I just got it in yesterday, got through the first chapter so far. (What I think is the first chapter - there's no ToC.)

I have mixed expectations based on on interview he did on NLU's Trap Draw podcast. 

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

I'm on about page 80 and not really enjoying it. I'm right in the middle of the PED stuff, and Bamberger's own opinions are clear, and I'm really getting annoyed by the jumping around he's doing. We're in 2009, then we're up to 2017, then 2013, then back to the 2010 Masters, etc. It's annoying, particularly for a book that purports to be about 2017 onward.

And the PED stuff is bullshit. It appears to be entirely based on the hearsay of Tony Bosch, with no corroboration of literally anything.

I’m on page 100 or so and MY GOD this is why books usually have chapters. I was extremely unsurprised when he mentioned that his editor also edited the Benedict and Keteyian book.

I finished the book, didn’t like it at all really. It jumps around so much. I learned nothing new. I’m decidedly not a Bamberger fan, apparently.

Double bogey.

      Tommy Fleetwood is Overrated

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Akshay Bhatia beat him in a playoff last year I think. He went something like -7 on his last 7 holes to get into a playoff and then rinsed a wedge on the 1st extra hole in a way that would have made Tommy (and Rory) blush.

      Pins and Aces Acquires Edel

      By Shindig · Posted

      Tristan, did you end up getting the new Edel wedges?  I'm very about due for new wedges.  I was trying other configurations a few years ago and somehow my 54 and 58 are both hand-me-downs that I never got around to getting as new and fitted, and my last new-as-in-new wedges were Ping Glides a long time ago.  I was thinking of Edel wedges earlier today, although their website seems to list only two fitters.   Did you end up getting them, and if so, what do you think of them?

      @colin007, in terms of realistic sci-fi, its the best ever. They actually had an astrophysicist consult on the movie to be as accurate as possible with what we know about the universe.  For like dystopian, Blade Runner is probably king. Action/suspense is probably Alien/Aliens. Though Starship Troopers is fantastic. The Matrix is amazing.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 4 (August 14).  Full swing in my indoor practice room;  6-iron, off a mat, into a net.  Focus was on what I believe was my priority piece at last lesson (which, admittedly, was almost three years ago, due to absence).  I hit about a dozen balls this morning before going into the office.  (Also, errata to yesterday:  9 of the 12 coins were picked up on the second or third go around -- you can't pick up one on the first go around for that drill)

      Watched The Gentlemen, took a little bit to get into it, but very good Guy Ritchie movie.  Collin Farrell and Hugh Grant were great. Give it a birdie.
