this finish puts me in 47th in the world, it&#8217;s  actually better than what I thought I would be at this point. All I can  say is I will try my best next week to maintain or better that  position.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Steve Bann, coach to Stuart Appleby, K.J Choi and Nick Flanagan has done a world first by agreeing to conduct daily Skype interviews straight from Augusta. Steve is staying with Stuart Appleby and his family this week and has been very generous with his time during what is always a very busy week.</p>
<p>In this series of &#8216;Skyperviews&#8217;, Steve talks on a range of topics including Stuart Appleby and K.J Choi&#8217;s performances at The Masters, the golf course setup, what the players are working on this week and about Greg Norman, Geoff Ogilvy, Aaron Baddeley (who is back working with Steve&#8217;s coaching partner Dale Lynch) and of course, Tiger Woods.</p>
<p>Steve provides viewers with a unique insight into The Masters experience, through the eyes of a PGA Tour coach and his star players. Watching these videos, you get an idea of the kind of hard work that goes into preparing for a Major championship, but also the human side of the players and coaches in this highly competitive business.</p>
<p>In keeping with the New Media theme, Steve and Stuart Appleby have also joined the Social Network &#8220;Twitter&#8221; and will be providing regular updates through 140 character messages known as &#8220;tweets&#8221;.</p>
<p>You can check out Steve Bann&#8217;s Videos from Augusta at &#8220;TwitR Golfers&#8221;- The website for all golfers who are on Twitter.</p>
