Horrible.  They looked like a bunch of APA 5’s.

It wasn't good.

In lighter news, played league last night and Alex Olinger was subbing for the other team. It's a 5 round league, so you play everyone on the other team once. I shot a 42 (out of possible 50) with my only loss coming against Alex on his break. I did see the table as he broke dry, but made a bad play. On the other hand, we were a man short so we rotated for our extra slot. Our team captain ended up breaking against Alex twice, and he broke and ran both games. Overall, we held him to 25 points, the lowest on their team.

Hold on to your butts! This is going to be a bit of a long post. A bit of back story: So I started playing pool over at my grandma's house when I was about 11 years old (1999). Most of my mom's s

Good job.  That has to be the longest post I've ever thoroughly enjoyed reading.

Well, I’m gonna start this up again. Starting with a story.

My mom went down to Captiva at the beginning of November to spend a few days with her friends on the beach. Unfortunately, it rained pretty much every day while they were down there, and there was a pool table in her beach house, so that’s what they played. She loved it. When she got home, she told us about it, and we all agreed that we wanted a pool table in our house. 

Back to the present. My bro and I came home one day to this beauty sitting in our guest bedroom, an early Christmas present.

It’s obviously not a full-length table (no way we could’ve fit a full-sized pool table anywhere in our house), but it’s pretty close. Obviously we had to assemble it first, but that took several days, as we lost one of the legs. Today is only our third day of playing it, and I’ve already played at least a dozen games. I love it, and we’re having company over tonight, so I’m looking forward to playing!

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
