That's a good idea.  Sort of make the "price" of the free lessons a diary that we can all follow along with. Can we nominate more than one person?  If so, I'd like to throw @newtogolf 's

Nah, we just want a thread where we can mock your wild flailing.

This is a really tough decision, because I like all three of the finalists. . .Hmm. . .Who?

Can we see them in subsequent months?

That's easy.  All respect due to Bill and Colin ... but I somehow forgot to nominate Brandon originally :doh::doh: so my vote goes his way.

Thanks for the nominations, guys! This is definitely a tough choice, I don't envy you. Fortunately, it's easier for me because I'm in the running, so no disrespect to @bplewis24 , but I'm voting for @colin007 based solely on geographic location.

Yes tough choices but this isn't a one and done thing, as I said in the OP w e're planning to have this go for at least a year (six lesson months, six nomination months) so there's always next time. The same guy isn't going to be the winner every time ;-)

For the finalists, you can vote for yourself, someone else or not vote. I would vote for myself B-)

Deal. Hey, congratulations. Just a little commitment of one daily progress video, and one course vid per week. Looking forward to seeing them!

      Playing With Irons

      By iacas ·

      Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
